Mammotion Luba 2 AWD vs Segway Navimow i105E
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Robot Lawn Mowers: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Luba 2 AWD is the most capable all-rounder here, going wire-free while still conquering slopes and large yards that stop other mowers. For a smaller, flatter lawn, the Navimow i105E delivers most of the wire-free convenience for a lot less money and hassle.
Mammotion Luba 2 AWD
Buy itAn all-wheel-drive, wire-free workhorse that shrugs off slopes and big lawns most rivals won't touch.
- All-wheel drive rated by Mammotion for slopes up to 80% (38.6°), with suspension that clears obstacles up to 80 mm
- RTK-GPS navigation means no boundary wire to bury; you map the yard by walking it once
- Rated for 1,000 to 3,000 m² (about 0.25 to 0.75 acre) and up to 60 mowing zones
- GPS tracking, owner authentication and out-of-zone app alerts for anti-theft, plus app scheduling
- Leans on RTK with open sky; Mammotion says its AI vision covers up to 300 m without satellite signal, such as under trees
- Mammotion claims zero-distance edge cutting, but states under 5 cm precision along walls, so some trimming remains
- App and firmware occasionally need a reboot or update to behave
Segway Navimow i105E
Buy itThe easiest wire-free mower to live with for a typical suburban lawn, at a sane price.
- RTK positioning paired with a camera-based virtual fence keeps it inside the lines without a buried wire
- AI-assisted mapping for setup, and a stated 58 dB(A) noise level
- Camera vision helps it slow for and steer around people, pets and obstacles
- App control, IP66 rating and GPS tracking with out-of-zone alerts, though anti-theft needs the separately sold Access+ 4G module
- Built for smaller lawns (0.125 acre in the US); larger properties need a pricier model
- Slope ability (30%, 17°) is modest next to all-wheel-drive rivals
- Still needs clear sky for RTK and leaves edges for you to finish
