Has anyone figured out a way for the X4 to avoid going over curbs? Would be nice if you could say map it along the outside of the curb and create an "invisible wall" that the mower cannot penetrate while maneuvering. Setting the mower direction won't work for me since it's about a 200' radius over 650' of sidewalk. Also thought of mapping a no go zone, but the street is outside of my perimeter map. Just seems odd that it will avoid my garden hoses that are flush to the grass at all costs, stay about 8" away from my fences that I want it to get close to even after manually drawing the boundary to be right on the fence, but when it comes to curbs, it'll will full send right over into the street!

My lawn is about .2 acres and the 215 is supposed to cut .37 but I would like to have it mow all .2 acres in about 10 hours if possible. I think their website said 16 hours. I want to mow when the grass is dry so 10-11 hours is about all the dry time it has since it takes hours to irrigate and then dry every other day. The site said 160 minutes to charge so is that what everyone is seeing?

My X430 updated to 4.16 from 4.14 so skipping 4.15. Just started a mowing session, seems to working fine sofare

This is the second hot day and both days it has stopped charging because it is too hot. it is 93 degrees. If the doc needs clear line of site it is going to be in the sun, and mower is black so it gets hot. This sounds like it is going to be an issue if it can't handle summer temps. Anyone in hot areas not having issues?

despite all features in VisionFence are enabled to use the camera for obstacle avoidance (on the Navimow i208 AWD) it still bumps and sometimes runs over average/big sized molehills.

Anyone else with the same experience? If possible it would be nice to have this improved via a feature/improvement request where ever possible....

Is there a way to adjust the distance to detected obstacles. I have some tree trunks that my Navimow i2 Lidar Pro goes around a fair amount, like 20-30cm. Could this be somehow adjusted in the app?

I watched a few you tube reviews before pulling the trigger. I felt the 30 day money back guarantee was enough insurance for me. The mower arrived today and I haven't convinced myself that I'm not going to put it back in the box.

First impressions: It's confused and underpowered.

I installed it outside and powered it on - after setting up the app and connecting to wifi it took 30 minutes of updates before it was ready to roll.

I tried manual drive first - Have some tall grass - but nothing a "normal" mower could not take care of. It took several tight overlapping passes to get it knocked down. It seems like the blades are not very large and

I then did a map of a part of my yard. After completing the map and setting it loose - it went in the opposite direction of my original walk, it got into a corner where it was not able to honor my boundary - just did a small part of the area and moved on.

Instead of cleanly tracking the boundary or intelligently avoiding obstacles it is stopping, pausing and then moving in weird patterns.

The grass is also not cut very well - and may take several passes which is looking like a day or two at this rate.

It managed to mow .08 acres with a 75% charge.

After having seen it in action in my yard - I think that the videos are misleading as to it's efficacy and abilities.

We shall see.

Segway Navimo X430

It just started pouring the rain down and my Navimow x450 just kept mowing. I let it go for about two minutes and finally I manually sent it back home. That sucks because it cancelled the mow and lost progress on a new area I was doing a one time mow on. Under weather the rain sensor is enabled. How long does it take before it figures out that it’s pouring down rain and could something potentially be wrong with the mower rain sensor? This wasn’t light rain, it was very heavy hard drops from an unexpected downpour that just started and continues as I type this.

My lot size is 0.6 acres, with an unfenced front yard, a fenced back yard and a ~10' wide area outside the fence in the back yard along the road. The front and back yards are separated by a driveway. I have a dog and a metal fence, so I don't want to even consider trying to use the the MowGate.

I was thinking that I would have two fact patterns:

1. On a normal basis, I would have 3 total zones for the front, fenced back and unfenced back areas. The mower would be based in the fenced back yard, and I will manually let it out to cut the unfenced areas a couple times a week.

2. When on vacation, I would leave one of the fence gates open and have it do all 3 areas on its own.

Is that a viable plan? Having not used the software before, I'm not sure if it's a pretty simple task to choose which of the zones will be mowed at any given time.

My driveway has a bit of a raised lip along one of the sides to make sure water funnels to the bottom. I would probably need to build up a small ramp for the mower to get over it OR I would need it to go up and around via my front walkway. Is it possible to designate a very specific channel for the mower to traverse between zones in that way?

I have two large trees in my front yard that produce a large tree canopy. Is that a problem with navigation?

Finally, any reasons why I should pick the Navimow over the Mammotion Luba3?

Hi guys,
Has anyone succeeded in having the charging station for a Navimow X4 inside a garage or similar?
Thanks

Seriously, It's like it's doing a line dance if it sees a tree. The route from my base to most zones requires going through an area two cars can EASILY drive past each other in but with trees on both sides and it looks like it's trying to breakdance the whole 50' roll of doom?

My Roborock vacuum can run through my house from room to room, cutting corners and literally going under the couch as a shortcut and this thing can't find it's way between trees I can drive between?
