What reviewers found
Ecovacs GOAT O1000 RTK
- Consumer Reports (via Hunker): Earned a Smart Buy badge with top marks for cutting, convenience and safety; noise and build were rated just below top. Source
Mova LiDAX Pro 800
- Gizmodo: Mowed about 1,500 sq ft in about two hours, ending near 19% battery, with an even cut and LiDAR navigation that stayed in its zones. But it pushed into the reviewer's leg for several seconds, rammed a raised bed with object detection off and knocked over a pot; it got stuck on pavers and uneven ground. Verdict: a hard pass unless obstacle avoidance improves. Source
- VideoTesty.pl: Tested the European LiDAX Ultra 800, a close sibling. Mowed a 70 m2 zone in about one hour, avoided rakes, a watering can and a small tree, got stuck once on a fresh soil mound, and left longer grass along the boundary (cuts to about 5 cm from the edge). Recommended. Source
