Our take
ECOVACS GOAT O600
A very good-value RTK mower for open, straightforward gardens. Navigation, obstacle detection and the app are strong for the money; edge cutting and satellite performance around buildings or trees are the compromises.
Independent testing praises systematic mowing, quiet operation, clear app controls, camera obstacle detection and strong value.
Edge trimming is only average, dense tree/building cover can upset RTK positioning and the app includes promotional content.
Lawns suited to o-series navigation for small lawns.
Gardens outside its stated lawn-size, slope, positioning or boundary requirements.
- O-series navigation for small lawns
- App-managed systematic cutting
What reviewers found
Computer Bild found dependable mowing and a good app, with the main finishing work left at the lawn’s edges. Its favourable navigation findings make the strongest case for a property where the RTK antenna can obtain a clear signal.
Even cutting and useful controls
In repeated testing the O600 worked systematically, generally leaving an even finish with only occasional small tufts. The app made scheduling, exclusion areas and secondary lawns straightforward, and the reviewer appreciated access to the front camera.
[1]Edging remains conventional
The mower did not match the special trimming hardware fitted to more expensive Ecovacs models. Some borders still needed grass shears or a trimmer. The positive cutting result should therefore be understood as good coverage of the main lawn.
[1]Objects and installation
The test avoided a varied collection of placed objects, including shoes, a hose and a dummy leg. Installation was straightforward once the RTK antenna was positioned. These controlled results are useful but do not prove that every object or tree-shaded garden will behave the same way.
