Segway Navimow H2 LiDAR (H210) Review: Triple-Navigation Robot Mower Without Wires

LiDAR and the manner.

Robot mowers have long suffered from a paradox: the more precise they were, the more complex their installation became. Perimeter wire to bury, RTK antenna to position, satellite signal to optimise... For many users, the weekend gained by no longer mowing was first lost in laborious installation.

We had tested the Anker Eufy E15, already very promising. The Segway Navimow H2 LiDAR also tries to cut all that short, literally. By abandoning RTK in favour of LiDAR coupled with a camera, it wants to simplify installation while offering reliable navigation even where GPS usually shows weakness.

I was able to test it in conditions far from ideal: waterlogged terrain after three weeks of consecutive rain, grass exceeding 10 cm for a first cut of the season, terrain divided into two distinct zones.

The unit was provided by Segway for testing.

The Navimow H210 LiDAR belongs to the new 2026 generation of Segway. The brand, mainly known for its electric scooters, has gradually established itself in the wireless perimeter robot mower segment.

This H210 model, the variant tested here, is dimensioned for surfaces up to 1,000 m², with daily mowing possible.

LiDAR Navigation

The central element of this model is its navigation technology. Exit the RTK antenna, which forced you to find a location with a clear view of the sky. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) generates real-time 3D mapping of the environment. Combined with a wide-angle RGB camera, it allows the robot to find its way in space without depending on a stable satellite signal — including under a pergola, under trees, or along a wall.

Triple Fusion

Satellite positioning (via the EFLS module visible on top of the robot) remains present, but it now plays a complementary role rather than a backbone.

Charging Base Placement

First advantage, this considerably facilitates the choice of location for the charging base. You can put it near a building, under a porch, wherever you want.

Connectivity

Connectivity is top: dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz) and integrated 4G chip as standard. The latter point is useful if your Wi-Fi network does not cover the entire garden, and it also activates the anti-theft function with permanent geolocation. We note however a limit: the robot only supports WPA encryption, not WPA2.

Build and Protection

The size is compact but solid. 64 cm long, 44 cm wide, 21.5 cm diameter rear wheels, IP66 certification, so it resists dust and water splashes, but not immersion.

Touch Display

There is a colour and touch screen on board allowing you to make basic settings without going through the application: launching mowing, returning to base, cutting height, language, mowing mode.

Taking the Navimow H2 LiDAR out of its box does not take long. The contents are sober: the mower, its charging base with watertight socket, and two sets of replacement blades.

Optional Garage

The protective garage, which covers the upper part of the base, is offered as an option. This is a pity at this price level, especially for a device intended to stay outside in all weathers.

Base Installation

The installation of the base is physical and direct: you plant it in the ground using the supplied equipment, you connect the watertight power cable, and off you go.

Drop and Mow

No cable to bury, no local beacon to calibrate. The brand promises an installation in "drop and mow" mode — put the mower down, launch the application, off you go.

App Connection

The connection to the application is done without problem. The robot automatically detects the available Wi-Fi networks and activates 4G in parallel.

Mapping

Initial mapping is the part that will take you the most time, depending on your choices. Two methods are available: automatic mode, where the robot explores the contours of the terrain alone, and manual mode via the GeoSketch interface, where you pilot the robot like a remote-controlled car from the application. The manual mode is clearly more precise.

Quiet Operation

What strikes you from the first minutes of operation is the noise level — or rather the absence of noise level. The Navimow H210 works in remarkable discretion.

Movement and Terrain Management

The robot starts each session with two laps of the perimeter, a way to clean the borders before attacking the heart of the terrain in parallel lines. The angle of these lines varies from one mowing to another. This change of angle between passes improves the overall quality of cutting over time.

Wet Terrain Behaviour

On dry and stabilised terrain, the behaviour is fluid. On waterlogged terrain, conditions in which most of the testing was conducted, things get complicated. The toothed wheels tend to clog quickly on muddy ground, and some sharp turns left visible traces on the lawn.

Activating the traction control system in the settings significantly improves behaviour. The H210 is propelled by two driven rear wheels — an AWD version is not yet available in this series.

Obstacle Detection

This is one of the strong points of this generation. The EFLS LiDAR+ system recognises more than 200 types of objects — toys, swings, moving animals — and detects elements from 1 cm.

During obstacle surprise tests, a ball suddenly placed in its trajectory was bypassed without hesitation.

The limits appear below ten centimetres on flat and low-contrast objects. A small stone of about 10 cm long and 4 cm thick was not seen, fortunately without contact with the cutting disc.

Cutting Quality

On the equalisation cut, grass over 10 cm, set to 7 cm height, the robot got out with good efficiency.

In standard mowing at 5 cm height, the result is clean and regular on accessible areas. The Terrain Adapt function analyses the slope and optimises mowing trajectories up to 45% slope. The cutting near walls systematically leaves an unmown band — inevitable with this type of device.

The Navimow application is well designed. The interface is clear, the French translation correct, and the handling fast even for a first user.

GeoSketch and Real-Time Tracking

The GeoSketch function displays an interactive colour map allowing you to visualise and adjust mowing zones with a realistic level of detail. From the main screen, you see the progression in real time on the garden map, the percentage of surface covered, the battery level, and the connectivity status.

Zone Management

Zone management is one of the strong points. You can create several independent zones, assign them a different cutting height, define specific time slots, add passages between distinct zones, or even create exclusion zones (flowerbeds, sensitive areas). Mowing reports are available in monthly view.

Limitations

Some limitations deserve to be mentioned. The Wi-Fi encryption limited to WPA is not ideal. The automatic mapping sometimes lacks precision near complex obstacles. The Connect+ service, which notably activates 4G location and certain advanced features, is included the first year, then billed about €33 per year.

Daily maintenance is minimal. The IP66 certification allows water cleaning directly on the bodywork. A water jet is enough to remove the grass and mud accumulated after a session on wet terrain.

Wheels and Blades

On muddy ground, the toothed wheels clog quickly and need more regular cleaning to maintain good traction. The cutting blades must be replaced from time to time. Two sets are provided in the box, fixed by a simple screw. The frequency of replacement depends on the surface and the type of grass — count about one to two months for regular use.

Removable Battery

Note that the Navimow H210 (and H2 series) battery is removable and replaceable. A good point.

The Navimow 2026 range is structured around four distinct families.

The i2 range targets standard house gardens with two variants: the i2 AWD, which keeps an RTK + Vision system and bets on all-wheel drive for rugged terrain, and the i2 LiDAR, which abandons RTK in favour of LiDAR alone for even simpler installation.

The H2 range, to which the H210 tested here belongs, goes up a notch with its triple fusion LiDAR + Network RTK + Vision, designed for environments that put mono-technology systems in difficulty.

Finally, the X4 range targets large surfaces with 4WD motorisation and doubled cutting width.

The H2 range positions itself as the high-end intermediate choice: more sophisticated than the i2s, more accessible than the X4s.

There are many alternatives. The Anker Eufy E15 is an interesting alternative for a garden up to about 800 m². The Dreame A2 with OmniSense 2.0 targets up to 3,000 m². The Mammotion Luba Mini AWD is the choice for hilly or sloped terrain with 4 driven wheels.
