Instead of complaining, let's try and be constructive. Suggestions for Ecovacs to make fixes or add features. I will start.

Model: Firmware:

Suggestion:

Model: A2000 LiDAR Por Firmware: 1.8.20

Suggestion:

Ok, so I have a list of suggestions/fixes

  1. When mapping, and there is no wifi signal(larger yards), then use phone's data so the Robot does not show offline.

  2. Remove Auto merge, and ask us if we want to merge the two areas. As of now, get too close to a fence, and boom, it merges the maps. Now the unit thinks the two areas can be connected, when in fact they can not.

  3. Allow us to adjust closeness of no-go zones or boundaries.

  4. Allow adding no go zones on the fly. For instance, while mowing, robot gets stuck, allow us to add a no go zone right then and there. this will save countless hours during setup.

  5. Allow us to trim around no go zones, either in selectively trimming or full boundary.

  6. Improve Sandy soil logic.

  7. Allow a one time override of Rain sensor, and waiting. My sprinklers in Zone C(where Sir Cuts A Lot is docked) may run for 5 minutes, to fill the bird bath, but I need it to cut Zone F. Currently I have to turn the Rain Sensor feature off, then run robot, then remember to turn it back on again after cutting.

  8. When stuck, or on sandy soil, lift mowing deck when turning. Maybe allow us to designate areas by types of surface.

These are off the top of my head, I know I have more, but these seemed most important to me.

What are you suggestions for a 1/2 acre(smaller rating can be done, as front and back yards are less than a 1/4 acre each. It HAS to be able to handle Sandy Loam patches, and the unit should have obstacle avoidance as palm frawns occasionally drop, and dogs we will be present at times.
