Replacement mowing discs for Ecovacs GOAT. The O and G1 series share a mowing unit, while the newer A series with RTK uses a different one—the letter before the number determines it.
Ecovacs has been established in the floor-cleaning robot market for years and brought the GOAT series to the garden in 2023. The first approach did without an RTK antenna: the O and G1 models navigate using camera-based guidance and map the garden visually. The newer A series also relies on RTK and covers larger areas.
This generation boundary is crucial when purchasing replacement parts and is regularly overlooked because the model names are similarly structured.

Mix-up of O and A models
GOAT O500 and GOAT A1600 blades look like they belong to the same family, but they are not. The letter before the number decides. Second identifying feature: If you have an RTK antenna in your garden, you have an A model.
Old spare parts stock after model change
If you switch from an O model to the A series, you can no longer use existing mowing discs. If you have two devices in the household, it’s worth labeling the discs—they look similar enough to be confused.
Imbalance caused by a mowing disc that isn’t seated properly
A mowing disc that doesn’t lock in correctly transfers vibration to the motor bearing. After installation, always rotate it by hand and check for smooth, free running.
