Owner reviews
A top-tier robot mower we recommend without hesitation
In our independent assessment, the Ecovacs Goat G1 earns 83/100 — an excellent robot mower.
Its strongest area is navigation (92/100), followed by slope handling (90/100). In practice, no boundary wire.
The main caveat is run time, where it scores 73/100. Specifically, beacon placement matters.
At €739, it sits below the typical price for the category — strong value. For most buyers in this category, it's one of the best choices you can make.

Do I need to install a boundary wire?
Older mowers use a perimeter wire; newer wire-free models use RTK-GPS and/or vision to map the lawn — check the navigation spec above.
Can it handle slopes?
Yes, up to the max-slope rating shown. All-wheel-drive models climb the steepest inclines; standard models handle gentler grades.
Is it safe around kids and pets?
Robot mowers have lift/tilt sensors and bumper stops that halt the blades instantly, plus PIN locks and theft alarms.
How big a lawn can it mow?
See the coverage spec. Most models cover their rated area on a single charge, then return to the dock to recharge and resume.
