The A2500 and O1000 share the GOAT family name but solve different property problems. O1000 is the compact small-yard option; A2500 is built for higher throughput and a larger mowing area.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| ECOVACS GOAT A2500 RTK | Fast premium mowing on medium-large lawns | Recommended up to 5/8 acre | RTK + 3D-ToF + AI camera | 50% (27°) |

Choose O1000 for small or constrained lawns
