My yard isn’t easy to setup for a robot mower. I’ve got a few shaded spots under trees, a wall along one side, and one small section that sits partly under the roof overhang. I’ve been looking at lidar models because I don’t want to deal with boundary wire, and I'm not sure how well RKT would behave around the covered/shaded parts of the yard. But I might also be overthinking it.

For anyone with trees, walls, or awkward covered corners, what setup did you end up using? I'm currently comparing a few lidar models, like Husqvarna, Goat, LUBA. Any thoughts?

I've been using an ecovacs robot vacuum for a couple years and I love it. So when I started looking into robot mowers, I wanted to stick with the same brand.

Does a robot mower do obstacle avoidance at the same level as a good robot vac? If one product works well, the rest probably isn't far off, right?

Anyone here using both from the same brand and can share what the real-world difference is like?
