Having dominated the Australian home for almost a decade now with robot vacuum cleaners Ecovacs is doubling down on the rest of the Aussie home with new products for outside the house.
Launching in August will be four products across three categories, Lawn, Pool and Windows.
“We know how much Aussies cherish their outdoor lifestyle, but the hard work of maintaining a beautiful backyard can eat into precious weekend time,” says Karen Powell, ECOVACS Regional Director of Australia and New Zealand.
“Our new home and outdoor range is engineered to take on these demanding chores – mowing, window cleaning and pool scrubbing – autonomously.
We’re not just launching products; we’re giving people back their time to actually enjoy their home and garden.
Whether it’s having a spontaneous BBQ on a perfectly manicured lawn, enjoying a crystal-clear view of the garden, or diving into a sparkling clean pool, ECOVACS is making effortless outdoor living a reality.”
ECOVACS GOAT – Robot Lawn Mower
Three years ago ECOVACS launched the Goat G1 in Australia, their first Robot Lawn Mower. Since then there have been improvements and new models globally, but only now does the company feel their latest products are the step up and improvement needed for Aussie homes.
My review Goat G1 (Garry) has been trundling around my backyard for those full three years, working well – until a new and improved model appeared a few weeks ago to replace him. A full review of “George” soon here at EFTM.
First of the two new models is the ECOVACS Goat O600 which uses “RTK” (Stands for Real-Time Kinematic – which is a more precise tech combining GPS and other sensors). This RTK allows it to map and navigate without any wire in the ground or advanced LiDaR sensors.
It will retail for $1,299 and is for smaller and narrow areas and pure “mowing”
While the big brother – the ECOVACS Goat A2000 has a dual LiDAR system and a $2,999 price tag. This requires no wires, no beacons, no GPS and just works.
A critical stand out feature of the A2000 is the line trimmer – a built-in whipper snipper! That means, for the first time, your Robot Lawn Mower can do the edges too!!
Both have excellent power to ensure their blades can cut through tough Aussie lawns.
Pool Cleaning UltraMarine robot from ECOVACS
A hugely successful category for several brands, Ecovacs is challenging the early players with a pool cleaner.
The Ultramarine P1 has 18,200 LPH Suction, with a dual filter debris collector.
With three hours run-time you’ll get the whole pool done, using ECOVACS’ SmartNavi “intelligent navication” for up to 99% coverage, including the waters edge.
The Ultramarine P1 features four spinning scrubbers in addition to the tank like tracks to move it around.
Available August 4, it’s coming to Australia at a sharp price of just $999.
Windows – done – outside capable WINBOT W3
The final piece of the pie takes ECOVACS successful window cleaner technology and takes it outside. To do this, the strong and powerful cleaner is now part of a whole ecosystem to keep itself clean too.
Your Winbot comes with an OMNI station to take the wash pads off the robot and wash them, ready for their next use after just 60 seconds.
That new Winbot W3 OMNI will cost $1,299
