Segway's Navimow Robotic Lawn Mowers Are Changing How We Think About Yard Care

Lawn mowing sucks. There's no elegant way to say it. You're out there on a Saturday morning, pushing a heavy machine in the heat, listening to an engine drone on for an hour while grass clippings stick to your shoes. Your back hurts. Your allergies flare up. And for what? So your grass looks neat for 72 hours before it needs cutting again.

Segway, the company famous for making self-balancing scooters (yes, the kind Steve Wozniak famously rode around), just announced something that could finally fix this problem. At CES 2026, they unveiled an entirely new generation of robotic lawn mowers under their Navimow brand. And I need to tell you straight up: this lineup is genuinely impressive.

This isn't about some gimmicky robot that mows your lawn once every six months. The new Navimow collection represents a serious engineering effort to solve real problems that have plagued robotic lawn mowers for years. We're talking about advanced navigation systems, all-wheel-drive capability, night-time operation, and a range of models that actually cover different yard sizes and budgets.

The timing matters too. Robotic lawn mower adoption has been climbing steadily, and homeowners are getting more sophisticated about what they expect from automation in their yards. This new lineup from Segway shows they've been listening to that demand.

Here's what you need to know about this announcement, why it matters, and what it could mean for how millions of people maintain their lawns over the next few years.

TL; DR

• Four distinct series: Navimow released X4 (premium), i 2 (everyday), and H2 (advanced navigation) lineups with multiple models per series
• Li DAR and AWD options: The i 2 series comes in both AWD and Li DAR variants, while the X4 features dual 180-watt motors handling 40-degree slopes
• Yard capacity range: Models handle properties from 0.15 acres to 1.5 acres, covering most residential needs
• Price point variety: Starting at
  $1,000** for the i 206 AWD up to **$
  3,000 for the X450 flagship model
• Pre-orders begin January 16: Both the i 2 AWD series and X4 series available for reservations

The majority of annual operating costs for a Navimow mower are attributed to electricity, followed by maintenance and blade replacements. Estimated data based on typical usage.

The Evolution of Robotic Lawn Mowing: Why Now?

Ten years ago, robotic lawn mowers were a novelty. They existed, sure, but they were expensive, unreliable, and honestly kind of slow. Most homeowners stuck with manual push mowers or riding mowers because the technology just wasn't there yet.

Then things started changing. Battery technology improved. Navigation systems got smarter. Sensor technology became affordable. Over the past five years, we've seen a genuine revolution in what robotic mowers can do.

The global robotic lawn mower market has been growing at roughly 12% annually, with forecasts suggesting it could reach $10 billion by 2030. That's not because everyone suddenly decided they love robots. It's because the technology finally works well enough to justify the cost.

Segway's entry into this space with Navimow actually goes back to 2022, but they've been relatively quiet compared to established players like Husqvarna's Automower line. This new announcement at CES 2026 suggests they're ready to compete seriously.

What's interesting is the portfolio approach. Rather than releasing one "best" model and hoping it fits everyone's needs, Navimow has created a tiered system. That's smart. It means someone with a tiny quarter-acre yard can get the features they need at a reasonable price, while someone with an acre and a half gets the premium treatment.

The market was ready for this. Homeowners are busier than ever. Time is the new luxury good. If you can automate a recurring chore that takes several hours per month, many people will pay for that convenience.

Understanding the X4 Series: Premium Performance for Larger Properties

Let's start with the flagship. The Navimow X4 series is built for people with serious lawn space. If your backyard looks more like a small park, this is where Segway puts its best technology.

The X4 comes in two models: the X450 for yards up to 1.5 acres and the X430 for properties up to 1 acre. That size range covers a lot of territory. These aren't tiny residential lots. These are the kinds of properties where a manual mowing session takes two to three hours, and you're genuinely exhausted afterward.

The headline feature here is the all-wheel-drive system. Most robotic mowers use some form of tracked or wheeled drive, but the engineering matters enormously. The X4's AWD system can handle slopes up to 40 degrees. For context, that's steep enough to make most people think twice about walking without holding onto something.

