Thanks for the insightful video. I'm one of the indiegogo backers and was quoted shipping in June! It's August 23 and Segway keeps pushing back the delivery date with excuse after excuse, and the stories keep changing. A lot of backers are getting very angry. Reaching support has been a genuine nightmare and they ignored backer comments and questions for weeks (once they got the money). Latest chat support has said is they have the units in the US warehouse (but still not shipping ??). Funny is that the indiegogo page announced they were at the shipyard this morning, so who knows the truth. Also worried as these have been available in Europe for a year and that FB group is full of horror stories. Wondering if I should just get the EF Ecoflow instead. Costs more but it has a better warranty.

those blades are so tiny, it looks like a joke!

Love the robot lawn mower reviews, especially those satisfying time lapses! I appreciate the honesty as well!

This is the type of review the people need! It’s great to see the feature but it’s best to see real world functionality and issues. Thank you for this because I was super close to buying this model.

I'm really enjoying my Luba so far. It's great to see this space take off because ultimately competition is going to benefit us, both in pricing and pace of innovation! Very interested to keep watching this space. Thank you. Subbing now!

Great genuine, honest review! Very AuthenTech 👍🏻

I think an RTK robotic lawnmower's antenna shouldn't be placed under a tall wall, yet in the video, I consistently see the antenna placed under the wall every time Navimow encounters an issue. I'm not sure if the author lacks a deep understanding of this product category, leading to these erroneous operations. Maybe try to relocate the antenna to a more ideal place?

The installation guide says that 2m (6.5 ft) from walls is the minimum.

Most of the issues you're having are inherent to RTK and poor signal reception. When the base station loses a satellite fix, the mower/rover location is only as good as basic GNSS (about +/-6 feet). This can happen a few times an hour depending on where you place the base station. Without the base station sending GPS corrections, the mower's GPS is less accurate so it will 'act funny'. If it's only a few seconds, you will not notice anything. After longer periods, it might mow in a zig-zag pattern like it had a boundary wire setup. The mower might use the last RTK correction from the base station and have an 'offset' until it times-out. Keep in mind that the base station's job is to tell the mower how much to add/subtract the MOWER's own GPS coordinates. This update happens a few times each minute and requires the base station receive enough coordinates from enough satellites and send that data to the mower and the mower to receive enough signals from it's satellites. The mower itself can lose it's own GPS fix as well. In this case, it will also 'act funny'. It will mow for a few seconds while retrying. If after a few seconds, it still doesn't have a satellite fix, it will typically stop and error, but might default to just using compass and proximity sensors for a minute or two if the last location was far enough away from the boundary. The 'better' RTK systems tell you the WORST CASE signal after a long integration period. This forces people to place them in very good locations.

hi, is there a way to check for RTK or satellite strength before buying the machine? does it need to be brand specific? I am planning to order one from Amazon and bring it to my parent house in Thailand. (looking for the newer version i105N. If there is anything that I can check before hand, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

2:40 Zones have been added since then The latest version even added the ability to select mowing directions for each zone. Pretty useful when your lawn isn't fully horizontal.

Great review. Did you have any areas with tall trees/hedge when setting up? I’m interested to know if there are any issues with loss of GPS during setup. Thanks

You have GPS connection issue between robot and antena. I had similar issues, just put GPS antena in direct view with mover and he will work perfectly.

@unnainconnu9098

The antenna doesn't need to be in direct view as it's RF, but it does need to get a good GPS reception. When there are connection issues between the two, an error is shown.

Bro's got that perfect lawn for reviewing these things.

Hello. I am from Slovenia and the mower works very well. You can walk with her for a while and find the right path. You have very easy terrain against my hill. Greetings

... And Segway said this behaviour was normal when you contacted them about this problem? It seems strange to me. This robot has been on the market in Europe for quite some time with nothing but good reviews and alot of happy customers. Unless there is a big technical difference in the EU vs US version, and the US version is severely faulty, this review seems more sensational than anything else.

Got to question the install. Have just bought and installed and it is absolutely perfect even with our complicated garden.

