i220 LiDAR Pro
3 independent reviewsRead the findings →The biggest version of Navimow's all-wheel-drive, laser-guided i2 mower. It suits big, sloping, shaded lawns, navigating accurately and climbing well. You'll still need a strimmer, as it can leave up to 20cm uncut along borders it can't drive over.

Feedback
What reviewers found
Three home tests, all of the 1,000m² i210 LiDAR Pro, which shares this model's body, sensors, drive and cutting deck. TechRadar, Notebookcheck and Basic Tutorials all found navigation accurate and the cut neat, and all three say edges need trimming. Notebookcheck had automatic mapping work first time and saw it climb the full 55% on a test ramp. Small objects split them a little: TechRadar saw it dodge a small rubber ball, while Notebookcheck usually saw it run over a tennis ball.
TechRadar, hands-on, Apr 2026 (tested on the i210E LiDAR Pro; Tested on a 170m² lawn) · Notebookcheck, hands-on, Aug 2026 (tested on the i210 LiDAR Pro; Tested on a lawn just under 300m²) · Basic Tutorials, hands-on, Jul 2026 (tested on the i210 LiDAR Pro)
Cut quality and edges
Mixed resultsOn the i210, which shares the i220's 22cm deck, all three got a neat cut in parallel lanes but say edges need trimming. TechRadar found about three inches left by solid borders, and Notebookcheck saw up to 20cm.
Setup and boundaries
Reviewers rate it highlyThere's no aerial. On the i210, which has the same laser, camera and app, Notebookcheck had automatic mapping work first time and Basic Tutorials had it running in 20 to 25 minutes. TechRadar mapped by hand because of rough borders.
Navigation
Reviewers rate it highlyAll three praise the i210's laser and camera navigation, which the i220 shares. TechRadar saw centimetre accuracy on a lawn ringed by big trees, and Notebookcheck saw straight lanes covering everything. Nobody has tested coverage of 2,000m² on the i220's battery.
Slopes and rough ground
Reviewers rate it highlyThe i220 has the i210's all-wheel drive and slope rating the specifications. Notebookcheck saw the i210 climb its full rated slope on a test ramp without damaging the lawn, and Basic Tutorials found the drive a real help on slopes and uneven ground.
Obstacles and safety
Mixed resultsThe i220 uses the i210's camera. TechRadar saw the i210 turn away from a dog toy and small rubber ball, and Basic Tutorials found most things avoided, but Notebookcheck saw it usually run over or touch a tennis ball.
Weather
Not enough evidenceNo review we use reported it in actual rain. Basic Tutorials found the drive helps on wet ground, but that's grip, not rain handling.
App and software
Reviewers rate it highlyOn the i210, which runs the same app, Basic Tutorials found it remarkably detailed, with per-zone heights changeable mid-mow, though setting mowing direction is fiddly. TechRadar liked changing cutting height from the app.
Upkeep
Not enough evidenceNo review we use has reported on cleaning or blade changes yet.
Reliability and support
Not enough evidenceNo review we use has run it long-term or judged Segway's support. Every test used the i210, so the i220's larger battery is untested.
Value
Not enough evidenceOnly TechRadar judged value, finding the i210's price competitive against pricier flagship mowers. No other review we use weighed the price.
Verdicts come from independent, hands-on, finished reviews. An area needs at least two of them before we say more than “Not enough evidence”. We don't score robots ourselves. How this works
Accurate, even in the shade
All three reviewers praise the navigation. On TechRadar's lawn, ringed by tall shrubs and big trees, it followed the mapped edge with centimetre accuracy, never straying into the flower beds. Notebookcheck found the laser worked flawlessly, with straight lanes covering the whole area. Basic Tutorials describes it using lawn edges, paths and fences as reference points, mowing in parallel lanes and changing direction each time. None of them saw it lose its position under trees.
Easy setup, with automatic mapping
There's no aerial to put up, just the dock. Notebookcheck had automatic mapping work flawlessly: the mower drives out, spots the grass and follows the lawn edge by itself. Basic Tutorials had it running in 20 to 25 minutes, including a firmware update, and found both mapping methods worked, with manual mapping more precise at tricky edges. TechRadar mapped by hand because of rough borders, and found the single steering front wheel needs a gentle touch.
Grips on slopes, turns without scars
All three wheels are driven, and the front one steers. Notebookcheck saw it climb the full 55% claimed on an artificial-turf ramp and turn without damaging the lawn. Basic Tutorials found the drive a real advantage on slopes and on wet or uneven ground, with no ruts from turning. TechRadar says the pivoting turn is a bonus where shade leaves the grass thin and less established.
Edges still need a strimmer
The 22cm cutting disc sits in the middle of the mower. TechRadar found it leaves about three inches of grass beside solid borders, though you can map over flush paths so it straddles them. Notebookcheck saw it keep about 10cm off the lawn edge, then leave more than 10cm again because of where the blades sit: up to 20cm uncut where it can't drive over the border. Basic Tutorials calls its edge cutting good for a mid-range mower, but not top-notch.