Why does slope handling matter? Backyards aren't flat. If you've got a yard with any kind of grade or hillside, a mower that can't handle slopes is basically useless for large portions of your property. The X4's capability here is genuinely significant.

Then there's the cutting system. The X4 features dual 180-watt cutting motors. That's double the cutting power of most competing models. In practical terms, it means the mower can handle thicker grass, tougher weeds, and faster cutting speeds without bogging down. The dual motor approach also provides redundancy: if one motor fails, you can still mow at reduced capacity.

Pricing is

The X4 series will be available for pre-order starting January 16, 2026. That's notable because it means early adopters can lock in pricing before these start shipping in volume.

The Navimow X450 offers greater yard coverage and a higher price, while both models share similar slope handling and cutting power capabilities.

The i 2 Series: The Workhorse for Everyday Yards

If the X4 is for people with sprawling properties, the i 2 series is for the rest of us. This is where Navimow is likely to see the most sales volume.

The i 2 comes in two distinct variants: AWD and Li DAR. That's an interesting strategic choice because it acknowledges that different yards need different approaches. Some properties need raw traction and power. Others need intelligence and precision navigation.

The i 2 AWD Variant

The AWD models use a three-wheel-drive system that can handle slopes up to 24 degrees. That's less than the X4, sure, but it's still respectable. For most suburban lawns, 24 degrees is more than sufficient. Most yards don't have dramatic elevation changes.

Where the i 2 AWD shines is in challenging terrain. The three-wheel-drive system is specifically designed for muddy or slippery ground. You know that spot in your yard that's perpetually damp? The mower can handle it.

Navimow offers two AWD models in the i 2 series:

The i 210 AWD handles yards up to a quarter-acre for $1,300. This is a solid mid-range option. A quarter-acre is about 10,890 square feet, which is larger than most suburban lots.

The i 206 AWD is the entry point at $1,000 and handles yards up to 0.15 acres (about 6,500 square feet). For apartments with larger patios or small suburban homes, this is genuinely useful.

Both models include features like obstacle detection, boundary-setting, and scheduled mowing. The real question is whether the $300 difference between the i 206 and i 210 makes sense for your property size.

The i 2 Li DAR Variant

Here's where things get genuinely interesting. The i 2 Li DAR model works completely differently from the AWD variant.

Li DAR stands for "Light Detection and Ranging." The mower shoots out 200,000 laser points per second to create a detailed three-dimensional map of your yard. It's the same technology that self-driving cars use to navigate highways. In a robotic mower, it solves a fundamental problem: traditional sensors can't see well enough at night.

The i 2 Li DAR can mow your lawn at night. That's not a gimmick. For homeowners in hot climates, night mowing means the grass isn't stressed by heat during cutting. In urban areas where noise might be an issue during the day, a quiet robot mowing at 2 AM is genuinely useful.

The Li DAR system creates a spatial map of your yard, allowing navigation around obstacles that regular sensors might miss. It's more intelligent. It's more efficient. It's also more expensive, which is why pricing hasn't been released yet for the i 215 Li DAR model (though it's likely in the

The i 2 Li DAR is rated for yards up to 0.37 acres. That's smaller than the i 210 AWD, which suggests the Li DAR technology works better on smaller, more complex properties rather than sprawling open lawns.

Both i 2 variants will be available for pre-order beginning January 16, 2026.

The H2 Series: Advanced Navigation Through Triple-Sensor Integration

The H2 series represents Navimow's most technologically advanced offering. Instead of choosing between navigation approaches, the H2 combines three different systems: Li DAR, Network RTK (Real-Time Kinematic positioning using satellite signals), and standard camera vision.

This triple-sensor approach is essentially the "see it from three different angles" philosophy. Li DAR handles spatial mapping. RTK provides GPS-level accuracy using ground-based reference stations. Cameras give visual context and can identify objects that Li DAR might miss.

