Wire-free navigation, area and slope · review
The smaller ECOVACS brings TruEdge to 1/4-acre lawns, with a narrow body for tight passages, at $1,500.
You keep the TruEdge trimmer of the A2000 and give up area. For most quarter-acre lawns, that is a good exchange at $500 less.
The listing stresses tight paths. Side yards are a real problem for bigger robots, but the listing has no passage width.
The table’s dimensions of 1.95 by 1.56 by 0.58 inches are not the real size of the mower.
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.

ECOVACS says it passes through tight paths but the bullets we read do not give a width. Measure the gate, then check the manual.
The listing describes AI vision and 3D ToF LiDAR for detecting and avoiding objects.
7.5/ 10
Better value than the A2000 for most lawns.
A small lawn with side-yard corridors.
