Wire-free navigation, area and slope · review
All-wheel drive and a stated 45% slope on a small-lawn Navimow, for owners whose problem is a hill rather than acreage.
The stated area is only 0.15 acre, but Segway adds all-wheel drive and a 45% slope rating.
Zero-turn steering aims to avoid scuffing when turning, which is often where robots damage grass.
Check the warranty on the product page, as it is not in the bullets we read.
Keep children and pets off the lawn while a robot mower runs, and read the manual on slopes, edges and water. Slope figures are stated by the maker and depend on grip and ground.

It is a percentage, not an angle: 45% is about 24 degrees. Grip varies with wet grass, so treat it as the maker’s best case.
Segway says it keeps moving on steep and rough ground.

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
