How to read these numbers. Every specification here was taken from the product's own Amazon page on 2026-08-21 and normalised into the same units. A dash means the manufacturer does not publish that figure — we never estimate one to fill a table. We do not republish prices at all: Amazon changes them daily, so each mower shows the bracket we place it in and you tap through for the live figure.

Not published by the manufacturer on this listing: slope, runtime, noise, weight. Those rows show a dash rather than a guess.

Our verdict

LiDAR instead of a satellite antenna means no sky to worry about, and the TruEdge trimmer deals with the borders most robot mowers leave fringed. At 33% off, the best-value ECOVACS here.

In depth

This model drops the RTK antenna entirely and navigates by 3D LiDAR plus AI vision. That makes it immune to the satellite-signal problems that plague wire-free mowers under trees or beside tall buildings. The built-in TruEdge trimmer cuts right up to driveways and fence lines, which is the one job almost every robot mower fails at.

What works

  • No antenna and no wire — nothing to install
  • LiDAR works under tree cover where RTK fails
  • Built-in edge trimmer for clean borders
  • Usually well below list

What doesn't

  • Manufacturer does not publish a gradient rating
  • Quarter-acre limit
  • Review count is shared across ECOVACS variants

Buy it if

A shaded or enclosed quarter-acre lawn where satellite navigation would struggle.

Look elsewhere if

Large open lawns, where a satellite mower covers ground faster.

Common questions

Will it handle my lawn size?

This model is rated to 0.25 acre. Manufacturer coverage figures assume dry grass, daily mowing and a reasonably open shape — take off roughly 15% for a lawn with trees, narrow passages or a wet climate.

How steep a slope can it manage?

The manufacturer does not publish a gradient rating for this model. Treat any real slope as unproven and check with the seller before buying for one.

What does setup involve?

Boundary type: Wire-free (no antenna). No perimeter wire. The lawn is mapped from the app, which typically takes an afternoon including placing the antenna.

How often do the blades need replacing?

Roughly every four to six weeks of daily mowing. Dull blades tear grass instead of cutting it, which is the usual cause of brown tips. Replacement blades for this model cost a few dollars a set.

Replacement blades and mounts for this model are on our accessories page.
