ECOVACS GOAT O800 RTK Robot Lawnmower 800㎡, Wire free, Lidar-Enhanced RTK+Vision Navigation, Pass 0.7m path, Auto Mapping, Customizable Mowing, Edge Presicion Mowing, 45% Slope Climbing

Upgraded from a wired mower, and this has been a genuine step up in convenience. No boundary wires, reliable app control even at long range, and consistent cut quality. It handles my 770 m² lawn well, especially when split into zones — which also makes mowing more practical when rain is forecast. ⸻ Setup & Mapping Avoiding boundary wire installation was the main reason I upgraded, and this mower has lived up to that promise. • Tip: Start with a temporary layout for the charging station and satellite receiver. Move them until you get the best signal coverage, then finalise. • Mapping the lawn through the app is straightforward and well guided. It took me two tries to get a perfect outline, but once set, the mower follows it reliably. ⸻ Performance in the Garden My lawn is around 770 m², close to the rated maximum. In full automatic mode, a complete mow takes about 11 hours and three partial charges (15% → 80%). Splitting the lawn into smaller zones noticeably improves efficiency between charges. It’s also ideal when rain is forecast, letting you complete the garden in manageable sections rather than risking an unfinished full mow. Battery capacity is strong: a 200 m² zone per charge is achievable. The cut pattern is consistent, the finish tidy, and the mower reliably returns to base for charging. • App control: Works perfectly, even at the far end of the garden — no connection issues. • Edge cutting trick: Run the boundary close to a firm edge (like paving stones) for a tighter, cleaner cut along borders. ⸻ Build & Design The mower feels robust, the docking station is weather-ready, and the overall design shows thoughtful engineering. The app is responsive and stable, and firmware updates have installed smoothly, adding confidence for long-term support. ⸻ Pros & Cons Pros • Wire-free boundary setup saves hours of work • Reliable app control and mapping • Handles large lawns with zone splitting • Consistent cut quality • Solid battery performance Cons – Full automatic mow on max lawn size still takes most of a day – Mapping requires a little trial and error – Edging depends on careful boundary placement ⸻ Verdict A strong choice for anyone wanting a capable, wire-free robotic mower that can manage a large garden with minimal fuss. With a bit of setup tweaking, it delivers excellent results and removes the hassle of boundary wires entirely. ⸻ Update Log • [3 months in]: Still cutting reliably; no issues with app range or mapping drift. Battery performance consistent.

I really did my research and thought this was a good investment. I was wrong to be honest. I should have paid more for the mammotion. The mapping is terrible. You CANNOT edit the map at all. Only no go areas. My issue is we scan the lawn and then a 1 meter edge of the left side of the lawn just disappears. I had to move the base to fix this. The cats sit on top of the machine and the emergency stop button presses and it won’t do anything until I go outside and manually reset. There should be a remote e stop release. The stripes are inconsistent. Even on edge mode it leaves at the very least 20cm around the edge of my garden. The base needs moving again as it cannot be in a corner of a garden (I am aware of that but last time it was not and it missed that 1 meter patch) , it must be in the middle. It gets stuck all the time. The wheels get caked in mud and they’re difficult to clean. It chews my lawn up with its totally nonsensical twisting and turning. And this tiny lawn uses 75 percent of the battery. It’s a joke to be fair. Get the mammotion

These are getting better, this would work for 90% of uk gardens, the goat is a determined robot. I have tried two before this costing more money and this wins hands down. where other robots tipped or went on uneven ground they would stop, this stopped bleeped and took another route. Don’t get me wrong this would tip up. See videos of my lawn if very steep and uneven but managed it. Negatives 1. Did not ship with uk plug, so could not waterproof and adaptor and plug in a weather box. 2. it wanted to auto join areas together. These areas I had mapped avoiding areas but then joined together to waste the effort. Instead it wanted you to route areas to exclude, but these areas are tricky to route around, if you get one error you have to start again, normally tricky areas are prone to error. 3. I build a bridge to join to lawns over a stream twice as wide as robot, but each time it did a pirouette on the middle of the bridge so could not trust it. It made it across 1 out of 3 times. Advantages 1. Determined; it would try different angles if struggled 2. Cutting stripes could be chosen 3. Speed could be set 4. Mapping was easy, but needs app to be better to support drawing areas/ excluding areas

I was sceptical that a robot could manage my quote complex garden but the ecovac has convince me. Setting the perimeter was remarkably easy and I was able to creat two zones. The key point is that is navigates around obstacles within the perimeter with intelligence and means I don't have to tell it to avoid furniture, trees etc. I am surprised how fast the battery drains however and charging is slow. I note aftermarket larger capacity batteries @5500 are available. App also good and pretty easy to use. Overall I think the product is good for the price and I am satisfied.

