Mowing the lawn during peak summer heat isn’t exactly a good idea, and definitely not how most of us want to spend our weekends. Add in the extra growth from recent rains, and you’re looking at quite a time and energy-consuming task. This is where a robot lawn mower can help, and right now, you can snag a powerful machine at a discount.
Right now, Amazon is being generous with a 15% discount on the Ecovacs Goat O1000 RTK robot lawn mower, bringing the price down to $850. It’s still an investment, but considering how it does the entire job for you, it’s worth the price. Just note that the discount might not last too long, so we recommend acting fast.
This machine comes with an advanced automated mapping system that generates a layout of your entire yard before getting to work. You can customize the map by adding or removing zones, splitting areas, and adjusting your mowing preferences directly from the app.

Mowing is consistent. Ecovacs Goat goes through your lawn in U-shaped patterns that ensure no spots are missed for you to deal with later. It cuts right up to the edges and also lets you set the cutting height anywhere between 1.2 and 3.1 inches. You won’t have to worry about obstacles either. The built-in 3D obstacle detection helps it avoid both pets and other small objects.
Got an uneven, hilly yard? This mower can move through spaces as narrow as 2.3 feet, and even climb slopes of up to 24 degrees. Once it finishes its job, you can give it a nice rinse to clean it up quickly, since it’s also IPX6 waterproof.
