## 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](https://www.hunker.com/2226937/consumer-reports-smart-buy-robotic-lawn-mower-ecovacs-goat-affordable/)

### 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](https://gizmodo.com/mova-lidax-pro-800-review-this-robomower-tried-to-mow-me-down-2000814001)
- 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](https://www.videotesty.pl/recenzja/2765/test-mova-lidax-ultra-800-sprawny-ciekawy-koszacy-do-krawedzi/)
