Rock-solid positioning, even in tough yards.

The honest verdict

Worth it only if you have signal trouble under tree cover. Otherwise skip.

Reviews

What independent reviews say

Helps specifically when signal is the problem. Raising or relocating the antenna, or adding the maker's extension, can fix drop-outs; it does nothing if your yard already has a clear sky view.

Safety

What to watch for

Use your model's own reference station or approved mount. LiDAR/vision mowers (Ecovacs Goat G1) do not use one.

Accessories are add-ons for robot mowers, not the mower itself, and none replaces a mower. This page is informational only. Confirm compatibility and the current price with the manufacturer or seller before buying, and follow the maker's safety guidance when handling blades or servicing the mower.
