Is the Ecovacs GOAT O1000 RTK worth it?
Yes — for most yards.
Satellite positioning means no boundary wire, it cuts close to edges and handles yards up to about a quarter acre. It needs a reasonably open view of the sky; dense tree cover can make it pause.
Only sold in the US. Switch country at the top to see prices and shops.
