Segway i110N Robot Lawn Mower Perimeter Wire Free 1/4 Acre RTK+Vision Robotic Lawnmower, AI-Assisted Mapping, Virtual Boundary, APP Control, 58dB(A) Quite, Multi-Zone Management

Summary: After a few weeks, while not perfect (still working out a few kinks), I'm giving this 5 stars because it is very impressive and I am very optimistic that it will reach near full independence. For yard situations like mine or simpler, I would definitely recommend it. Value: I have a ~7500sqft (0.17 acre) yard. I paid over $1k for mowing in the last year, and that is definitely on the lower end of what I could have paid. Including accessories I had to procure (mountable antenna, and traction wheels, see below), I'm sure this will pay for itself in 2 years, which is before the 3 year warranty expires. I do need to use a string trimmer on a majority of the edges of my yard and a few islands, but that will only take ~12 minutes every week or two. Installation/setup: It's definitely very picky about where to place the antenna and station, but I found the antenna to be more picky. I strongly recommend the antenna mounting kit, or a DIY solution. The station wasn't happy for me under a small eave so I had to rethink where I wanted it, but it's working well on the south side of my house, touching the wall, with a pretty good view of the south. The app is pretty good and setup is pretty easy. Reliability: My yard is mostly very flat, with a few protruding roots, small slopes/crevices, and storm drains. I had to configure no-go zones for my roots but not a big issue, can trim afterward. My slopes, especially around the storm drains, definitely push the limits of the stock wheels. It mostly can recover smartly and still get the job done, but it slows it down considerable. I 3D printed some better traction wheels (can find models online) and that seems to largely fix the slope issues in my case. You could also buy the $100 traction wheels if you don't have access to a suitable 3D printer. It can get stuck in small crevices/dips in the yard, so you may need to put down a bit (like an inch) of dirt in a few areas to prevent that. I still haven't gotten it to do my entire yard without getting stuck, but I'm getting really close. It got 98% done yesterday and then got stuck on the curb twice, probably because I configured that edge to be a ride-on boundary. I think if I remap that zone to not be ride-on, it should be fine. It did trample over one of my plants slightly outside the boundary once, but it hasn't done that again. There wasn't an obvious transition from yard to bed so it probably thought it was just more yard. It can do my entire yard in one day during daylight, with an hour or two to spare, so a full quarter acre is likely pushing it for a single day unless you enable night mowing. But no reason it can't be done in two days. Performance: The yard looks quite nice when it's done, I like the small light tracks it leaves much more than big riding lawnmower tracks. It occasionally misses small portions of grass, but I have it doing the whole yard twice a week so it shouldn't be very noticeable. This lawnmower allows the grass to be cut much more frequently, which means smaller clippings, which is healthier for the grass and looks better too.

I've had this mower about a month, and in that time I've become more and more impressed by its performance. It does everything it promises! Let me tell you about it. The Navimow app allows me to map multiple regions of my yard that add up to a maximum of 1/4 acre. My property's mowable area is about 2/3 of that, so I haven't pushed that limit. It took me a few tries to get good at mapping - which can be a little frustrating, because I wanted it to be one-and-done. But once I understood how the mower uses the map, I would occasionally delete and remap a part of my yard, or adjust the map to tweak whatever it was I wanted to change. Here are things I tweaked to get better results: -Whether the border was a "don't cross the border" edge (the default edge type, shows up on the map as a solid line), or a "crossing the boundary is OK" edge (you have to toggle to this if you want it) - shows up on the map as a dotted line. You can switch between these two as often as you like as you create or adjust every region/map you want to mow! So there are places where I have a solid border so that mower doesn't overshoot it and get its hind wheels caught on a concrete rainspout trough or a particularly problematic exposed tree root, but a dotted border where the lawn meets the driveway or the sidewalk, so the mower can overshoot and make sure to capture all the edges. -Which directions the mower will use for its rows! I've got one region of my lawn where there are grooves in the ground where I think tree roots used to be, but rotted. the wheels of the Navimow will get stuck in the ruts and the 'nose' will run aground, and it can't free itself, when the mower is going in the same direction as the grooves. But when the mower is going at any other angle, it crosses the ruts with ease! So