Network RTK is particularly interesting. It's a positioning system that uses ground-based reference stations to correct GPS signals, providing accuracy down to a few centimeters rather than the several-meter accuracy of standard GPS. For a robotic mower, that means it can mow extremely precise patterns and return to the exact same path each time.

The combination is called "Li DAR+" by Navimow, suggesting it's their premium navigation package.

The H2 handles slopes up to 24 degrees and can cover yards up to half an acre. Two models are offered:

The H210 for yards up to 0.25 acres and the H220 for half-acre properties. Pricing hasn't been announced, but given the three-sensor approach, expect these to be in the premium range, likely

The H2 is most interesting for people with complex yards: properties with multiple lawn sections, winding paths, flower beds, pools, or other obstacles that require sophisticated navigation. It's also the best choice for anyone who wants the mower to mow in perfect, consistent patterns.

Pricing and availability for the H2 series haven't been announced yet. Segway is likely staggering the rollout to manage production and inventory.

The Technology Behind the Innovation: What Makes These Mowers Different

Once you get past the marketing language, what's actually innovative about the Navimow lineup?

First, there's the motor technology. The dual 180-watt motors in the X4 represent a significant power upgrade over previous generation models. More power means better cutting performance and faster mowing times. In testing conditions, dual-motor systems typically reduce mowing time by 20-30% compared to single-motor equivalents.

Second, there's the sensor diversity. Rather than betting everything on one navigation approach, Navimow has built flexibility into their lineup. Some models use traction as their primary tool (AWD), some use Li DAR for intelligence, some use GPS precision, and some use all three. That's good product design.

Third, there's the battery strategy. We don't have detailed specs yet, but modern robotic mowers typically use lithium-ion packs with 15-25 k Wh capacity for larger models. Charge times have dropped from 8-10 hours to 4-6 hours on recent designs. The mowers can also return to their charging dock autonomously when battery runs low, then resume mowing automatically.

Fourth, there's the design philosophy around slopes and traction. The X4's AWD system and the i 2's three-wheel approach both suggest Navimow spent time thinking about real-world yard conditions rather than just idealized flat lawns. Most commercial products are designed for average conditions. Navimow seems to be designing for difficult conditions and letting easy ones be a bonus.

Comparing Navimow to the Competition

How does this stack up against existing robotic mower options? The market is dominated by Husqvarna's Automower line, which has been around for decades and commands a significant share of the premium market.

Husqvarna's Automower models range from about

What Navimow has going for it is pricing. For equivalent features, Navimow models tend to be

Navimow also has portfolio breadth. They're not asking consumers to choose one model. They're offering genuine differentiation based on what your yard actually needs.

Other competitors include Bosch (Indego series), Stiga (sold globally), and various Chinese manufacturers flooding Amazon with budget options under $500. The Navimow lineup sits firmly in the "serious consumer technology" space rather than the "cheap gadget" tier.

The key competitive advantage Navimow is pursuing is "Chinese manufacturing efficiency." Segway has decades of experience manufacturing consumer electronics at scale. That manufacturing advantage translates to lower prices without sacrificing quality.

Pricing Strategy: Is This Actually Affordable?

Let's be honest: even the $1,000 entry price isn't impulse-purchase territory for most homeowners. But context matters.

The average homeowner spends 4 to 6 hours per month mowing their lawn during growing season (roughly 6 months per year). That's 24 to 36 hours annually. At

Do the math: the i 206 AWD at $1,000 pays for itself in time savings in less than a year. After that, you're essentially getting free lawn mowing for the next 7-10 years (typical lifespan of a robotic mower).

But there are other costs to consider. You might need to install boundary wires or purchase a docking station. Blade replacement happens every 2-3 months and costs

Over a 10-year period, rough math suggests the total cost of ownership is:

i 206 AWD scenario:

• Purchase: $1,000
• Installation/setup: $100-200
• Blade replacements (40+ over 10 years): $800-1,000
• Repairs and maintenance: $400-800
• Total: ~$2,300-3,000

Divided across 10 years, that's

Compare that to hiring a lawn care service:

The math works. Robotic mowers only make sense if you value your own time, but if you do, the ROI is actually pretty solid.

