Segway has just unleashed its Navimow X3 series robot lawnmowers onto the US market, and it’s a game-changer for owners of expansive yards. Until now, finding a robotic mower capable of handling truly large properties has been a challenge. But the X3 series changes all that, offering several models to suit different lawn sizes and budgets.
The range includes options from the X315, perfect for smaller properties at 0.4 acres and priced at $2,299, to the powerhouse X390. This top-of-the-line model can tackle up to a massive 2.5 acres and is priced at $4,999. Segway boasts that the X3 can mow 1.25 acres in just 24 hours – twice the speed of the average robot mower. While a full mow might require multiple charges (around 80 minutes per charge, yielding approximately 0.3 acres of coverage), the speed advantage is significant.
What really sets the Navimow X3 apart is its advanced navigation system. Utilizing Segway’s Exact Fusion Location System, a combination of camera and virtual mapping technology, the X3 boasts a 300-degree field of view for precise and autonomous mowing. It can cleverly identify and avoid over 200 different obstacles, from pets and toys to slopes and trampolines, ensuring both safety and efficient operation. Smart features extend to weather adaptability, with the mower intelligently adjusting its schedule based on real-time forecasts of rain, snow, or extreme temperatures.
Noise is also a consideration. Segway claims the X3 operates at a quiet 60 dB, making nighttime mowing a viable option. And for peace of mind, anti-theft GPS tracking is integrated to protect your investment. Control is simple, with options available through the Navimow app or via voice commands through Alexa and Google Home integrations.
The Navimow X3 series offers a compelling alternative to other high-capacity robot mowers on the market. While the X390 is a significant investment, it undercuts the price of competitors like Husqvarna’s Automower 450X EPOS, which also boasts a 2.5-acre capacity but carries a hefty $5,900 price tag. Husqvarna is, however, launching its new Automower IQ lineup soon, providing similar coverage options starting at $2,999 for the 0.5-acre model. This makes the Segway Navimow X3 a strong contender in the increasingly competitive market for large-area robotic lawn care.
Beyond the standard mowing capabilities, Segway plans to release expansion bay add-ons in Summer 2025. These additions will include features such as a trimmer, fertilizer spreader, and even a mosquito repellent module, further enhancing the mower’s versatility and functionality. If you’re tired of battling overgrown lawns, the Segway Navimow X3 might just be the robotic solution you’ve been searching for.
