Thanks to ECOVACS for supporting my channel by sponsoring this video.
After years of watching robot mowers at CES and IFA but assuming they couldn't handle my uneven, weed-prone lawn full of kids' toys and a playground, I finally found one that looked up to the challenge: the ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO. In this sponsored video, I put it to the test on my not-so-perfect yard to see if its HoloScope dual LiDAR navigation, AIVI 3D obstacle avoidance, and true edge trimmer could actually replace hiring someone to mow. Spoiler: as a longtime skeptic, I came away pleasantly surprised at how well it handled the obstacles, uneven ground, and weeds without me having to think about it.

![I upgraded to Philips Hue Bridge Pro - SHOULD YOU?
Philips Hue has a new bridge that boosts your lighting performance and offers a cool new trick, but is it worth the upgrade? Also, I want to tell you about some challenges I had with moving to the new bridge in Apple Home.
