ECOVACS GOAT 0500 Panorama

It is my first robotic lawnmower but it had almost everything I had mentioned. No hassle with a wire, with the app it quickly learns the contours of your garden, the first time you drive it around with a virtual joystick and then it goes exploring itself. Things can go wrong with the first mowing sessions. In our case, a garden lamp with solar energy that only stood in front of flowers and shrubs was the victim. The object stood on a gray curb and looked like a small rock and was ground into chunks in the robotic lawnmower. I was amazed by the power of the mowing blades. Apart from this one incident, it is a wonderful device. It is always learning and does the work very quietly and efficiently. You fill in the planner in the app and it does the rest. Just brushing it off after mowing is sufficient. Nice that you can add the mowing session live in the app and you can follow live images from the camera yourself. He does need his time, a small 400 square meters takes at least 5 hours and sometimes he needs to recharge in between. Strange because this is not with every mowing. In any case I am very enthusiastic and think it is fantastic. The garden is quite complex and everything is mowed perfectly. The device looks sturdy, I hope to enjoy it for years.

Definitely not recommended. This robot still needs a lot of work. Navigation is useless. Robot never finds its charging location and permanently gets stuck in preset no-go zones. Forgets to mow half the garden because it thinks it is outside the perimeter. This O-series still needs a lot of improvement before it can compete with a robot with perimeter wire.

I am very happy with it so far only when the mower has an error like a bumper error you have to reset it on the device itself, not very handy when you are on holiday for example. The software could use some further development.
