$2,500 Robot Mower vs My Actual Yard - Honest Results After 30 Years in Home Tech

I spent $2,500 of my own money on the ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO — the first robot mower with a built-in side trimmer. No sponsorship, no free product, no paid promo. After putting it to work on my real yard, here's my completely honest review. With nearly 30 years in construction, new home sales, and smart home tech, I've tested a lot of home tech — including a previous robot mower from another brand that never even completed setup. So when I tell you whether the GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO is worth $2,500, you're getting it from someone who's actually used the gear. In this video I cover unboxing, setup, mapping, mowing performance, the trimmer, the ECOVACS HOME app, what it gets right, and where it falls short.
