What it does well

  • Cheapest current GOAT with dual LiDAR and the TruEdge trimmer
  • Rated for 1/4 acre and 45% (24°) slopes
  • Quiet main body at 61 dBA

What to watch for

  • Slow on bigger lots: 8.7-in deck, ~180 m²/h and 90-min runtime mean multi-charge sessions
  • Only ~1.2-in obstacle crossing, so twigs and soft ground can stop it
