Ecovacs GOAT G1 VS Robomow RK1000

*New model to be released soon*

Ecovacs, the prominent Chinese company known for its innovative robotic vacuum cleaners, has now introduced an exciting new product to the market - the Goat G1 robotic lawnmower. This advanced machine is designed to provide users with a convenient and efficient solution for mowing lawns extending up to 1600 square feet, and best of all, it does not require a buried wire to operate smoothly. However, using the Goat G1 requires a base station and navigation beacons, which can be purchased separately to enhance the user experience.

Goat G1 is equipped with advanced sensor technology and smart features that enable smooth navigation and help it avoid obstacles on the lawn. It is designed to mow the grass efficiently and safely. In addition, the Goat G1 has an added advantage - it can also be used as a surveillance camera, giving you even more use and versatility from the same device.

While the concept of the navigation beacons is a smart solution to help the Goat G1 aim and guide itself on the lawn, it is important to note that the mowing quality at edges and obstacles may not be entirely perfect. Nevertheless, the Goat G1 is an exciting innovation from Ecovacs and a promising solution for mowing larger areas without the requirement of a buried wire. With its advanced features and ability to act as a surveillance camera, the Goat G1 has the potential to be a valuable addition to your gardening tool collection.

The Robomow RK1000 is a reliable robotic lawnmower designed to give your lawn the perfect trim no matter the situation. It has a unique feature with its patented mowing system that allows it to mow all the way to the edges of the lawn, ensuring that your entire lawn always looks well-mowed. This robotic lawnmower is ideal for medium-sized gardens extending up to 1,000 square feet.

The Robomow RK1000 offers an impressive range of user-friendly features that result in excellent cutting results. You can easily program up to four secondary zones or starting points, and even two separate zones, either via the intuitive app or the handy touchscreen on the device itself. This gives you complete control over how your lawn is mowed and which areas to prioritize.

Outstanding is that the RK1000 can cut the grass with a cutting height as high as 100mm, the highest mowing height in our test. It is equipped with a brushless DC motor and a pendulum-suspended mowing unit with offset blades, which allows it to cope with uneven terrain and deliver an evenly mowed lawn. Its ability to handle slopes of up to 45% thanks to its optimized wheels that provide maximum grip makes it a versatile robotic lawnmower.

One of the best characteristics of the RK1000 is its quiet operation. You will hardly hear that it is in work, which means that it does not bother you or your neighbors during the mowing. Robomow is a reliable company originating in Israel and they offer a wide range of robotic lawnmowers suitable for different types of lawns. The RK1000 is an entry-level model that offers easy and efficient mowing and is particularly useful for medium-sized gardens.

The purchase of the RK1000 includes 200 metres of cable and small plastic sticks used to mark where the robotic lawnmower is allowed to drive. Equipped with powerful and durable wheels, it has a stylish design that allows it to move smoothly around the garden.

Robomow has developed a user-friendly mobile app that allows you to easily schedule the clipping or manually send the robot off for work. Note, however, that the RK1000 is not equipped with GPS or cellular connectivity, but uses Bluetooth to communicate with your mobile phone. A slight drawback is that you need to be relatively close to the clipper to get notifications from it, meaning you won't be informed if it gets stuck or runs into trouble while you're at work or on vacation. Trotts this, the Robomow RK1000 is a reliable and efficient robotic lawnmower that will keep your lawn well-mowed and well-groomed.
