Ecovacs Goat G1 is the perfect name for a robot lawn mower

Robot lawn mowing gets closer and closer to a set and forget reality. If the Goat is as good as its name this will be the one to beat.

Eat the grass: I missed this when it launched last year, but wanted to pay respect to the great name for a robot mower – the Goat. The Ecovacs Goat G1 does away with the need for wire boundaries and instead uses beacons to track lawn edges and promises a traditional neat lawn cutting motion instead of randomly driving around all day and hoping it eventually cuts everything. Plus nice bonuses like remote camera access. RRP is $2,999 with specials dropping it closer to $2,500 now and then.
