Pros & cons
Segway Navimow i105N
- ✓Cheapest RTK mower from a major brand; frequently $669-699 on sale
- ✓Straight parallel stripes with no random bouncing, so the lawn looks intentional
- ✓58 dB is quiet enough to run early morning without waking neighbors
- ✓AI Assist Mapping finds the lawn edge for you during the perimeter drive
- ✓3-year warranty, longer than most budget rivals
- ✗Owners report it getting stuck on flat ground and in small dips
- ✗Only 60 minutes per charge, so a full 1/8 acre takes multiple cycles
- ✗No cliff or curb detection; front-wheel drive spins out above 30% grades
- ✗Manual height dial and no GPS anti-theft without the $120 Access+ module
- ✗Several owners hit failures after a few months and slow email-only support
Roborock RockNeo Q1
- ✓Very quiet; owners run it at dawn and after dark using the built-in headlights
- ✓Roborock's mapping know-how shows: clean back-and-forth patterns and an app owners rate above Segway's
- ✓Street price of $800 to $1,000 makes it one of the cheapest RTK-plus-vision mowers
- ✓Floating deck and 1.57 inch obstacle clearance handle mildly bumpy lawns
- ✓Optional PreciEdge module cuts within 1.2 inches of borders
- ✗Owners warn it is for simple flat lawns only; it strands itself on rock beds, sand and slopes
- ✗Needs excellent sky view for RTK; initial mapping can drift and take a few runs to settle
- ✗Manual cutting-height dial, no built-in 4G, and edge module costs extra
- ✗Software keeps a wide margin from overhanging plants, leaving uncut strips
