Ecovacs GOAT A2000 LiDAR PRO vs Ecovacs GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO

The Ecovacs GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO for a lawn up to three quarters of an acre, thanks to its larger rating, longer runtime and optional GPS tracking. The Ecovacs GOAT A2000 LiDAR PRO is the better value for a half-acre lawn, where the same LiDAR navigation and TruEdge trimming come for less and recharge faster.

Lawn size and tracking. The Ecovacs GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO is rated for 32,670 sq ft and can add GPS and 4G with an optional module, while the Ecovacs GOAT A2000 LiDAR PRO is rated for 21,780 sq ft and has no GPS path at all. They share the same 12.99 in deck and dual LiDAR navigation.

Neither needs a perimeter wire or an RTK antenna. Both map with dual LiDAR, a 360 degree rotating scanner plus a 3D time-of-flight sensor, and AI vision obstacle avoidance, with multi-zone maps and no-go zones.

No. Neither is all-wheel drive, so both suit reasonably even ground. The Ecovacs GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO is rear-wheel drive with 4 cm of obstacle crossing, and the Ecovacs GOAT A2000 LiDAR PRO is rated for the same 50% slope. Steep banks, ruts and soft edges are where a 4WD mower does better.

Owners of a half-acre, obstacle-filled or tree-covered lawn who want antenna-free LiDAR mowing and border trimming for less, and who do not need satellite tracking or more than 150 minutes of runtime.

Anyone with a lawn up to three quarters of an acre who wants the longer runtime, the larger rating and the option of GPS tracking and mobile data through a cellular module, at a premium price and with the same one-year warranty.