Installation and Setup: What to Expect

One thing marketing materials often gloss over is installation complexity. Robotic mowers typically require:

1. Boundary wire installation: You need to define where the mower can and can't go. This usually involves laying a wire around your property perimeter and garden beds. For a typical quarter-acre lot, this takes 1-2 hours of labor. Some people hire professionals (add $200-400), others DIY.

2. Charging dock placement: You need a level spot with weather protection. This isn't difficult but requires planning.

3. Initial mapping: The mower needs to learn your yard layout. First run typically involves supervised operation.

4. Obstacle training: You teach the mower where trees, patios, and other obstacles are located.

Total setup time: 3-5 hours for DIY, 1-2 hours if you hire professionals.

The Navimow models with better navigation (especially Li DAR and RTK) reduce this complexity somewhat because they don't rely as heavily on boundary wire perfection. The i 2 Li DAR and H2 can work with less precise boundaries because they map your yard in real-time.

The global robotic lawn mower market is projected to grow from

Battery Technology and Runtime Expectations

Robotic mower battery capacity typically ranges from 8 to 25 k Wh depending on model size. The X4 series, being the largest, likely uses 20-25 k Wh packs. The smaller models probably use 10-15 k Wh.

Runtime on a charge depends on grass thickness, cutting height, and terrain difficulty. Typical estimates:

• Easy conditions (flat, thin grass): 3-4 hours per charge
• Normal conditions (slight slopes, medium grass): 2-2.5 hours per charge
• Difficult conditions (steep slopes, thick grass): 1-1.5 hours per charge

For a 0.5-acre lawn mowed weekly, a single charge usually isn't sufficient. But mowers return to the dock automatically, charge in 4-6 hours, then resume mowing. You can set them to mow daily or multiple times per week in shorter sessions.

Segway hasn't released detailed battery specifications yet, but expect the X4 to support 8+ hour operating time daily when charged overnight.

Maintenance Requirements: The Unsexy Reality

Manufacturers love talking about how robots eliminate the drudgery of lawn care. They're less enthusiastic about maintenance requirements.

Robotic mowers do require maintenance:

• Blade replacement: Every 8-12 weeks of mowing (roughly 2-3 months). Cost: $20-50 per set.
• Wheel/track inspection: Monthly, check for damage.
• Dock cleaning: Quarterly, clear debris from sensors.
• Software updates: Several per year.
• Winter storage: Battery should be removed and stored indoors in cold climates.
• Cable inspection: Boundary wires can degrade or get damaged by weather.

This isn't burdensome compared to traditional mower maintenance (oil changes, air filter replacement, fuel stabilization), but it's not "set and forget" either.

Navi mow's app should manage most of this with reminders and diagnostics.

The Role of AI and Automation in Yard Maintenance

While Navimow hasn't emphasized AI heavily in these announcements, the underlying navigation and decision-making systems rely on machine learning and adaptive algorithms.

The mowers learn your yard over time. They get better at predicting where obstacles are. They optimize mowing patterns based on where grass grows fastest. They adapt their schedule based on weather and growth rates.

This is the direction the whole category is moving. Future generations will likely include:

• Predictive scheduling: AI predicts ideal mowing times based on weather, temperature, and growth projections.
• Weed identification: Cameras identify and avoid or preferentially mow weeds.
• Health monitoring: Sensors detect lawn diseases or pests and alert you.
• Water integration: Coordination with smart irrigation systems for optimal lawn health.

Segway has the technical foundation to add these features via software updates. It's not clear from the CES announcement which of these capabilities are included.

