ECOVACS GOAT A2000 LiDAR PRO review

A wire-free LiDAR robot with its own edge trimmer, aimed at larger yards, with a rating of 3.9 from 188 buyers.

Trims as it goes

The TruEdge trimmer is the point of this robot. It addresses the strip that every other mower here leaves, or reduces with a smaller disc.

Power and grass types

ECOVACS uses a 32V system and names Bermuda, Zoysia, Fescue and St. Augustine. The 1.2-inch minimum makes it the lowest cutter among robots here.

Doubts

The table’s 3.6-inch width looks like the maximum height entered in the wrong row. The rating of 3.9 is low for $2,000.

Safety

Keep children and pets off the lawn while a robot mower runs, and read the manual on slopes, edges and water. Slope figures are stated by the maker and depend on grip and ground.