There is definitely something defective about your model, or the rtk is just not seeing enough satellites. I have tested both old and new versions of the Navimow and have never experienced it bouncing around, or going outside the boundaries. They work to the same accuracy and reliability as the Luba does.

Banging its head against the wall over and over is sadly not a RTK issue.

@robotlawnmowersaustralia7913

@@AuthenTech continual bumping into something is because the robot thinks it needs to travel this path to get to where it wants to mow. Sadly every rtk robot mower I have tested will do the same thing if you interrupt the path of the robot trying to pass through a narrow passage. Parallel signal paths and poor rtk position could cause this to occur, but I still think your robot is faulty. You should get it replaced by Segway and try your review again with a robot that is working properly.

You also have a Luba seen in 4:56. What do you think of it compared to the Navimow?

Can you cut the grass by using ur phone to guide/control/steer it. Or is it fully automated.

They need to stick to scooters by the looks of it. I also think like you said it needs more sensors and possibly Lidar. Maybe they were taking a page out of Tesla's book by removing sensors. Good honest review bro.

@AuthenTech

I fully agree that LIDAR would be huge. Live updating of map edges, better/tighter obstacle avoidance, etc

Very strange. My H3000 doesn't have that kind of problems. Looks the s/w you used is outdated. I do have issues with vision fence, that cause some erratic movement. But those are easily resolved. So, this review is not consistent with my experience at all, and my lawn is much much more complex. Maybe your machine is deffective., or you are using an early beta version. Also, have you upgraded the vision fence firmware?

Wow that reminds me a lot about Luba... except my Luba works really well

How is the compared to Mammotion Luba?

These machines are by no means perfect, but my Husq 450X is magnificent. I love it and it can't handle ditches, so I get a workout once a week 1/2 doing ditches with my Worx pusher. But I gotta say, the installation was real work. But worth it. Saying, "Alexa, mow the lawn" and it just happens, is surreal.

Whats up with all the beta hand swooshing? But i wouldn't get one regardless

"this is the needle that broke the camel's back". Ok George W. Bush 🤣🤣🤣

that random bouncing is actually good, straight lines look aweful in the garden...

Seems cool, but it seems like it needs another version

Why are there no walls or fences around your property?

They have a newer version that premiered at the CES the Segway Navimow i robotic lawnmower. Maybe the bugs are out of the newer model?

The title of vid says it all, it's clickbait nonsense, correctly installing the base station antennae with full view of sky and preferentially the same satellites the robot will likely see is how it's done. This is inherent to any rtk system including Lubas they all operate the same. If this is no good go perimeter wire.

I’ve had zero issues, all I can say is that antenna placement is beyond important

Thanks, you saved me a few thousand Euros!

Good intel Ben.

There could be a bug on yours, the ones I've talked to in the last few weeks who have one don't say it's perfect, there's still some "beta" software in it, but they don't do the trick of driving back and forth same place.

Of course software issues number one, but there's a few hardware problems that's going to have to change. They need to copy Luba's Omni Wheels and not do The angled thing, and they need to be powered so blade will be 4x4. The charge port is poorly designed, They need to come up with something better. lots of unsuccessful dockings and charges. But if they can do those three things (software, charge port, front wheels) I could give it a thumbs up.

Sorry, but your review isn't good. 1) I'm quite sure that you have done a lot of things with the settings and never rebooted the mover - like you always do with your computer after making changes. 2) If you had taken the time to make 'off limit' zones you would have had a perfect results. 3) Have you talked to Segway about your issues - They would have given you the support to make the mower work perfectly. I've had my H3000E for more than a year now, and all issues have been solved. I've experienced good support, and a mower that's being updated with new features and minor corrections. The only issue I have is with the tires - the grip should have been better.

Now that Segway's AI has caused damage to your neighbour's property, who will pay for the damage?

I have my Navimow robot lawn mower for 2 years cutting 26k sqft a week with a front and back lawn, and I have to disagree with this review and it should be redone. My guess is the demo machine he got was messed up as this bares no reflection to my experience.

Put this down to how well you set it up at the start. Who paid you to say such dishonest nonsense.
