What reviewers said
ECOVACS GOAT O1200 LiDAR PRO
netzwelt (DE): Solid and comfortable; the LiDAR navigation and built-in edge trimmer impress, though the 22 cm deck is small for 1,200 m².
Dreame A2 1200
Basic Tutorials: Powerful, easy to set up and cuts right to the edges; obstacle detection can be over-cautious.
