This is a really good price for a recently released wireless automower.
If you're paying someone to mow your lawn for you, it really does pay itself back over a few short years.
Looking at the other boundary wire free offerings I don't think you can get anything cheaper than this apart from possibly the Segway navimow once the low capacity version comes to Australia.

This is partially true. Husqvarna has been dominant in the field for over a decade, and only in the last year or two have Chinese smarthome/robovac companies joined the mix. This has somewhat coincided with the advances in technology drifting down from the robovac space allowing boundary wire free operation.
While the Chinese products pose a better price:feature ratio than the Husqvarna incumbents, the barrier to entry for a wireless automower is still extremely high ($2000 for the Goat G1 now being the lowest to date) and should still come down ove the next few years.
Interestingly though I remember xiaomi's roborock flagship S5 frequently being sold for $500 in 2020 and now their flagship product is $2500, so who really knows which way prices will go as technology develops?
Finally something worth putting in my perfectly spotless and empty truck bed.
Mammotion Luba 2 looks even cooler
They really named that thing right "goat" 😆
Can this use 10% code?
No, but you can use the $10 welcome code. You can use the 10% code on the additional beacons (if you need extra).
is this the original G1 that doesn't support multi-zone or the new G1-1600 that supports multi-zones management?
I can't tell from JB's website but judging from the discount, I'd guess JB's trying to clear old stock and hence an older version?
Or I can be totally wrong and they are the same product and multi-zone was enabled via a software update? Appreciate someone who owns the original GOAT-G1 can provide answers
I was watching a lawn care video on YouTube that caught my eye, and the guy used something like this on a really hot day. One of the use cases for this thing. It is I can only imagine the price to reach something like 600 dollars eventually, which makes a bit more sense.
Actually, I think it was a remote controlled one, not an auto mower.