The robotic mower has a lower annual cost (

Safety Considerations: Why This Matters More Than You Think

Robotic mowers operating unsupervised raise genuine safety questions. What happens if a child or pet gets too close? What if the mower encounters something unexpected?

Navimow's models presumably include:

• Ultrasonic/IR sensors: Detect approaching objects and slow down or stop.
• Obstacle detection: Li DAR and camera systems identify obstacles before collision.
• Automatic shutoff: Tilt sensors detect if the mower is lifted (picked up) and stop blades immediately.
• Geofencing: Boundary systems keep the mower contained to mapped areas.
• Noise limits: Operating within safe decibel ranges (typically under 75 d B).

These features are industry-standard, but not all manufacturers implement them equally well. Segway's experience with autonomous vehicles (they make self-balancing scooters, after all) suggests they've thought seriously about safety.

Still, any yard tool operating autonomously requires user education. Parents need to ensure children understand not to play near the mower. Pet owners need to supervise outdoor time.

Environmental Impact: The Cleaner Alternative

Robotic mowers are inherently more environmentally friendly than gas-powered mowers. This matters more than it might seem.

Gas-powered lawn mowers produce significant emissions. The EPA estimates that running a typical gas mower for one hour produces emissions equivalent to driving a car roughly 100 miles. Over a lawn care season, that adds up quickly.

Electric mowers eliminate these direct emissions. And if your electricity comes from renewable sources (increasingly common), the environmental impact drops dramatically.

Navimow doesn't market this angle heavily, but it's an interesting secondary benefit for environmentally conscious consumers.

There's also the noise benefit. Robotic mowers operate quietly, usually around 60-70 d B. That's equivalent to background music or a conversation. Traditional gas mowers operate at 85-90 d B, loud enough to damage hearing with prolonged exposure.

For neighborhoods with sound ordinances or residents who work from home, quiet operation is genuinely valuable.

Warranty, Support, and Long-Term Reliability

Segway hasn't released detailed warranty information in the CES announcement. This matters because robotic mowers are expensive enough that warranty coverage significantly affects the purchase decision.

Typical warranty structures in this market:

• 2-3 years on the mower chassis and electronics
• 1 year on the battery (batteries often have separate, more limited warranties)
• 6-12 months on wear items like blades and wheels
• Accidental damage typically not covered

Longer warranties (3+ years) are uncommon but available from some manufacturers. Segway's service track record with other Navimow models will be a factor in choosing a warranty.

Support infrastructure also matters. Can you get repairs locally or must you ship the unit back? Are replacement parts readily available? Is there a good user community for troubleshooting?

Segway is large enough to handle support properly, but this should be confirmed before purchasing.

The i210 AWD handles larger areas and costs more than the i206 AWD, but both manage slopes up to 24 degrees. Estimated data for LiDAR variant not included.

The Competitive Landscape: Market Positioning

Segway is entering a market with established players, but there's room for disruption. The robotic lawn mower market is fragmented with no single dominant player globally.

In North America, Husqvarna leads. In Europe, Stihl and Bosch have strong positions. In Asia, local brands have significant market share.

Navimow's positioning seems to be: "Better technology, comparable features, lower prices." That's a formula that works if they can execute on manufacturing and support.

The 2026 CES announcement suggests they're ready to scale. Pre-orders beginning January 16 indicate supply chain and manufacturing are in place. Segway has experience bringing products to market at scale—they've been manufacturing millions of scooters and other mobility devices for years.

The real question is support and reputation. Husqvarna has 70+ years of lawn equipment experience. Segway has essentially zero in lawn care. That's a hurdle, but not an insurmountable one if they execute properly.

Future Roadmap: What's Coming Next

While Segway hasn't announced future models, the trajectory is clear. Each generation of robotic mower technology gets:

• Larger yard coverage (current max is 1.5 acres, but 3+ acre models are inevitable)
• Longer battery life (moving toward all-day operation on single charge)
• Better AI/autonomy (less boundary setup required, better learning)
• More integration (with smart home systems, lawn care services, weather data)
• Lower costs (as manufacturing scales and technology matures)

In 5 years, expect:

• Models handling 3+ acre properties
• Full autonomous boundary detection without wire installation
• Integration with smart irrigation and lawn fertilization systems
• AI that learns your lawn preferences and adapts automatically
• Prices 20-30% lower than current models (in real dollars)

Navimow appears positioned to participate in this evolution.

