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
Sunseeker X7
- PCWorld (TechHive): On a quarter acre lot the 0.75 acre model avoided a drainage hole that trapped other mowers, even at night, and its floating plates evened out a bumpy lawn. Boundary setup took almost an hour; it could not climb a steep side slope; app was the main weakness. Source
- The Gadgeteer: Mapped about 484 m² with RTK; mowing it took just under two hours. Avoided a person's legs but not a softball, and needed no go zones under trees. Did not auto resume after charging. Ranked a close second to a Mammotion Luba. Source
