Segway Navimow i215 LiDAR review

Segway’s LiDAR model drops the satellite antenna, covers a stated 0.37 acre and adds Apple Find My, for $1,599.

Why LiDAR

RTK depends on a clear view of satellites. This model maps with LiDAR and cameras instead, which is the better design for yards under trees. The listing calls this “satellite-free” navigation.

More mower

The area rises to 0.37 acre and the cut to 8.66 inches. The weight rises too, to 32.4 pounds.

Before you buy

The bullets we read do not give a full cutting-height range, so confirm it on the listing.

Keeping it safe

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.

What this machine usually gets asked

Does it need RTK?

Segway says no boundary wires or antennas are required. LiDAR and vision navigate without satellites.

What is Find My?

The listing says the mower works with Apple Find My alerts for locating it.

Our score

7.9/ 10

If trees block your sky, LiDAR is the reason to spend more.

The way we judge this lawn equipment

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.
