## 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%.

- 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](https://www.witchdoctor.co.nz/?p=90410)

### Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD

- TechRadar (Performance 5/5, Value 4/5): Tested the LUBA 3 AWD 3000: simple setup, reliable scheduling and docking, professional looking stripes; front wheels damaged grass in shade during zero turns and the app was glitchy. Called it highly recommended. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/small-appliances/mammotion-luba-3-awd-3000-review)
- Gear Diary (4.5/5): Tested the 3000: drove itself between two lawn sections split by a driveway; obstacle avoidance missed a rubber hose on the low setting; no grass damage seen. [Source](https://geardiary.com/2026/06/23/mammotion-luba-3-awd-review/)
