Our verdict
The i205 AWD is the cheapest way into a Navimow that needs no antenna. It positions by network RTK over the built-in cellular link, fused with a 140° camera that also handles obstacles, and the third wheel is driven and steers a zero-turn pivot: that is what AWD means here. For a flat 500 m² lawn that is plenty; the limits on paper are the 18 cm deck, an hour of mowing per hour of charging at 125 m² a charge, manual height adjustment between 20 and 60 mm, a 4 cm step and a 45% slope rating. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular are built in, PIN lock, GPS tracking and the lift and boundary alarms are standard, and the mower and station carry three years of warranty, the battery two. Weather handling reads a forecast rather than sensing rain, and the cellular plan is free for the first year only.
Pros
- Network RTK with no antenna to site
- Three driven wheels with zero-turn steering
- PIN lock, GPS tracking, lift and boundary alarms as standard
- Three-year warranty on the mower and station, two on the battery
- 59 dB and IP66
Cons
- 18 cm deck and 125 m² per charge: an hour on, an hour off
- Manual cutting-height adjustment
- 45% slope rating and no edge mode
- Cellular plan is free for the first year only
Best for
- Flat lawns up to 500 m² with a clear view of the sky
- A first robot mower where budget decides
Not recommended for
- Steep or terraced gardens
- Lawns under heavy tree cover, since there is no LiDAR to fall back on
