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, cutting height range. Those rows show a dash rather than a guess.

Our verdict

The 'Care' bundle is the interesting part: 36 blades is roughly three years of replacements, and the antenna extension cable fixes the problem most wire-free owners hit in week one.

In depth

Mechanically this is ECOVACS' entry RTK mower — satellite positioning, no perimeter wire, systematic parallel passes rather than random bouncing. What sets the Care version apart is the box: 36 additional blades, and an RTK extension cable that lets you mount the antenna where it actually sees sky. Blades dull every four to six weeks, so the spares have real value.

What works

  • 36 spare blades included — years of replacements
  • RTK extension cable solves poor antenna placement
  • No perimeter wire to bury
  • Systematic mowing pattern, not random

What doesn't

  • No obstacle avoidance — the lawn has to be clear
  • 62 dB is on the loud side for early-morning mowing
  • Heavy at 44.5 lbs for a quarter-acre machine

Buy it if

A quarter-acre open lawn where you want the running costs covered up front.

Look elsewhere if

Gardens where toys, hoses or furniture are regularly left out.

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 (app mapping). 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.
