Segway Navimow i105N Robot Lawn Mower

Overview

The Segway Navimow i105N is a compact wire-free robot mower that uses satellite positioning, an antenna, and camera-assisted obstacle recognition. It is designed for people who want scheduled mowing without installing a physical boundary wire.

This review combines owner feedback with independent coverage from PCWorld and current support documentation.

Mapping and Setup

The i105N requires more planning than a camera-only mower. The charging station and antenna need a good view of the sky, and trees or nearby buildings can make signal acquisition harder. Once the signal is stable, owners generally find app-based mapping accurate and easy to adjust.

The mapping process is a strength for open lawns, but a weakness for shaded yards or spaces bordered by tall structures. Users also report that the first boundary walk can take patience, particularly around sidewalks and neighboring lawns.

Cutting Performance

Owners consistently praise the quiet operation and the mower's ability to maintain a lawn on a schedule. Like most robot mowers, it works best when used often and does not collect grass. Small missed sections may be handled on a later pass, but edges and shallow ruts can still require manual cleanup.

The i105N is a better match for a reasonably open lawn than a complex garden with heavy tree cover. Its navigation system can be very dependable once installed correctly, but installation quality is part of the product experience.

Weaknesses

The antenna and satellite requirements create more setup variables than newer LiDAR systems. The mower can also get stuck in shallow depressions or need map corrections around unusual boundaries. Buyers should plan for occasional trimming along walls and curbs.

Verdict

The Navimow i105N remains a strong option for open, mostly flat lawns where satellite reception is reliable. It is especially attractive for buyers who value quiet scheduled mowing and a mature app experience. Choose a LiDAR-based model instead if trees, buildings, or narrow passages make the antenna location uncertain.
