Segway launched its new Navimow i Series robotic lawn mowers, including the hotly tipped Navimow i105N, just a few months back. I’ve reviewed a fair few robotic mowers in my time, and I had the feeling these new models could shake up TopTenReviews’ ranking of the best robot lawn mowers. So, I got straight in line to write a hands-on review.
One of the really interesting selling points of the i105N is that it works without a perimeter wire, relying instead upon a GPS antenna for navigation. That could mean a big improvement in setup time and flexibility—especially compared to alternative models where the perimeter wire has to be buried in a specially dug trench around the edge of the lawn. Clearly, ease of setup and accurate mowing were going to be key criteria in my review.