I edited that region of the map and told the mower to never use that particular orientation for aligning its rows, and now I haven't had to rescue the mower from getting stuck in one of those for weeks. I used the same trick to keep the mower from popping its rear wheels over the edge of the curb where it was getting stuck. Now it gets stuck there a lot less! When I bought the Navimow I knew I'd be asking a lot of it. The two challenges that I knew I'd be risking overwhelming it with are with steeper slopes, and with tree cover interfering with the GPS signal. I feel I have pushed each of these to the absolute limit, but it has worked out just fine. The steeper slopes situation, I simply avoided the reliably-too-steep regions when drawing my map, aware that I'd have to occasionally mow/whack those areas myself. but we're talking 5 minutes of effort every few weeks, and that's well worth it to me. As for the tree cover situation battling with the GPS signal, I was worried this was going to be a deal-breaker for me. I have tree cover over probably 95% of my property. I figured it there was going to be a problem, this would be it. Well I was able to plant the GPS receiver on the included pole at one corner of my garage where it happens to have a decent view of a small cone of the sky, and - amazingly - that's enough for it to navigate my entire lawn! I did have plans to mount the antenna to the ridge of my roof, where it would have a lot more sky visible (it would be able to see from straight-up to about 45-degrees in all directions) - but that hasn't proven to be necessary yet. I do not have great signal at all times in the current setup and there ARE times that the mower refuses to do certain things until the signal is better. That can be a little frustrating, but I understand that if I want to fix this problem it means getting up on my roof. So far I've decided patience is the more attractive option. Things it occasionally refuses to do until it has better GPS signal include: Adjusting the map, Relocating the power station on the map, and manually initiating mowing! Since I only have great GPS signal some of the time, I've set up a mowing schedule so that it can attack my front yard one day, my back yard the next day. Then I take a day or two off, then repeat the cycle - this way it mows my entire yard twice a week. This keeps things looking tidy, leaves enough clover for the local bunny rabbits to nibble on, and makes me feel like I'm getting my money's worth by having a lawn that looks constantly tended-to without me having to do much of anything at all. When adjusting my map regions I discovered that if one region overlaps another region, the mower software will try to join them into a single region. That was frustrating a couple times and I had to exit out and try again. NOTE: IF YOU EXIT OUT WITHOUT SAVING, EVEN IF IT HAS TOLD YOU YOU CAN NOT UNDO YOUR CHANGES, YOU CAN USUALLY RETURN TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE YOU STARTED! Make sure you save the map every time you successfully do something you're happy with. It would suck to have a later mistake force you to wipe out work you wanted to keep. So when I broke my back yard up into two halves, I made sure that the border type was the dotted-line "You can cross this border / overshoot" type of edge on both regions, and I made the edges as close to each other as I was able to without them touching... and voila! After it has mowed both halves of the back yard, you can't see that there is a dividing line anywhere in it. Another note about adjusting the map: you can add or subtract territory to/from an existing region of the map. The software makes the best guess as to the final shape of the map, given how it started out and what new border you drew... and it offers you two options to pick between. It calls them "A" and "B", and shows you in blue on the map what the final territory will look like depending on which one you pick. You can look at both of them before you say "Yes", and if neither suits you, you can exit out (look for the "X" in the upper left corner) and try again. When you're adding or subtracting area, you once again get the option of which kind of border, solid or dotted, you're picking. This has been fantastic for me as I saw how the mower did with my original borders, and I decided to change the boundary lines for better results. There are "DO NOT ENTER" zones you can draw around things like flower beds. In some of the tutorial materials they also show you drawing such a boundary around, say, a tree. From my experience - and this is just in my own yard, and I do not have mulch beds around my trees - don't bother. Just let the mower's obstacle identification take note of the obstruction and avoid it. I have had great results with this! The mower has occasionally gotten stuck on an exposed tree root while exploring the area around the tree, but I have watched it learn where the most problematic roots are and learn to avoid them. How? I'm not sure. I guess it remembers where it's gotten