Implementation Strategy: How to Choose the Right Model for Your Yard

Choosing between Navimow models isn't complicated once you understand your yard characteristics:

Choose the i 206 AWD ($1,000) if:

• Your yard is under 0.15 acres
• You have modest slope (under 20 degrees)
• You want the lowest entry price
• Your yard is relatively simple (few obstacles)

Choose the i 210 AWD ($1,300) if:

• Your yard is 0.15-0.25 acres
• You want three-wheel traction for wet/muddy conditions
• You need moderate slope handling
• You prefer established AWD technology

Choose the i 2 Li DAR if:

• Your yard is up to 0.37 acres
• You want night-time mowing capability
• You have a complex yard layout (multiple sections, many obstacles)
• You want the most intelligent navigation
• You're willing to pay a premium

Choose the H2 ($2,000-2,500 estimate) if:

• Your yard is up to 0.5 acres
• You want the absolute best navigation and precision
• You want GPS-level accuracy in mowing patterns
• You have multiple distinct lawn areas

Choose the X4 if:

• Your yard exceeds 0.5 acres
• You have significant slopes
• You need serious cutting power
• You want the premium experience

Most suburban homes fall into the i 2 range ($1,000-1,500). X4 is for the minority with large properties.

Cost-Benefit Analysis: The Real ROI Calculation

Let's move beyond rough estimates and think rigorously about ROI.

Your true cost of a robotic mower includes:

For the i 206 AWD over 8 years:

• Purchase: $1,000
• Installation: $150 (half DIY, half professional help)
• Blades (every 10 weeks, 40 cycles): $600
• Repairs/maintenance: $400
• Electricity (daily mowing, 90W average over 4 hours = 0.36 k Wh/day,
  $0.15/k Wh):$
  200/year x 8 = $1,600
• Total: ~$3,750

Benefit side:

• Your time: 40 hours annually x
  $50/hour =$
  2,000/year x 8 = $16,000
• Avoided equipment costs: Push mower, trimmer maintenance =
  $300/year =$
  2,400 total
• Environmental benefit: Hard to quantify, but significant

Net ROI: ~$15,000 over 8 years, or roughly 4x return on investment.

That math assumes you value your time at $50/hour. If your time is worth more, ROI is even better. If you value your time at less, the math is less compelling.

For someone making $100k+ annually, lawn mowing is definitionally a bad use of time. For a retired person with abundant free time, it's less clear.

Final Thoughts: Why This Announcement Matters

Segway's Navimow announcement at CES 2026 doesn't seem revolutionary on the surface. It's just robotic lawn mowers with slightly better specs and slightly lower prices.

But zoom out and the significance becomes clearer. We're watching the automation of household maintenance reach mainstream affordability. Robotic mowers aren't exotic anymore. They're becoming the default choice for anyone who can afford them.

In 5-10 years, not having a robotic mower will be like not having a dishwasher. It'll seem quaint.

Navimow's role in this transition is important. They're a serious player with manufacturing scale, backing from a major company, and a product portfolio that actually addresses different customer needs. That combination creates credibility.

For homeowners, the message is clear: if you hate mowing and you have the budget, now is genuinely a good time to switch. The technology works, the prices are reasonable, and the time savings are real.

The lawn care industry is changing. Segway's latest announcement shows just how serious that change has become.

FAQ

What is a robotic lawn mower and how does it differ from traditional mowers?

A robotic lawn mower is an autonomous device that mows your lawn without human operation. Unlike traditional push or riding mowers requiring direct control, robotic mowers work independently, returning to charging docks when needed. They use sensors, GPS, or Li DAR for navigation and can be programmed to mow on a schedule, typically several times per week in shorter sessions rather than one long mowing per week.

