So focused on having that perfect lawn are we, we’re doing battle with time and nature. Our sunny weekend lawnmowing past, being replaced by this technological innovation. The prime time of the Segway Navimow i105 for your lawn. The good, the bad, the features, the quick setup and how it can free you from some lawn cutting this season. If you need an edge on your lawn, and you don’t have the time, then you’ll want to have a look at this.
One big claim for the appeal of the Navimow i105 was to do away with one of the traditional hassles of robotic mowers: the need to lay boundary wires around the land you want cut. Another typical problem with these machines is that many people lack the time or tools – not to mention the unpleasant prospect – of digging a trench. This aspect of the Navimow’s design makes it a pleasure to set up while you’re having your morning coffee. This is laziness with a comfortable, middle-class spin.
Given all the technological wizardry that must be going on inside the Navimow i105, controlling it couldn’t be simpler. Really: it’s a matter of putting down a GPS antenna and a docking station, neither of which can really be described as ‘installation’. Get your lawn looking a little too like a meadow and it could do with a traditional trim before your robot helper is turned loose. But therein lies the tip-off that the device has been thoughtfully designed to make mowing as effortless as possible, from the very start.
The Navimow is built for real gardens, however, and the slopes and tiers of my own lawn proved high-intensity testing ground for the little mower with its HD camera and 180-degree vision. The i105 will stop anything from getting in the way, apart from the very edge of your lawn with a bit of work, so you might be frequenting your borders with an edger, should you be less conventionally shaped than I. It also has an IP66 water- and dust-resistance rating, but I’d still be adding more protection, in particular against the weather.
Once it’s up and running, though, the Navimow i105 scores points for virtually eliminating the tedium of lawn mowing. On lawns that aren’t overly uneven it works like a charm, chugging along in a precise perimeter path, satellites guiding it so that every blade of grass gets a haircut — provided, of course, it’s in the path. Those edges will need to be trimmed by hand. And even then the device’s efficiency isn’t just about how good the cut is. In addition to moving itself, it allows your lawn to be cared for constantly without constant care — at least when you use its app-based controls.
The Navimow i105, with a price tag of roughly $1,200, does represent quite a splurge. But compared with the alternative of maintaining your own lawn — whether through the expense of hiring help or the cost of your own time — it can truly be seen as an investment. If you value your time and want to tend to your garden without spending endless hours on upkeep, the Navimow makes a clear case.
The Segway Navimow i105 is a mower, of course, but it’s also a symbol of the many ways in which clever technology can take the gardening ‘grind’ out of everyday life. Of course it can’t completely do away with human intervention – even for the simpler lawn layouts it’s suitable for – but it certainly makes work a lot less work. If the sound of a stunning lawn without the weekend slog enticing you at all, then you owe it to yourself to look at the Navimow i105.
Here, ‘edge’ means the vanguard of technology and ease, as evidenced by the Segway Navimow i105’s ability to control a robotic mower with negligible human involvement. Its design, its use of GPS to remove the need for property boundaries, and its obstacle avoidance technology puts it at the edge of lawn care technology. This mower illustrates the ways that edge technology can make even a boring, menial task interesting, and it offers a glimpse into a possible future where smart, efficient devices transform all domestic labour.
