It used to be the case that nothing worth having came easy–an old adage that kept us going as we powered through repetitive manual chores, such as the ongoing maintenance required to establish a perfectly manicured lawn. Today, the biggest draw of smart home tech is its ability to unlock free time for its users. That’s time to spend with family, time to socialize, time to sit back and relax–above all, it’s time not spent mowing the lawn.
If you’re guilty of obsessing over the prospect of having a green and luscious lawn, but tired of the effort it takes to maintain, robot lawn mowers such as Segway’s Navimow X3 are for you.
This is the robot you’ve been looking for
The Navimow X3 was built to tackle more than just your lawn—this robot lawn mower was designed to remove all your frustrations regarding robotic mowers and lawncare in general.
Cordless design
Segway
Segway’s robot lawn mower has a wire-free setup, and that means no more trip-hazards and unsightly cable mess. If your garden is oddly shaped, then not requiring boundary wires will be a blessing.
Instead, the Navimow X3 uses ultrasonic sensors and 3D vision to navigate the yard and avoid obstacles, including pets and kids who might be playing in the yard. It doesn’t matter how complex is the garden layout, how uneven is the terrain, or how steep is the slope, its larger-than-average cutting blade and accelerated mowing tech will precision-cut your lawn at pace.
Autonomous operation
Segway
Once installed, the Navimow X3 operates fully autonomously. Tasks are scheduled based on the weather, mowing happens automatically and, when done, it will return to the charging station to prepare itself for the next outing. Not only can this robot recharge itself, but it will do so twice as fast as many other robotic mowers on the market.
Keeping larger lawns in top shape typically requires a lot of manual labor. The idea of a using a robot to remove some of this hard work is welcome, but the robot also needs to be able to quickly and efficiently make its way around the yard, and complete the full job properly. Thanks to its speedy mowing skills, large cutting blades, and ability to quickly recharge itself when needed, the Navimow X3 is more efficient for maintaining larger lawns than many of its competitors. And that means it can process enormous lawns up to 5,000 square meters in just 24 hours.
Wake up to the smell of freshly cut grass
The beauty of this robot lawn mower is you can even set it up to run super-early in the morning, or super-late at night. Since it doesn’t make much noise—just 60db— it won’t bother your neighbors. Using the app you can configure the mowing schedule, customize cutting areas, and track progress at a glance.
Make the neighbors jealous
Your neighbors might watch over the fence with curiosity and awe, but you needn’t worry about anyone borrowing your little yard helper. Segway fits the Navimow X3 with antitheft GPS tracking, which lets you immediately track the robot’s location, and causes it to blare out an alarm if it’s lifted and removed from the boundary you set.
This app is easy to integrate with Google Home and Alexa, so you can give voice commands to your smart home assistant to send out the Navimow X3 to do its job.
Automate your lawncare today
If you just can’t wait to get started, Segway Navimow has an Online to Offline service for the X3 Series robotic mowers. This means you can order the mower online and go pick it up in person from an authorized retailer in your vicinity, or stop by for a product demo or usage tips.