stuck in the past and just tries not to roll over that spot, in that direction. I've definitely seen the mower approach a root it's gotten hung up on in the past and approach it from a direction that it has figured out doesn't present a problem. It's pretty impressive! When setting the mower free in my yard for the first time (once I had drawn the geofencing maps), I had the urge to rescue it when it got caught on something. But I was able to hold back and give it the chance to use its programming to work its own way out of the situation. Occasionally it would alert me that it was stuck, but the majority of the time it would eventually figure out how to free itself. As time has gone on it's gotten better at freeing itself. I'm considering giving it spiked wheels to help with traction, but I don't know for sure whether I'm going to do that. When the mower does get stuck and needs to be rescued, you can tell it to resume either with the app or by pushing the RED --> OK --> MOW buttons on the unit itself (or RED --> OK --> HOME if you want to send it home). The instructions on the app tell you to hit the STOP button (that's the RED button) and then the "OK + MOW" or the "OK + HOME" buttons, which (to me) sounds like I'm supposed to push them at the same time. Nope, gotta do it in sequence, pretty quickly - like you're counting "1, 2, 3". Sometimes I forget which order and instead I'll hit RED --> MOW --> OK. One or the other works. There have been times that I've needed to pick it up and plop it down on the charging pad because it was too tired to get there on its own, but usually if it has battery left it'll do it on its own just fine. The photos show my mower in action. One's indicative of the amount of tree cover I have in pretty much all directions all over my property. As the mower sits on its charging pad throughout the day and also as it's mowing my lawn I'll watch the light on the mower vary between "Meh" and "Good" signal. When there's a scheduled mowing time, it'll start at that time. But if I tell it "Go mow region 3" and the signal is "Meh", it's not going to start until the signal improves. So be aware of that. It's got opinions. There are, however, reasons for those opinions. The video shows the mower attacking my front yard for the first time. You'll see that, in the process of avoiding trees, it misses areas of the yard. Later in the mow it did go back and get those areas before it finished - you can even look on the map on the mowing app and see, with surprising precision, where it has and hasn't mowed. I have noticed that it doesn't always get 100% of the region every time it mows. But because it's mowing a few times a week, I've also noticed that I don't notice it missed anything, and the next time it mows it usually catches it. If anything interesting changes I'll update my review, but all in all I have to say that I am absolutely thrilled that the mower is doing such a fine job. Summer where I live is horribly hot and humid, so not having to worry about this task is a great thing - and the mower cost less than paying a professional service or a neighborhood kid to mow for a year (kids are charging a lot now!), so it's also a financially good investment. Also a big conversation starter - a lot of folks want to stop and chat with me about it when they see me out front. I'm always happy to gush about it to them. NOTE: If you want worthwhile anti-theft, you have to buy the 4G module separately and install it, or at least get an AirTag type thingy and stick it somewhere so you can go find your mower if it's taken. But the mower is useless without its charging base and GPS maps, so if someone steals it it's no good to them. Happy not-mowing! UPDATE::: They made it even better. There are some steeper parts of my yard I simply excluded from the mowing maps and had to tend to myself in some other way - even though I knew that if the mower approached them from the right direction it would be able to do a fine job without getting mired. But while I can give it certain orientations to skip when mowing its rows, there's no way to get clever/detailed and tell it to always use this shallow path to go up to the top of this steep part but then mow the steep area only downhill, then loop around up the shallow path... If I was manually steering the mower, I was teaching it new boundaries, but to get it to *mow* them I had to tell it to go mow, and then it would do so using its own internal smarts. Well now I can manually drive the mower around while mowing! I can turn the cutting blade on and steer the mower around. It might look a little silly standing there in my yard holding my phone up to drive the mower, but I'm much happier doing this than having to get out my old push mower, or a weed wacker, or any of the other ways of cutting lawn that's too long. This is the #1 upgrade/capability I'd been wanting since I got to know my mower and its limitations, and now it's here! Ok. That's all. Just had to make sure you knew that this is now an available capability. It's fantastic!

