Segway’s Navimow X3 series is now available to buy in the US, adding to the limited number of robot lawnmowers capable of tackling larger yards. Joining the more affordable Navimow i series that launched in March 2024, the Navimow X3 has several models, ranging from the $2,299 X315 which can cover 0.4 acres, to the $4,999 X390 capable of mowing up to 2.5 acres.
The mower can cover 1.25 acres in 24 hours, which Segway says is twice as fast as the industry average. Users can expect it to cover around 0.3 acres of mowing per charge, taking about 80 minutes to juice up at its charging station. It also comes with an expansion bay that supports add-ons like a trimmer, fertilizer spreader, and mosquito repellant module, which are expected to launch in “Summer 2025” according to Segway.
The Navimow X3 series can navigate autonomously without a boundary wire using the latest version of Segway’s Exact Fusion Location System, a camera and virtual mapping setup that gives the mower a 300-degree field of view. It can also identify and avoid over 200 kinds of obstacles, including steep slopes, trampolines, toys, and pets, and utilizes real-time forecasts to adapt its schedule around weather conditions like rain, snow, and high temperatures.
The mower operates at around 60 dB, which is quiet enough to run it at night with minimal disturbance according to Segway, and comes with anti-theft GPS tracking capabilities in case it gets snatched while you sleep. Mowing options can be managed through the Navimow app or using voice controls via integrations with Alexa and Google Home.
While pricey, the X390 comes in cheaper than Husqvarna’s $5,900 Automower 450X EPOS, one of the few other 2.5 acre-capable robot mowers on the market. If your yard isn’t that sizable though, Husqvarna will soon be releasing the new Automower IQ lineup that provides a similar array of coverage options to the Navimow X3 series, starting at $2,999 for the 0.5-acre capable Automower 410 iQ.
