Do you have a back or front yard of 0.4 to 2.5 acres (1,600 to 10,100 m²), but your gardener is nowhere to be found because of… erhmmm. Anyhoo, in the age of robots, you really should be letting Sonny do the maintenance of the grass. But until humanoid robots get better at yard work, your best bet is the Segway Navimow X3 Series Robot Mower.
For those living under rocks, deep in the Mariana Trench, Segway has been making robot mowers for years. The X3 Series is its most advanced yet, covering up to 5,000 m² (1.25 acres) in 24 hours—twice as fast as the industry average. It’s also the first robotic mower to earn a TÜV Rheinland High Efficiency Certification, so it’s not just another overhyped gadget.
The EFLS 3.0 navigation system integrates RTK, vSLAM, and VIO for centimeter-level accuracy, meaning no random zigzags or missed patches. Three wide-angle cameras and a Time-of-Flight sensor (0.1–2 m / 4 in–6.5 ft range) help it dodge over 200 types of obstacles, including trampolines, swings, and slopes up to 50% (26.6°).
Prices start at US$2,299 for the X315 (0.4 acres / 1,600 m²) and go up to US$4,999 for the X390 (2.5 acres / 10,100 m²). So, instead of sweating over grass, you can let the X3 do the work while you do literally anything else.