What a shame. The initial experience was really good. Product seemed well made and was well packaged. Setup was straightforward. We have a small, relatively simple lawn and the automapping functionality was good, with one or two small sections where I needed to take over and do a bit of manual steering before allowing it to continue in auto-mode. The mower then mowed a number of times during the week, and did a great job. It didn't get stuck or head off into the flowerbeds once and we were pretty impressed. Then we were woken up in the middle of the night by it beeping away in its garage. Couldn't stop it that night (after undocking/redocking etc.). Factory reset didn't fix it the following day either. From what I could see it seemed to be connecting/disconnecting to the charging station continuously (for no reason we could figure out). I spoke to Ecovacs UK customer support who just said 'return it via Amazon' - no attempt to diagnose and fix the problem, no mention of an exchange. All a bit disappointing from a customer service point of view I'm afraid. The mower has now been returned for a refund. Whilst I was impressed with the camera only approach (no wire, no RTk antenna) hence the three stars, I'm not sure I'd recommend this device given it developed a fault within 7 days and the manufacturer didn't make too much effort to keep me as a customer.

Please dont waste your money on this expensive heap of useless technology. It has failed 99% of the times it has been sent to mow. I must have to re-map its area on a daily basis as it just doesnt stick to the boundary and continiously gets stuck and has to be rescued. There are now great trenches in my lawn where it suddenly stops, spins on its wheels round and round, grinding out the lawn. Service desk is not particularly helpful with suggestions mostly consists of 'try remapping the area!' What again?!

Excellent mower. Purchased this one as they all look the same to me but this is a Which? Best Buy. I have 130 sq m lawn with some steep slopes. Handles it with ease. Cant see any grass clippings once its done either. Recommend.

I bought this product on the strength of a Which? magazine Best Buy. I think the product itself is well made and certainly has the power to power up and down my grassed bank. However, I have to question whether Which? ever made an assessment of after-sales support to give this unit a Best Buy. I believe the UK support telephone number is re-routed to somewhere in the Far East because my experience of dealing with customer support from this part of the world is that they sound as if they are talking under water and therefore very difficult to understand. Email support is available but it takes far too long for them to respond. I do not think that three working days is asking too much but it is for this company. They do not have the right tech support in place for a UK buyer and setting this product is not as simple as buying a couple of batteries for a torch. When this does not work, you need immediate support because the grass doesn't wait for you. I think Which? has a lot to answer for.

Funciona perfecto lo unico que no tiene es zonas y caminos a las zonas, se tiene que tratar todo el jardin como una sola zona incluyendo areas de pavimento o tierra para pasar de unos trozos de jardin a otros, hay que tener rampas si hay desniveles en el camino

After some months, it starts to hallucinate. Even though the map is correct, it does not follow it and is completely lost. I’d like to return it.

This delivery was made by Amazon UK - hence it took some weeks to arrive to Germany. This robot is amazing and saved my life. It learns automatically, adjustable zones just perfect. The one star less results become the charging cable was not included. However amazing Germany provided a voucher to purchase one

Ho acquistato il "garage" per il mio GOAT 600. In realtà la base ed il robot possono stare sotto la pioggia ma avendo pagato non poco il mio robottino ho preferito preservarlo al meglio da sole, grandine e sporcizia che può arrivare anche dalla siepe vicina. É fatto molto bene, robusto, ed ovviamente essendo originale si adatta alla perfezione alla base di ricarica. Non é proprio economico ma lo consiglio vivamente. Ed é anche esteticamente gradevole.

très bel article en harmonie avec le robot
