3 months ago I set up the ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO in my friend's yard in Florida and told you it fixed the biggest problem with robot lawn mowers. Now I'm checking back in. She's been living with it every single day since. I also have one running here in Michigan on a bigger, more complex yard. Here's the real long term verdict from both of us.

WHAT WE COVER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• 3 months of real ownership from an actual homeowner -- not a tech reviewer
• How much time she was spending on lawn care without realizing it
• Neighbor reactions after 3 months of watching it run
• TruEdge trimmer long term -- is she still doing any manual edging?
• The mental load of lawn care and what life looks like without it
• Michigan yard update -- bricks, siding, rocks, street edges and one charge to cut it all
• Why I don't want another robot mower without LiDAR
• Automatic vs manual mapping -- when each one makes sense
• The math on lawn service vs owning this mower
• The neighbor situation (yes I'm cutting her lawn too and getting paid in food)
