Shopping for a new lawn mower? The segway Navimow i series is a robot ai mower that mows on its own and returns to its charger by itself. It mows so you don't have to.

Could this be the best mower of 2024? What I will say is the segway navimow i series 105 was very easy to setup and program. It took me a total of 10 minutes to set it up and complete the programming.
The segway navimow i105 came with an antenna system called EFLS that tracks the robot mowers location. I found it was very accurate. When visibility to the mower was blocked by trees the on board camera system called vision did a great job keeping the mower out of areas that the mower could possibly get stuck.
It comes equiped with obstacle avoidance programmed in and did a great job staying away from obstacles that were 4" tall or higher.
The i series comes in two models. the 1/8th of an acre model and a 1/4 acre model. The american version comes with a height of cut that ranges from 2" to 3.6" . This was a large request by americans. Mostly because we like to keep our grass long since we mow one time per week on average.

@zali9745 2 ай бұрын

I've got the same concerns. I've been using the Worx Lanroid WR155 which handles tall cutting heights (I think up to 4"), but it does use a perimeter wire. The wire breaks underground in a few spots every couple of years so replacing it is kind of an ongoing maintenance thing. It's not often but when it happens it's annoying enough for me to consider the newer models that don't need a perimeter wire.

Nice review. One question. Can you comment on the Segway requirement to install the base station at least 2m from building and/or trees and/or edge? This to me is a major drawback. Do I have to lay electric wires in the middle of my lawn? Thank you.

@PestandLawnGinja Ай бұрын

I've tested this and 1m away from the building is common because the machine itself needs to have line of sight to the sky for coordinates in your yard. I imagine 2 meters is recommended to keep them in the clear but i've been fine as long as it has clear line of sight to the sky. hope that helps.

@Will-2BMorePositive 26 күн бұрын

I have the Luba 2 that uses a RTK/Antenna. I don't know if you tested that one and could do a comparison. Luba is amazing and all wheel drive (AWD)...you didn't mention how to do height adjustments unless I missed it, Luba also allows multiple zones that can overlap as you finish mapping, Luba 2 app gives you options you can set for different patterns of cutting along with angles to cut, and Luba allows you to watch your cutting process using the camera on the Luba 2 rather than attaching a go-pro to record the use. You never mentioned if you can use the camera for your own use. You never mentioned if you can change the cut height from the app either. Seems line Luba 2 is better *BUT* the latest firmware ruined the RTK signal for the Luba2 when it tries to cut the front of my house. It gives me a poor positioning error that pauses cutting. It says it was only 5% into the cutting process. I'll never finish cutting the front of my house using Luba 2 on their latest firmware (1.11.511.376). I can also manually mow using the bluetooth connection but need to walk behind the Luba 2 if I want to do that. I might as well buy a self propelled mower and do it myself. I'm sure the Navimow RTK/Antenna is just as sketchy with the signal since your video seems to show your unit way out in the yard. I'll buy this one but I'm 100% positive it'll be returned too. I'll keep buying and returning until an RTK becomes local to the actual device like a Kress mower (currently commercial use only). I'm spoiled with the features for Luba...but they need to work out the kinks, like allowing 2 RTK connections.

I’m in Texas where it’s warm, and have st. Augustine grass that I mow at about 3.5”. My sprinklers are set to run on odd numbered days (Rachio 3). I do have three English bulldogs and they tend to leave presents all over. The boys also seem to compete at marking things in the yard. How well do you think the navimow will handle the weather and presents? I’ve only seen the mower used on thin bladed grass and also want to know if it would handle st. Augustine grass. I didn’t see a garage option on segways site, so how well will handle our heat and possible dog marking.

Have you tried the H series? I just ordered one as it was on offer for almost the same price as the I series inclusive vision fence. But I have a little doubt whether I should have chosen the I series, H should be better quality, but it's no use if it runs worse and I come from Worx which always gets stuck when the lawn is just a little soft or there is a very small hill, then the wheel spins, so I wanted a new one that I wouldn't have to deal with every day.

I was torn between Kress and Husqvarna. Husqvarna EPOS would have had problems in my area and I was told to buy two of their boundary mowers. I said I'm not buying two mowers to keep in the front and back yard. Husqvarna EPOS mower needs an 8-16 ft corridor to transition from my backyard to my front lawn. A Kress mower could follow the walkway and driveway between my back and front lawn. But their network is horrific. This is exactly what I needed. It mows to 3.6 inches for my tall fescue lawn. I won't have to pay $5K-$6K either like I would have for Husqvarna/Kress.

@PestandLawnGinja 2 ай бұрын

so far its been a great machine. just keep in mind even at 3.6" you'll be programming the machine to mow 4x to 6x per week. they're all meant to take a little off the top. you can still mow your fescue at 2" without any issues if you'd prefer. but if you love the long look you'll be happy.

@@PestandLawnGinja 1. You're not supposed to mow your lawn everyday. At least not TTTF. Even with a robotic mower it's a bad idea. You're going to create ruts in your lawn, especially if you're watering it properly. Husqvarna tires are designed to be gentle on a lawn. I can't speak for the tread on the Segway Navimow. 2. Tall fescue should NEVER be mowed down to 2 inches unless you're overseeding in the fall or spring. You mow to 2 inches ONCE which will prevent the grass from shading out the seeds after they germinate. 3. I didn't see any mowing lines on your lawn.
