Segway Navimow i210 LiDAR Pro vs Mammotion LUBA mini 2 AWD 1000

Two 1,000 m² all-wheel-drive mowers, one score: the Segway fuses RTK, LiDAR and a camera; the LUBA mini climbs 80% instead of 55% and runs twice as long.

Verdict

Both score 83/100. The difference is what each is built for.

Both score 83 on our engine, both are all-wheel drive for 1,000 m², both position by network RTK with a camera and cut to the edge, and both publish a three-year warranty. Noise is level, 59 dB against 58. The split is between positioning and terrain.

The Segway Navimow i210 LiDAR Pro adds LiDAR to RTK and the camera, so it keeps a fix under trees, and it detects obstacles by fusing the laser with the camera, which takes its obstacle-avoidance subscore to 100 against 79. It cuts 220 mm wide against 200 mm, publishes 20 zones and theft protection with a PIN lock. The Mammotion LUBA mini 2 AWD 1000 is rated for 80% slopes against 55%, runs 150 minutes against 75, publishes a rain sensor, and lists lower.

Choose by the garden. Steep banks and a long single run favour the LUBA mini. Tree cover, clutter on the lawn and a wish for the best obstacle detection favour the Segway, whose three-sensor positioning is the more complete system. On a flat, open, tidy lawn the LUBA mini gives the same score for less money.

Pros
  • LiDAR, network RTK and camera fusion, with no antenna to install
  • Edge mowing and app-set cutting height over 20–70 mm
  • 200 obstacle classes with LiDAR depth, the strongest obstacle claim in the i-series
  • All-wheel drive with an 80% slope rating in a 15 kg machine
  • Edge disc cuts to 5.5 cm from a wall, fixing the LUBA line's old weakness
  • Network RTK with no antenna to site, plus three cameras
Cons
  • 75 minutes and 195 m² per charge on the i210
  • 17 kg, heavy for a 1,000 m² machine
  • Cellular plan costs €29.90 a year after the first year
  • 200 mm main deck, small for anything near 1,000 m²
  • No LiDAR: satellite positioning still needs open sky
  • No passage width stated, and no tracking or PIN lock claimed
Best for
  • Lawns up to 1,000 m² with trees, walls and narrow passages
  • Buyers who want LUBA 3-style tri-fusion positioning without the LUBA 3 price
  • Sloped or uneven gardens up to 1,000 m²
  • Lawns with walls, fences and beds that need a close edge cut

In green: the better figure where the direction is beyond argument, such as more lawn or less noise. Where it depends on your home, nothing is marked.
