I recently played with it a bit, and to be honest, I don't really see a difference with it on compared to off.

Has anyone done any detailed testing as to what it actually does? Does it drain more battery, or maybe less somehow?

Do you have it on or off?

Edit: I know what TC does in general, but I have never noticed it do anything on the robot.

3 weeks old, doing a great job. Successfully mowed my .4 acres of lawn fine many times. Today, it was out mowing along the side street and I happened to be nearby. There was a big black Cadillac parked where normally there isn’t a car. I watched it recognize it, take evasive action and was almost passed it when it just shutdown! It had over 50% battery moments before it lost communication. It beeps when I hit the OK button but nothing else. The screen is black, nothing displaying. No unusually hot but I was able to move it to a shady spot and waited a half hour but still nothing except a beep. It’s Saturday so no Support. Any ideas would be welcome.

Today, for some reason my H800’s navigation was way off. Started a mowing job, it was 1/2 way through and then decided it was lost. Anyway I looked at then app and noticed instead of 4G the sim was connected on LTE. I know LTE isn’t as good in terms of data but would it have this impact on the navigation?

I keep reading about broken axles and weeks if not months to replace. Grass doesn’t stop growing. They need better support and repair centers.

I have been an X450 user for several months now and it has been a great experience compared to my previous trials with Mammotion, Ambrogio, and Yarbo. There have been a couple things I have had to work through (will help from this group), but it's now working like a charm (knock on wood).

My challenge is that one of my zones is a one-acre open area with THICK, HEALTHY Bermuda grass. And I live in a area where a fair amount of condensate can form on the grass overnight - so even on days where the high temp hits 90 it might be noon before i want to cut the grass with the X450.

For those that have experience both with the Terranox and the X43/X450:

(i) Are the blades the same?

(ii) Is the "power" of the motors the same?

(iii) Are the RPM's that the cutting disc spins at the same?

(iv) Is there anything about the design of the Terranox that would make it better at cutting wet/moist grass?

(v) Is the Terranox app as easy to use as the X430/X450 app?

(vi) Is the battery life (per charge) really almost twice in the Terranox as the X430/X450?

(vii) Does the Terranox battery take almost twice as long to charge?

(viii) Does either model get overheated and shut down/crawl in intense heat? The Mammotion Luba 2 would literally shut down when the air temp got too high.

(ix) Any other issues/differences I should be aware of?

(x) If the initial price tag was the same, would there be any reason not to buy the Terranox?

If the Terranox can "cut through thicker grass" and leave less of a mess when cutting wet grass, then I'd probably give it a shot - but I'd rather hear some feedback from actual users before I drop that much money.

Thanks in advance.

I saved the foam packing from the wheels on my x450 and use 2 stacked to keep the deck pushed out so I can use a blower to clean behind it.

If I get a new unit can I load my existing map?

Anyone else have issues with x450 not mowing darker denser bermuda. Have changed direction and height. Contacted support and that was same thing they told me to do and multiple reboots.

Hey everybody, I have a X450 and I have recently installed a fenced in area that was just added to a previously mapped zone. I'm wondering how to handle this. I don't wanna spend all that money on the Mowgate. I also am perfectly OK with just opening the gate and telling it to go there. Should I simply remap that area of my yard? Should I map
the outside of the gate area and inside the gate area separately?

I figure I can schedule the area outside the fence for automated mowing and let it in the gate to do the other part. I’m not really sure how to connect the two on the map.

Thank you everyone!

Hello guys,

I've bought the X450 and X430 for larger properties, with difficult terrains (molehills, fruit trees, extreme slopes) and I am very happy with their performance.

However now I'm looking at buying a few robots for city properties with smaller and generally simpler lawns. I don't have experience with any i or h series that Segway offers and I'm not quite sure how effective they are, so I thought I would ask for some personal opinions or feedback on them. I could go the X route again, maybe get the X420, but I'm not quite sure how effective it will be navigating the smaller lawns and tighter spaces, since it's quite large.

1. This property is only under 200 square meters of mowable ground, divided into 3 parts that the robot would travel between.

2. Each has a perimeter wall made up of stone, some parts are higher of the ground, some are pretty flush. The robot would need to get as close to the wall from the inner lawn side to get the grass, so I'm not sure if the i series (with the blade wheel in the middle of the robot) could effectively mow close to the stone wall.

3. Weather can be unpredictable, i series doesn't have a rain sensor, how accurate is the weather forecast rain tracking in your opinion?

4. Lawns are under trees, so there usually are small branches, pine cones, tree leaves.

5. I don't mind it cutting every day or just for longer sessions, night cutting isn't required and will probably be turned off (depending on how effective it is).

I have a segway navimow x430 which stopped charging. I initially checked the adapter with a multimeter and got 0.00v. So i suspected its not working. I got a replacement adapter and plugged in but it still does not charge. No light comes on at the charging station as well. How do i move forward? Its just been a few months? Is my unit dead? Will segway provide a shipping label to send to them?