Obstacles: good, small balls vary
TechRadar put out a dog toy and a small rubber ball, and it turned away from both. Notebookcheck saw it stop at a safe distance from a hedgehog dummy and a garden hose, but it usually ran over or touched a tennis ball. Basic Tutorials found watering cans, toys, furniture and pets reliably avoided, with tennis balls occasionally missed. TechRadar still wouldn't trust any robot mower to avoid dog mess, so clear up before it runs.
The i220's battery is untested
Every test used the i210, with its 5.1Ah battery. TechRadar's 170m² lawn took two charges on the slower precision setting, and Notebookcheck got about 200m² per charge. Navimow rates the i220 for 470m² per charge against 195m² for the i210, and TechRadar suggests the i220 for anyone who wants a lawn that size done in one go. None of the reviews we use has tested how long the i220 actually runs, or how it copes with 2,000m².
All three reviews tested the 1,000m² i210 LiDAR Pro (TechRadar's UK i210E). It shares the i220's body, laser and camera, all-wheel drive and cutting deck; the i220 differs in its battery and rated lawn size.
Our take
Should you buy the i220 LiDAR Pro?
Best for: Steep or uneven lawns shaded by trees. Skip it if: You want a mower with independent tests of this exact version.
consider it for a big, sloping, shaded lawn that the i210 can't cover in one go. Under 1,000m² the i210 does the same job, on flatter ground the plain Navimow i2 LiDAR is enough, and the Ecovacs GOAT A1600 LiDAR PRO has a string trimmer if tidy edges matter most.
The i220 LiDAR Pro is the biggest version of the Pro model that tops Navimow's i2 family, rated for lawns up to 2,000m². Over the plain laser-guided i2 it adds drive to all three wheels, including a front wheel that steers so it can turn on the spot, and it's rated for steeper slopes. It finds its way with a laser scanner, a camera and satellite corrections over the mobile network, so there's no wire or aerial. The i210 Pro is the same mower with a smaller battery.
Every test used the smaller i210, which shares this mower's body, sensors, drive and cutting deck. All three praised its navigation. TechRadar found it followed its mapped edge with centimetre accuracy on a lawn ringed by big trees, and Notebookcheck saw straight lanes covering the whole area. Notebookcheck had automatic mapping work first time and watched it climb its full rated slope on a test ramp without damaging the lawn. All three say edges need trimming, with Notebookcheck seeing up to 20cm uncut where it can't drive over the border. On small objects they differ, as TechRadar saw it turn away from a small rubber ball while Notebookcheck usually saw it run over a tennis ball. Navimow rates the i220 for 470m² per charge against 195m² for the i210.

Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Does it need a boundary wire?
No wire and no aerial. It maps with a laser scanner and camera, helped by satellite corrections over the mobile network, per the specifications. Notebookcheck found automatic mapping worked first time on the i210, and Basic Tutorials had it running in under half an hour.
Does it need a clear view of the sky?
Not really. The laser lets it navigate under trees, through narrow passages and at night, per the specifications. TechRadar tested the i210 in a garden shaded by tall shrubs and big trees and found it followed its map with centimetre accuracy.
Will it cope with my slope?
It's rated for 55% (29°), per the specifications, more than the plain i2 LiDAR. Notebookcheck saw the i210 manage the full 55% on a test ramp, and Basic Tutorials found its all-wheel drive a real help on slopes and wet ground.
How close does it cut to the edge?
Not all the way. TechRadar found about three inches left beside solid borders, and Notebookcheck saw up to 20cm uncut where it can't drive over the edge. Mapping the boundary over flush paths helps, TechRadar says.
Is there a subscription for 4G or anti-theft?
Network corrections are free, and the first year of 4G data is included, per the specifications. After that, Basic Tutorials says remote access and theft tracking need a paid yearly 4G renewal. TechRadar rates its alarm, PIN lock and Apple Find My tracking among the best security going.
How noisy is it for neighbours?
Very quiet. Navimow quotes 59dB(A), per the specifications, and Notebookcheck measured under 55dB from about a metre away. TechRadar calls it near-silent, and wrote much of its review on the patio while it worked.
Alternatives
Other robot lawn mowers to compare.
i2 LiDAR (i208, i210, i215, i220)
Why consider it: The same laser guidance and app for up to 2,000m², and four reviewers praised its tidy lines and quiet running.
The compromise: It's rated for 45% slopes, and edges still need a strimmer.
RockMow Z1 LiDAR
Why consider it: Laser-guided with four-wheel drive and rated for 80% slopes; testers found it climbs and turns superbly.
The compromise: It runs over low objects and stays well back from edges.
GOAT A1600 LiDAR PRO
Why consider it: Laser-guided for up to 1,600m², with a string trimmer on the side for the edges.
The compromise: It struggles on steep slopes and in narrow gaps.
