Segway’s AI lawn mower gave my dad his weekends back

TAMPA, Fla. (BLOOM) – If your dad hates mowing the lawn but loves new gadgets, Segway may have created the perfect Father’s Day gift.

This year my dad celebrated his 50th birthday. He resides in west central Illinois, an area where the grass grows quickly. His job is physically demanding, leaving him little energy for yard maintenance on the weekends. Ever since I can remember, he has dedicated hours each week to pushing a lawn mower in the hot sun.

So this year, I wanted to give him something that would genuinely improve his life.

To give him a break, I gifted him the Segway Navimow X350, a robotic lawn mower capable of managing up to 1.5 acres with very little effort. Shortly after setting it up, he sent me a video, smiling as the robot efficiently glided across his backyard. He joked, “I just hope it doesn’t turn against the family.”

It’s hard to believe something this fast, this quiet, and this accurate doesn’t need perimeter wires. But the Navimow X350 is no ordinary lawn mower.

Why It’s Perfect for My Dad, and Probably Yours Too

Switching from manual labor to using this mower has been a significant change for my dad. He no longer spends his weekends enduring the heat and tall grass. Now, he can relax while the Navimow efficiently takes care of the lawn.

He just taps a few buttons in the app and it takes care of the yard, even when he’s not home. It navigates hills, steers around obstacles, recharges itself, and gets the job done without complaints or gas refills.

If your dad is the kind of guy who works hard and values his time off, this isn’t just a luxury, it’s a thoughtful investment in peace of mind.

Wire-Free, Worry-Free

Unlike traditional robot mowers that rely on boundary wires, the Navimow uses EFLS 3.0, a high-precision GPS and vision system that maps your yard with centimeter-level accuracy. Setup took my dad less than an hour, and he didn’t need professional help.

Once mapped, the mower navigates with ease, even in tricky areas like under trees, between flower beds or over hills up to a 27° incline.

Quiet Enough for Hammock Time

One of the most surprising features is how quiet it is. At just 60 decibels, it’s no louder than a household air conditioner. You can run it while enjoying dinner on the patio or even at night without disturbing the neighbors.

My dad now schedules his mowing from his phone using the Navimow app, which offers smart zone control, real-time tracking, and even integrates with Alexa or Google Home.

Packed With Safety Features

With a combination of front and rear sensors, 300° object detection, and AI-powered obstacle avoidance, the mower can identify over 200 types of obstacles, furniture, pets, even hanging objects. There’s also an Animal-Friendly Mode that can recognize 24 common animals, including dogs and cats, and adjust its path accordingly.

Security is also built-in. GPS tracking and alerts keep the device safe, while hidden compartments can house additional trackers.

Worth the Price?

At $3,499, the X350 is not a cheap purchase, but if you have the budget and the yard to match, it’s a game-changer.

For my dad, who’s always taken pride in his lawn but could do without the extra labor and repetitive mowing, the Navimow has been a revelation. He gets his weekends back, and I get fewer texts asking if I can help with yard work.

If you’re looking for a gift that blends convenience, technology, and a little fun, this might just be the ultimate backyard upgrade.

Where to buy:

The Segway Navimow X350 is available now through Amazon and Lowe’s with free shipping, a 30-day return policy, and a 3-year warranty.
