“The ECOVACS GOAT O800 RTK is praised for its excellent price-performance ratio, being a robotic lawnmower without a boundary cable for under 1,000 euros. It is described as being very quick to set up and delivering good mowing results on the lawn. However, it showed weaknesses in mowing along edges, leaving a several-centimeter-wide strip. The review also notes that while it recognizes large obstacles well, smaller objects under 10 cm were not detected, though a future update is expected to fix this. Overall, it is considered a very good choice for those who prioritize value and can overlook the minor flaws.”

“The Ecovacs GOAT O800 RTK is highlighted as an exciting option for those seeking a modern, wireless robotic mower. Its navigation is described as well-thought-out, the setup is super easy thanks to automatic mapping, and the mowing result is very good. The review points out that the device is heavily dependent on a stable WLAN and antenna connection. It also mentions that the mower does not always work cleanly on lawn edges. Despite these points, it is considered a surprisingly good overall package for under 1,000 euros.”

“This video review tests the ECOVACS GOAT O800 RTK, a high-tech robotic mower with RTK navigation and LiDAR. The reviewer, Marvin, demonstrates the easy setup and app control, and the robot's precision in narrow passages and along lawn edges. The combination of AIVI 3D technology and a live camera for safety is highlighted. The review concludes with a purchase recommendation, noting the great mowing results and reliable object detection, which even recognized a small hedgehog.”

“In their test, Technik zu Hause.de awarded the ECOVACS GOAT O800 RTK a 'very good' (1.0) rating and named it a 'price tip'. The pros included the lack of a boundary wire, app control, reliable GPS navigation, good workmanship, automatic mapping, a clean mowing pattern, and obstacle detection. No cons were listed in the summary.”

“heimwerker-test.de calls the GOAT O800 RTK a 'great device,' noting that it clearly comes from a company with many years of experience in building robots. The mower is praised for its compact size, which allows it to handle narrow passages, and its advanced AI-supported technology for boundary-free operation and reliable obstacle detection. The review gives it an overall grade of 1.3 and a 'good - very good' price-performance ratio.”

“This review finds many parallels between the GOAT O800 RTK and the A1600 RTK, noting that it performs just as well with smart pathing and easy setup. A point of criticism is the hedgehog test, which it did not consistently pass, sometimes bumping into the model. The reviewer also mentions that while it avoids hard edges, it leaves about a 9 cm strip that needs to be mowed manually. The integrated camera can also be used for surveillance.”
