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
eufy E18
- PCWorld (TechHive): On a small but complex yard it was running in under 30 minutes and mapped about 400 sq ft in under 10 minutes. Cut was even from the first mow, but slopes needed no go zones, tall weeds were flagged as obstacles, and glare and walkway stones confused it. Rear wheel drive felt underpowered. Source
- Freshly Charged: Setup took about 10 minutes and mapping about 45 minutes, the fastest the site had tested. Detected and avoided toys, furniture and a dog, then went back to mow the missed area. Ran up to 26° slopes without issues; battery drained relatively quickly on larger yards. Source
