Game changer
This lawn mower robot is a game changer - it an incredible application of the latest tech and engineering to make a chore an afterthought. Is it perfect? No, not at all. Is a giant leap forward? Absolutely.The confluence of GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, and camera-based AI makes this robot completely different and supremely effective. Using your phone and the robot, you map out the areas of lawn on your property. The robot orients itself with GPS and doesn't miss. IT cuts grass very efficiently, and makes hardly any noise at all. You can run this in the middle of the night and no one would know! The app keeps track of where it is, and you can monitor its progress easily and intuitively. It varies its pattern on every use, and it hits the stragglers it missed on its previous mission.Set up is a less intuitive than it should be, but after some trial and error, you can figure it out easily. I mapped out two areas of lawn that are separated by our house, and it seems to work well. You will have to create "channels" between the areas of lawn that the robot follows. You will have to manually open gates of course, but it makes it from the back to the front reliably. The app reports progress clearly so you are always aware where the mower relative to the complete task.Some things that I hope will improve with OTA updates:You have set up all of your lawn zones as a single task and you cannot do the back and front independently. I have it set up to do my back first and then the front. When it is done with the front, the mower has to enter my back lawn and then make it back to the charger. My charger is set up between the lawns so it would be more efficient for the robot to go directly to the charger without going to the back lawn first.I mistakenly selected the option to map the shortest path to the charger, which made the mower try to go through a brick wall. The camera detected the wall, but then the mower got confused and just couldn't find its way to the charger - it was relatively amusing to see it try, but it was obvious that it wasn't going to succeed. It was not intuitive how to change the channel - I finally discovered that the mower needs to be in the boundary of one of the lawn zones to allow a channel to be selected for a redo. Once I figured this out, it was relatively easy to set up a channel that allows the mower to automatically navigate to the charger.I also found it is better to turn off the camera when navigating a long channel, e.g. the channel from the back lawn to the front lawn. If the camera is on and there is something close to the path (a stray branch from a plant, a planter, etc.), the robot things it needs to assess if it can get around it and then it can do some relatively creative rerouting, sometimes unsuccessfully. Turning off the camera results in it confidently navigating the path to the next zone.If you have to stop and lift the mower due to an obstruction, the app instructs you to press OK and the home button to restart the mower. That doesn't seem to work. It does clear if you put the mower within the boundary of a zone, but the conflicting directions make things somewhat unclear.Overall, I am very comfortable with the machine. For the most part, it does what it says it will do, and is very reliable. I expect it to continue to get better with additional firmware updates, and the positives far outweigh the niggling negatives that I have observed so far. Highly recommended

The Navimow i110N robot is OK, but it won't achieve "overlord" status any time soon.
3.5 stars on the robot. 5 stars on customer service, so an averaged rating of 4 stars. I just finished my first mow with the i110N. My initial reaction was "Hey, I could get used to this!" Then I saw how the mower handled the rest of my lawn. I have an imperfect lawn that is a bit uneven, with several flat bare patches, and different kinds of grass. It's not a perfect, fantasy lawn as shown in the robot mower videos that would allow a robot mower to function at its best. This mower's optical system sees bare patches as obstacles and mows around them, even if there are a few bits of grass growing there. The same problem occurs where there are flat patchy spots where there is moss on dirt, but not much grass. Turning off the vision fence feature helped to reduce the problem. If the vision fence is not off, the mower will spend a lot of time being confused and getting stuck in the middle of perfectly flat areas, that it literally can't see its way out of. This mower does a poor job of cutting the thicker tufts of grass. I will have to manually cut those with a string trimmer. It does great cutting thin bladed grasses and grasses that naturally grow more outward than upward. With each pass across the lawn, the mower leaves a bit of uncut grass on the edges of the strip. On followup mows, the mowing pattern is changed and most previously uncut bits are taken care of. I get the best cut when I mow then immediately re-mow an area - especially with thick grass areas (thick - not tall, grass.) The mower handles hills fairly well, coming at them from different angles to make sure that the whole thing is mowed. Note that if the blades are too low or the hill too steep, the mower will have problems mowing the hill. If parts of the lawn are missed, the mower will remember and go back over those areas to make sure they are mowed unless they are completely bare, in which case the mower sees those areas as obstacles. On the higher blade setting, doggie "landmines," small sticks and small rocks are not an issue. Pine cones and small pine/tree branches need to be removed before mowing. This thing is S--L--O--W. It takes almost an entire day (1 1/2 - 2 full charges) to mow 400 square meters (478 square yards or about 1/10th acre.) I decided to break my lawn into two zones so I could re-mow the zone that has the most thick grass and needs extra attention. During peak grass growing season, you will likely need to mow at least daily. Set up was pretty easy with the app and mow progress can be monitored on your phone which is nice. I found that the mower was losing wi-fi signal at the edges of my yard. So, I bought the 4g module and that solved the problem. Navimow says that the cost for annual 4g service with the optional module is $32.90 after the first year of free access ends. (Price as of 3/10/25) In summary, this is a fairly dumb device, that does an average job. At least I don't have to do as much mowing as I did before, so that's a win. A far as robots go, this one won't be achieving "overlord" status any time soon. but if you aren't too picky, it will probably be good enough for most average yard needs.Navimow customer service reached out to me as a result of reading my review. At a time when good customer service is very hard to find, the Navimow support folks have been a fabulous shining example of what it means to provide excellent customer service. Their communication has been amazing and I feel like my concerns were heard. They offered ideas and suggestions for how to improve the mowing results, which were mostly helpful. The customer service alone might be enough to justify buying this mower and I upgraded my rating as a result of my customer service experience. Now, if only Navimow could just provide some way to secure the mower over night so that it doesn't rely on a module to send a phone alarm should the mower be stolen at a time when the owner is sleeping, away from their phone, or not in a position to track down and confront a mower thief. There needs to be a way to secure this and other robot mowers BEFORE they get stolen, rather than alerting owners after the fact. The module works great to extend wi-fi access across my yard, but as a theft deterent, it is a pointless waste of time and money, IMHO.
