The Best Robot Lawnmower in 2024 for Most Lawns: Navimow i Series Review 

Didn't factor in the chiropractor payments! 😬

That is awesome!

Sounds good.

@@Frostorm777 Yup…

You don’t get a new mower every year .

@@Slowhand871 Some do.

Honestly, it’s a minor inconvenience to move it from the front yard to the backyard. I really do love this thing! My lawn has never looked better!

Wow thanks for sharing that’s HORRIBLE.

Have you been happy with it so far?

You get it!

In the front yard, it stops if it can’t get to the back after trying for a bit and sends me a message that it’s stuck. I keep the base in the backyard… it’s a ton easier to have it be able to go and charge on its own.

Robot manicured.

Time will tell. The nice thing is it knows to go back and recharge when it's running low. On very cold days, it needs to charge more frequently. On nice days, it can do the entire yard on one charge and even if it needed a charge, it would do so on it's own.

@freshlycharged. I think he's asking about the lifespan of the battery before it has to be replaced.

3 acres! We're gonna need a bigger robot!

Directly from the website: Navimow Access+ For 4G connectivity and anti-theft. Ensures stable connection when the Wi-Fi network is poor. You can easily switch between Wi-Fi and 4G connection. To monitor your lawnmower in real time, enable the Anti-theft feature which is exclusively applicable under 4G connection. ...thus far it has not asked me to pay anything extra.

It’s a tough job, but we’re grateful we get to do this!

Ah just saw one of your comments on the same point. Checking out your Luba 2 review.

The Navimow is for small and medium sized yards. I would stay away from the H series. If you have a larger yard or some complex terrain, check out the AWD robot we just reviewed on the channel!

@@freshlycharged The Luba? hell no... On paper it looks awesome, and for some people it works great, but it is not a mature product. Every software update brings with it too much drama, tears and misery. You need to 3D print your own parts and remove the guards to prevent grass buildup under the mower and have the blades spin freely. It locks up too often requiring manual supervision, and when it loses power on a hill, there is no safety mechanism to prevent it rolling down and crashing into whatever is below. You don't get that with Husqvarna and other well known (and expensive) brands. The latest issue is that several European customers have been told to stop using it immediately by the agency controlling radio frequencies (ANFR in France), as the RTK station is violating European laws on the use of the 868 Mhz frequency band. No wonder Mammotion got so good RTK signal strength, as they use more than 50 times the amount of radio bandwidth they are allowed to according to EU laws. Going on holiday or leaving the house? Don't expect it to work many days, or even a single day without having to go rescue it. Sure, some users have more luck with it than others, I am not discounting that, but for instance my next project is to set up a mower at my parent's house which is over 2 hours by car away. They are too old to maintain and troubleshoot it themselves, and there is no way my mother is picking that thing up and cleaning it on the underside. I would not be able to fix most problems remotely, as after 10 minutes of being stuck, the mower just shuts off. The IPX6 rating is also pure BS. According to Mammotions own advice, it is IPX3 at best. I really wanted the Luba 2 to be great, but there are too many red flags with it.

@@freshlycharged I am curious, why do you think people should stay away from the H series? Genuinely interested to learn more about it. Not really sure how good the vision fence system is. I suspect we'll all going to have a little bit of buyers remorse no matter what we choose, as new models with more and more impressive specs and AI features come out each year. If someone here in Northern Europe sold the Sunseeker Orion X7 that could be interesting as well. At least it's three-wheel drive.

It happens. Life goes on. Thanks for the comment, always great to hear from you. Hope you are well!

Very good point!

For what it's worth, Amazon sells this and Asurion offers a 3 year extended warranty for $129. Seems like a no-brainer to grab that for a full 6 year warranty for something that most certainly won't last 6 years. Still, even if it lasts 4 years, $300 a year for a mowed lawn is cheap.

Um, Segway has been around since 1999, and doing Very well

What’s to repair , same as a gas mower , moving parts always wear out , here it’s a screw driver plug and play not a carb , worn cylinder rings bad gas spark plugs

Not really, Segway isn’t going under any time soon and as technology progresses it gets cheaper and more accessible this will probably be the norm at some point

RTK is not based upon line of sight from base / antenna to mower. Both the mower and antenna need to connect to satellites ( the same satellites ) RTK correction data ( which allows for greater accuracy due to use of fixed base station / antenna ) is passed from the antenna to the mower via radio signals typically 900MHZ which will pass through walls etc. The ability for both the antenna and mower to see as much of the sky as possible is much more important

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.

All good questions. Things were simpler 20 years ago and they certainly don't make things like they use to.

Also consider time=$ for most folks. That's time on weekends spent more with family, backlog of repairs, chores, etc. Mowing while out of town, huge win for folks that already pay someone to mow or mow themselves.

Googly eyes for sure!😂

Glad you enjoyed it

No problem! What kind of mower are you using?

On their website it says: Max. Slope: 30% ...Which means 16 degress.

Thanks for offering your testing spot!

@@freshlycharged Thanks for the reply! Hope to see you while out riding someday! Stay safe! 😃

Note that my front and backyard is separated by the house it self. It would have to travel around the house on a flat concrete pathway

Yes, you can add a channel around the house following a concrete path to get from one lawn to the other provided there are no kerbs / steps etc but if vehicles use that, just need to be careful it doesn't get drove over.

There's a setting to get it closer to the edge... but I end up having to trim the edges.

I think you can try the buried wire mower robot, you only need to spend a few hours in the first place to lay out the line, in the later you don't need to worry about it running problems! I bought anthbot, a lawn-mowing robot, which I set up in the first few hours and then controlled from my phone. Not only does it not mess up my lawn, it doesn't stop working due to lack of gps!! By the way, if the thread you bury is accidentally broken, it can also show the exact position on the app😁😁😁

What?

@@freshlycharged Just your channel is so amazing! Never would have known this existed. Keep up the good work!

You need wifi but if wifi is an issue, the Navimow Access+ accessory will give you stable 4G connection.

@freshlycharged Thank you so much for your response. I'm on the fence it's either the Navimow or the Luba I'm leaning more towards the the Luba its heavier and it won't flip over. I just got to make up my mind before summer because this summer it's going to be hot as hell. And thank you for your awesome videos God bless.

How so?