How does the AWD system work in Navimow mowers?

Navimow's all-wheel-drive systems use multiple motors to independently power different wheels or tracks, providing better traction and slope capability. The X4 series AWD can handle slopes up to 40 degrees, while the i 2 series uses a three-wheel-drive design optimized for muddy or slippery terrain. AWD technology allows mowers to operate on hillside yards that would challenge traditional wheeled or tracked designs.

What is Li DAR and why is it important for robotic mowers?

Li DAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser sensors firing 200,000 points per second to create detailed three-dimensional maps of your yard. This enables mowers to navigate with precision, work in darkness, and avoid obstacles more effectively than traditional sensors. Li DAR-equipped mowers can mow at night, which reduces grass stress in hot climates and solves noise concerns in residential areas.

How much does it cost to operate a Navimow mower annually?

Operating costs include blade replacements roughly every 10 weeks at

How long does it take to install a Navimow robotic mower?

Basic installation typically takes 2-4 hours including boundary wire placement, dock positioning, and initial mapping setup. Some users hire professionals for boundary installation, adding $200-400 to the cost. The mower then requires supervised operation and obstacle training during the first 2-3 sessions before autonomous operation can be enabled.

Can robotic mowers handle sloped or hilly yards?

Yes, but capability varies by model. The X4 series handles slopes up to 40 degrees, the H2 and i 2 series up to 24 degrees, making them suitable for most residential slopes. However, extreme slopes (over 40 degrees) may exceed even premium models' capabilities. Testing on your yard's steepest slope before purchase is recommended to ensure adequate performance.

What maintenance does a Navimow mower require?

Regular maintenance includes blade replacement every 8-12 weeks, monthly wheel and track inspection, quarterly dock and sensor cleaning, and software updates. Winter storage requires battery removal and indoor storage in cold climates. This maintenance schedule is less demanding than gas mower upkeep but requires consistent attention for optimal performance.

Is it safe to have a robotic mower operating unsupervised?

Navimow mowers include multiple safety features including obstacle detection sensors, automatic blade shutoff if lifted, geofencing to contain operation area, and noise limits around 60-70 d B. However, proper supervision and user education are essential, particularly for homes with children or pets. The mower should not be left operating in unsupervised conditions with people or animals present.

How does Navimow compare to Husqvarna Automower in terms of price and features?

Navimow typically offers 20-30% lower pricing than comparable Husqvarna models while maintaining similar feature sets. A Navimow i 210 AWD at

When can I pre-order Navimow mowers and what is the expected delivery timeline?

Pre-orders for the i 2 AWD series and X4 series begin January 16, 2026. Expected delivery typically follows 4-8 weeks after pre-order placement for popular models. The H2 series pricing and availability have not yet been announced. Segway typically provides estimated ship dates during the pre-order process.

What is Network RTK and how does it improve mowing accuracy?

Network RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) uses ground-based reference stations to correct GPS signals, providing centimeter-level accuracy instead of the several-meter accuracy of standard GPS. In the H2 series, this enables precise mowing patterns and consistent blade alignment. RTK technology requires local reference station infrastructure and is most valuable for users wanting perfect, repeatable mowing patterns.

Recommended Next Steps

If you're interested in exploring robotic lawn mower options, start by measuring your yard accurately. Understand your lawn's slope characteristics, identify obstacles like pools or flower beds, and assess your soil conditions (wet, dry, rocky, etc.). This information guides which Navimow series best matches your needs.

Next, research extended warranty options and local support availability. Contact Navimow customer service to confirm RTK coverage in your area if you're considering H2 models, and verify boundary wire installation services available locally.

Finally, consider waiting until February or March 2026 to read early reviews of these new models in real-world conditions. The CES announcement is exciting, but actual user feedback will reveal how these mowers perform in diverse yards and climates.
