Ecovacs GOAT O1000 RTK
The GOAT O1000 RTK proves a capable wire-free mower doesn't have to cost $1,500. RTK navigation with camera and 3D depth sensing, edge cutting and a 45% slope rating cover most small, open lawns. Its short runtime and 8,600 sq ft limit are the trade-offs.

Limits
A 4,000 mAh battery gives about 65 minutes of mowing and takes about 100 minutes to recharge, so the mower covers roughly 1,500 to 1,900 sq ft per hour. Ecovacs lists coverage as both a quarter acre and 8,600 sq ft; we'd plan around the smaller figure. The boundary slope limit is 17%.
Price
List price is $999.99. During October 2026 sales it dropped to $664, and Care Kit bundles with extra blades are common.
This review is based on Ecovacs's published specifications, independent coverage and owner reports, compared against the other mowers we track. We'll add hands-on results as our testing progresses.
Questions
Is it truly wire-free?
