Map your property once, and the ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO turns into one of the best set-it-and-forget-it mowers we’ve used. It lays down clean, aesthetic lines with almost no effort on our part, and the dual-disc cutting deck chews through grass fast. The headline feature is TrueEdge, an integrated trimmer that’s supposed to handle the edges no robot mower can normally reach—and to its credit, it gets closer than anything else we’ve tested. But it doesn’t fully eliminate the manual string trimming we were hoping to leave behind.