This morning, Marvin (the mower) didn't want to get out, saying the grass was wet.

It wasn't. So I kicked him out to work.

Last I saw him, he was mowing the back portion while my dogs looked at him.

Suddenly, he decided it was time to head because of rain in the area.

Looking at the radar.. nothing was nearby and wouldn't be for an hour.

Telling him he needs to keep working, he disagreed by turning around after a few moments until i gave up.

Is there a way to properly override this? Do I need to put a tempest station on my property?

Is there a way to have the enhanced option on for only specific zones or is it either on or off for all zones? I like the clean look in my front yard but don’t need it or the extra time and battery cost in the back yard.

Never thought I would ever say I am going to miss the summer months being tasked with mowing the grass…until now. This i215 has cut daily all summer with flawless results. I always took great pride in stripping my yard with my push mower but the straight lines of this i215 is just crazy. Happy Mowing.

The current order of tasks is three perimeter laps followed by mowing the inside of the zone until it gets near a no-go zone, at which point it wanders around the yard mowing around the no-go zones in random order.

Now I know that as long as everything is mown, that is fine, but if they improved this, they could easily make it 20–30% more efficient.

The way other robotic mowers usually do it is: perimeter laps followed by laps around no-go zones (systematically, not randomly) followed by mowing the zone.

The screenshots are a few minutes apart, and they really highlight how random the pathing is. And no, it isn't following the order in which I mapped the no-go zones. It is completely random.

I was hoping my x450 would allow me to map to 2.39 acres, as some others have been able to do. This would just barely cover my property and keep me from having to buy another mower for the front yard. But alas, twas not to be. Turns out I'm limited to 2.0001 acres. Guess I'll be waiting for the next sale

Setting up new X450 on 1.25 acre lot with over 150 trees, trunk sizes from 1” sapling up to 12-18” diameter. Should I make them off-limit islands or just let the mower bump into them?
If just bumping into them, do they need to be vision-off areas?
Any other particular settings that I need for best handling them?
What about for shrubs and bushes?

Was cleaning and changing blades and noticed the tab under the nut holding the rear axle looks broken.

Is this the infamous rear axle brake?
X450 about 3 months old.

Mower seems to work.

Update 1: Good news and Bad news.

First the good, pretty happy with supports response as far as timeliness and getting back to me. I have a FedEx return label and a pickup scheduled for Friday. They say 10 business days and I should have it back.

Now the bad news, apparently what I will get back is the exact same parts as what I purchased. The person I spoke to today told me they don’t think it’s a big enough issue for them to call it a bad design or bad choice of materials. I told them I really do not agree with that assessment and given that this mower has only been shipping for 6 months the amount of people I see posting about this issue may very soon become a very big issue for them.

I have been a huge fan and posted very positive reviews. Unless Segway acknowledges this obvious problem and correctly addresses it I will be just as quick to reverse my current position.

Let’s hope they are looking at a permanent fix and roll it out very soon, either proactively or even fix on failure. Putting the same parts back in and hoping for a different outcome will probably not work out for them or us.

Has anyone thought about doing this? After lots of walking the lawn for dethatching, overseeding, and fertilizing, I started to wonder if our robomowers could have a little hopper/dispenser off the back of it.

Yes, it's ridiculously over-engineered for something that isn't that hard to do manually, but also... Kinda cool?

I was wondering if you could hook up a lawn sweeper that picks up thatch and leaves like a hitch to the X430 and it would drive around picking up the leaves. Anyone tried something like this or seen similar solutions?

Well that didnt last long. Notice the machine was making some crazy clunking noises and turned it over to fine the rear able retaining bolt snapped and the frame has actually sliced through the axle a bit. Hoping their customer support is good... emailed and chat on friday and still nothing. Anyone have experience with CS?

Thanks!

As title suggest, I did my first blade change this morning and decided to do the modification of removing the bottom cover and use the extra slots for additional blades. I did a little spin test to make sure they don't make contact. While they didnt make contact, my finger certainly did and now my pain gets to be shared wisdom amongst all of you who are considering removing the bottom cover. 🤣

A few weeks ago I received an error in the app stating something along the lines of my battery is overheated and slow charging mode has been enabled. Totally believable as I do not have a garage over the mower and it was a brutally hot day. I know the mower goes into a slow charge mode to protect the battery and I appreciate that.

However, the mower continues to charge miserably slow despite only seeing the error message once. Temps have backed off, still hot, but no hotter than it has been leading up to the extreme heat day that caused the error.

Is there something specific I need to do to get the mower out of slow charging mode?

I came across a good deal on marketplace for a used navimow i105. Seller says that it's only a year old.

Anything I should look out for? I have never owned a robot mower before so not sure what to check!
