## What reviewers found

### 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](https://bgr.com/2168359/ecovacs-goat-a3000-lidar-pro-review/)
- 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](https://www.bobvila.com/reviews/ecovacs-robotic-lawn-mower-review/)

### Lymow One

- Yanko Design: Tested on a yard with 32 oak trees. About one hour from unboxing to first mow, mapped 6,778 sq ft, and a full mow took about 178 to 185 minutes. It climbed a 6 in stump, threw a track on a 6 in curb and recovered, and stopped quickly for a foot in its path. Cut matched a walk behind mower on St. Augustine grass.

- Freshly Charged: One week of backyard testing on a pre production unit. Cleared 2 in obstacles and small steps, never got stuck and left clean stripes in long grass. Noticeably louder than rivals (68 dB on the spec sheet) and hard to move at 77.6 lb. [Source](https://freshlycharged.com/reviews/364/2024-lymow-one-review)