I got the navimow i110n two days ago. The first day I set it up, mapped my lawn into three zones and did a test run in one zone. It worked well enough. I wasn't sure the map boundaries were precise enough for it to mow the edges but I figured I could refine that with time. Day 2, I waited for the grass to be dry from the overnight dew and it started a scheduled mow of the lawn. It went well enough, showed promise, until it found a small depression in the lawn where we use to have a basketball pole which had been removed and grass grown. It appeared to get stuck in the depression, dug a trench with one wheel (probably the left) as it tried to power its way out. The error messages on the app first reported error code 3109, then 1107, then 7102 and then settled into showing 3107 left wheel motor problem. I looked up the error on the navimow site, took the actions to clear the error, restart the mower, and the error just persisted. I then sent navimow customer support a message (as they suggested on their site), indicating what I had done and the serial number of the navimow. Navimow customer service responded at 2am my time (which is fine) asking me for the serial number and to look up the error number on their site and to follow its instructions (both of which I had already given them and told them I had done!). They did also want to know the exact time of the error which I was able to get from the app. I sent them all the information. Navimow's response to me, showing me they didn't read my initial e-mail, does not build my confidence. I'll give them a day or two to respond and unless they have a straight forward solution, I'll return the navimow to Amazon for a replacement to give it another try. I won't return it to Segway because I want a working navimow, not a repair of a navimow that broke on day two under normal usage. Update: It was taking Navimo about 24 hours to reply to each email. Eventually they said they would take it back and repair it, but I had already returned it. They don't seem to get that my lawn is growing while we have this leisurely discussion. Amazon didn't give me a 'replace' option, so I decided to give the Luba2 a try even though it was twice as expensive. If the Luba2 doesn't work out, I may try navimow again and hope I get one that works.

At first, I was hesitant about the reliability of an automower but after doing some research and reading product reviews it came up to my attention that people were saying good things about them so I ended up going for the Segway iSeries mower based on its ready-to-go GPS mapping technology. After doing a mental business case to convince myself that it was a good investment I bought it and put it to work. The quality of the materials is amazing and the simplicity of the installation too. The mapping is the most important thing to do but it is simple and fun, once it is made you can forget about mowing at least for the life of the Navimow mower. My lawn is not leveled so I noticed that the mower was getting stuck from now and then in certain areas when the mower entered those areas from certain angles, to solve this problem I specified a preferred mowing direction in these zones so the mower now enters to these areas from a direction that it does not get stuck. I was so satisfied with this product that I also purchased the extra-traction wheels to minimize problems of the mower getting stuck somewhere. For security reasons, I installed an airtag inside the compartment in which the anti-theft feature that is sold separately goes, this saved me some money and will notify me if the mower leaves my property. A concern I had before purchasing this product was that since the mower does not have a bag to dispose the grass I did not like the fact that the lawn was going to end up with all the cut grass but how it works is that you first need to cut the lawn to the desired height and the automower will just maintain that cut by cutting very tiny pieces of grass each time so you cannot perceive it in the lawn. What I love: the time it saves me, the use of high-quality technology and the fact that my lawn looks perfect every single day since the mower cuts it every two days. Before this mower, I was spending 4 hours three times a month cutting the grass so my lawn looked great only the first 3 days after mowing which is equal to a maximum of 9 days of the month, the rest of the days the lawn looked like it was in need of a cut and I was hearing my wife complaining very often that it was time to cut it. Now I have all that time back for myself and my lawn looks perfect all the time. In less than a year the automower will pay itself and most important it can cut the grass on a daily basis if preferred guaranteeing a perfect look always (365 days/year). What I did not like: My house and my neighbors' (in the south) are two-story and there are about 15 feet between them so I was not able to map-out the section between houses since my neighbor house is blocking the satellites so the mower was not able to trace this zone accurately so I decided to skip it. Eventually I will have to go back and keep trying with different approaches but that was something I noticed that did not work for me (still the benefits outweigh the negatives). Another aspect I did not like was that in order to trace channels to go from one zone to another you need that the zones have at least a perimeter of 1 meter around so I was not able to add channels to mow the tiny zones in the sidewalk. Also, I still have to trim the edges from now and then but compared to the 4 hours I was spending three times a month now I spend about 25 minutes. Lastly, sometimes when the mower gets stuck and one of the wheels is not in touch with a surface an error of "lifting" happens and the troubleshooting is to press the mow+ok buttons or home+ok bottons in the mower to continue mowing but normally these commands do not do anything, I have to either lift it and take it to the power station and it automatically reboots itself or keeping pressed the mow+ok buttons and it resets it but takes a couple of minutes to start working again. Overall, I recommend this product to everyone... my lawn looks always perfect and I do not have to deal with the hot weather of south Texas nor with my wife complaining about overgrown grass. Happy wife, happy life! I will try to update this review regarding the lifetime of the battery and the effect of the sun on the hardware appearance through time.
