Just in time for the start of the mowing season, the CHIP Store is introducing a new product for your garden: the Ecovacs GOAT O600 RTK. The robotic lawnmower is aimed at owners of small to medium-sized gardens, even those with a lot of corners, who prefer to have their lawn cared for automatically instead of having to regularly turn on the lawnmower themselves.

The GOAT O600 RTK is the smaller sister of the Ecovacs top model GOAT O800 RTK, which has already been tested in detail in the CHIP test center. Technically, both devices are closely related – with similar navigation and obstacle detection, but optimized for different area sizes. Only recently on the market – now cheaper for 100 euros; now for Best price of 549 euros Save in the CHIP Store. Additionally there is one more Free blade set worth 15 euros in addition.

Ecovacs GOAT O600 RTK: Designed for gardens up to 600 m²

The Ecovacs GOAT O600 RTK is for complex cut gardens with an area of ​​up to 600 square meters designed. According to the manufacturer, the robotic lawnmower achieves a mowing performance of around 100 m² per hour and masters gradients of up to 45 percent – this means it can also cope well with slopes. Particularly practical on winding properties: the O600 RTK navigates through them Passages up to 70 centimeters wide and ensures a clean edge finish thanks to special edge detection.

The robotic lawnmower uses a combination RTK navigation and AI-powered camerato travel through the garden in a structured manner, lane by lane. Features like TruEdge (for edge cutting) and TrueMapping 2.0 Multi-Fusion RTK navigation are intended to help you achieve as complete coverage of the lawn as possible – without you having to lay a classic boundary wire in the garden.

The most important product highlights at a glance

• For lawns up to 600 m²
• Mowing performance: around 100 m²/h
• navigation: TrueMapping 2.0 Multi-Fusion RTK with AI camera
• Edge cut: TruEdge for even edges
• climbing ability: up to 45% – suitable for light to medium slopes
• Maneuverability: drives through narrow spaces that are only 70 cm wide
• AIVI obstacle avoidance for detecting and avoiding objects
• Wireless setup without laid boundary cable
• App control Includes remote control mode and remote monitoring

Precisely because no boundary wire is necessary, the GOAT O600 RTK is particularly interesting for anyone who doesn’t want to run wires through their garden – for example in newly planted or frequently redesigned lawns.

Fast, wireless setup via app

Instead of laying wires, the robotic lawnmower maps your lawn using RTK technology and the integrated camera. Once the map has been created, you can customize it in the app, define zones or set restricted areas. According to the manufacturer, the GOAT O600 RTK is round 15 minutes Ready for use – a significant time advantage compared to classic robotic lawnmowers with boundary cables.

You can also use the app to control:

• Mowing times: Decide when the robot should drive – for example when you are not at home.
• Zones & Areas: Determine which areas are mown and how often.
• Remote control: Use the robot manually if necessary, for example in problem areas.
• surveillance: Keep an eye on the condition of your lawn and the robot’s activities.

In the CHIP Store the GOAT O600 RTK is available as Bundle with replacement blades offered – practical, as the blades are the most important wearing part of a robotic lawnmower and should be changed regularly.

The CHIP test center: This is how the larger sister model performed

The GOAT O600 RTK is technically close to that Ecovacs GOAT O800 RTK related, which has already been tested extensively in the CHIP test center and given the grade “Good (2.3)” was evaluated. The larger robotic lawnmower was impressive in the test modern RTK navigation, AI-supported obstacle detectionquiet operation and strong mowing performance for areas up to 800 square meters.

The strengths of the tested model included:

• Reliable obstacle detection through AI and camera
• Quiet operation (around 57 dB in the test) – pleasant for you and the neighbors
• Decent mowing performance for medium-sized properties
• Solid battery life with structured rail navigation

However, an important weak point was also addressed in the test report: The automatic area mapping was not always precise in scenarios with unclear boundaries. Without clearly visible edges, the system captured the lawn area too inaccurately. Only when targeted in the app Exclusion zones were defined, the operation functioned reliably.

Since the GOAT O600 RTK uses the same navigation philosophy, it stands to reason that it behaves similarly when mapping. One is correspondingly important careful setup the map – especially around danger areas such as light wells, ponds or stairs.

Differences between GOAT O600 RTK and O800 RTK

The GOAT O600 RTK is deliberately a little more compact and tailored to smaller gardens. According to the available specifications and manufacturer information, there are the following differences to the tested O800:

• Maximum area:
  • O600 RTK: up to 600 m²
  • O800 RTK: up to 800 m²
• cutting width:
  • O600 RTK: slightly lower – therefore slower, but more maneuverable
  • O800 RTK: wider cutting surface, faster on large areas
• Battery capacity & runtime:
  • O600 RTK: smaller capacity, optimized for smaller gardens
  • O800 RTK: in the test around 107 minutes of mowing time, approx. 131 minutes of charging time
• Sensors:
  • O600 RTK without 3D ToF sensorbut quieter and better for narrow passages
  • O800 RTK with extensive sensors, including for the live camera

In everyday life this means: The O600 RTK is on Efficient maintenance of smaller, winding gardens trimmed, while the O800 RTK is aimed more at larger, clearly defined areas of up to 800 m².

This makes the 0600 RTK your ideal companion if you have a small, uncomplicated garden with little to no trees that can interfere with the robot’s signal.

Who is the GOAT O600 RTK particularly suitable for?

The Ecovacs GOAT O600 RTK is particularly suitable for garden owners who:

• a Lawn up to 600 m² have,
• oneself smart, largely autonomous mowing operation wish,
• you don’t want to run a boundary wire through your garden,
• winding or winding layouts with narrow passages,
• on quiet operation value,
• are willing to take a few minutes for one careful app setup gain weight.

Especially on small, complex properties, the combination of RTK navigation, AI camera and driving patterns close to edges can make the difference – the robot uses the area as fully as possible without constantly bumping into anything.

Conclusion: Smart lawn care with CHIP partner offer

The Ecovacs GOAT O600 RTK brings many of the strengths of the larger sister model evaluated in the CHIP test into a class for smaller gardens: modern RTK navigation, AI-supported obstacle detection, wireless setup and complex edge navigation for clean edges.

In combination with that Bundle of robotic lawnmower and replacement blades in the CHIP Store you will receive a well thought-out package for the coming gardening season. Anyone who is willing to invest a little time in mapping and exclusion zones when setting up will get a comfortable helper that keeps the lawn in shape largely independently and at the same time works significantly quieter and more comfortably than a classic petrol mower.
