What reviewers found
Ecovacs GOAT A2000 LiDAR PRO
- EFTM (90%): On a narrow, sloped yard with a rock wall it set up easily and built a detailed 3D LiDAR map. Trimmer worked on clear edges but missed square corners. It often got stuck on the sloped edge by the wall until no go zones were added. Sub scores: design 93%, usability 94%, performance 86%, value 87%. Source
- Witchdoctor: On a muddy, dog worn lawn in Wellington it mapped from one boundary walk, mowed the whole section on one charge, and the TruEdge trimmer cleaned recessed brick borders. Avoided small and medium objects with dogs nearby; rear wheels spun in deep mud. Source
Ecovacs GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO
- BGR: Edge trimmer replaced roughly 75 to 90% of manual trimming; auto mapping took about five minutes; tall grass and weeds were sometimes treated as obstacles and left uncut. Source
- Bob Vila (4.5/5): A month on a sloped St. Augustine lawn: excellent cut on thick grass, edge trimmer cut close to walls and pavers, no stuck events, recharged in about 70 minutes. Source
