Do you know how it will work in the fall when leaves are on the lawn? In your video, it looks like it goes right over them instead of chopping them up.
I'll have to do a follow up when we have more leaves in the fall. It did chop up some of the leaves, but you are correct some were just moved since they aren't attached to the ground like blades of grass. Im sure it would cut them up if I lowered the blade and increased the speed. I'll do a follow up video during the fall.
What Segway failed to share is that they have place a hard limit to the map range boundaries. If you buy a 1/4 model, you can’t map past that. My lot is 1/4 plus 200feet. I can’t map my full property because of the extra 200 feet. So I have to remap and cut corners so I won’t go over the 1/4 acres. I thought maybe map two separate zones, but nope! You can’t go over at all the 1/4 total. Just another way to force you to buy a more expensive robot.
@@haroldpierre1726 I called them and they say it’s a battery issue, I call bull on that. This machine can just go back and recharge if I choose to have the whole property done in one day. In reality, I have 3 zones and I have it do one daily. There is no way why this machine can’t do an extra zone or two. It’s definitely a way to make you spend more.
@@PabloJGarcia-ef1uh That's so disappointing. When will companies learn that happy customers lead to more customers. There is no need to screw the customer in order to fatten their pockets.
Nice machine, however neither the antenna extension nor the 4G module are included in the Navimow base price - both together are around $200 additional..
@@ChrisLoh Nice review BTW also - thanks! Support is good as well, but pretty much exclusive to the app (using the included Chat feature or FAQ), so a phone call to Customer Support (at least in the US) to discuss problems or features is not possible (at least that I've discovered), and the online site is limited to email. Leading to another thing that might be mentioned, which was only discoverable by user report, in that the 1/8 acre model (the i105N in the US) will ONLY mow 1/8 acre. In other words, if your yard is over 1/8 acre, the app won't even save the map (this again by report), so the mower can't be used. This could change with software updates (and may have), but AFAIK that's the current status, important tor prospective buyers to know - if your yard is on the edge of being larger than 1/8 acre, get the larger model. The i110N model on the other hand will map and mow yards over 1/4 acre - I'm currently using one on a 12,000 sq ft plus yard (1/4 acre is 10,890 sq ft) and it works great, just takes a little longer. It's also good to re-emphasize the importance of clear sky GPS access to BOTH the mower in the station and the antenna for it to work well - if the mower doesn't have good or at least fair satellite visibility when docked, it will never leave the station, hence never mow. I have a yard with substantial tree cover, but managed to place the antenna in the one small open area, and the mower station just on the fringe of the tree line - the camera compensates for weak GPS coverage elsewhere once the yard is mapped. Small things, but a lot of research prior to buying will save time and effort, and your video is certainly helpful, although - 1) square, flat yard, 2) few or no obstacles, and 3) no tree cover and open sky, make your test ideal, and others can expect some challenges the farther they get from that ideal - trees, slopes, obstacles and contours.

Definitely consider this robotic lawn mower in the near future!

Is that a battery issue or just a way for them to force you to spend more money?

Great video, detailed and professional
The accessory kit are extra and not part of the $1299. The 4g module is an additional $149.99.
This. They probably sent them all included in the boxes to reviewers but he probably didn’t realise that!
Thanks. You are correct, they are an additional cost now. At the time of filming, those were included gifts for individuals who purchased early.
@@ChrisLoh yeah makes total sense! Wish the off road wheels came as stock! I’ve bought one since the vid and it’s amazing!
Nice machine
Great video, but HOLY COW---let your grass go past 2", I'm not sure what kind of grass that is, but it needs the help.
The Dry summer heat here in Texas isn't helping much and I will admit I havent watered much lately. Is there a benefit from letting it grow 2" more?

Yea. Unfortunately they were only gifted at launch.

This sure smells like another paid review on this model
