Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
🤔 Basic decision-making aids
Question: Which robot is better suited for complex garden layouts with many obstacles?
Answer: The ECOVACS GOAT, with its AI-supported recognition of over 200 object types, offers clear advantages over the simpler sensor system of the Robolinho.
Question: How much time do I need to allow for installation?
Answer: With the ECOVACS GOAT it takes about 5 minutes for app setup and initial mapping, with the AL-KO Robolinho it takes between 2-5 hours for cable laying, depending on the size and complexity of the garden.
💡 Technical features
Question: How do the mowing systems of the two manufacturers differ?
Answer: The AL-KO Robolinho uses a double-cut system with mulching function for finer cutting, while ECOVACS relies on precise cutting patterns through superior navigation.
Question: Can I adjust the mowing times flexibly?
Answer: Both systems allow for schedules, but ECOVACS offers much more detailed and flexible customization options through app control.
🛠️ Maintenance and longevity
