H2 series (H206, H210, H215, H220, H230)
Navimow's wire-free mower for mid-sized lawns, with no aerial to put up. Three tests found it finds its way reliably, but automatic mapping needed a manual tidy-up and it still leaves a strip at the edges.
The short version
The H2 is the second generation of Navimow's original H series, and sits between the smaller i2 mowers and the big four-wheel-drive X4. The big change is how it finds its way: a laser scanner, satellite corrections sent over the mobile network and cameras work together, so there's no wire to bury and no aerial on a pole. It maps the lawn by itself, drives with two rear wheels and is rated for 45% slopes. In the US it comes as the H210 and H220; Europe gets four sizes from the H206 to the H230.
The trade-off is polish rather than performance. Testers found the automatic map needed a manual check before it cut edges and corners properly, and the software threw some errors early on. Navimow claims it trims within 5cm of walls, but every tester still reached for a strimmer. The mobile data service is free for the first year, then renews annually. It's on sale from $1,799.
Our take: Worth buying if your lawn is a few hundred square metres, has trees or buildings that upset satellite-only mowers, and you don't want an aerial in the garden. Three tests found it reliable once set up. Expect to correct the automatic map and to keep strimming. If your lawn is steep or lumpy, the all-wheel-drive Navimow i2 AWD or X4 grips better. If edges bother you most, the Ecovacs GOAT A1600 LiDAR PRO has a trimmer built in.

What reviewers found
Three home tests, all of the smallest European H206. Notebookcheck used a pre-production unit, IOTDomotica ran it for over a month on a small lawn, and Basic Tutorials tested it with a dog about. All three found it navigates reliably without an aerial and liked the app. All three also had trouble with automatic mapping at first. They disagree on obstacles: Basic Tutorials saw it avoid everything, while Notebookcheck had it run over a tennis ball every time. Nobody could skip the strimmer, and the bigger models' battery life is untested.
Notebookcheck, hands-on, Aug 2026 (tested on the H206; Tested on a pre-production unit) · IOTDomotica, hands-on, Just over a month, Jun 2026 (tested on the H206; Tested on a 60m² lawn) · Basic Tutorials, hands-on, May 2026 (tested on the H206E)
Finds its way without an aerial
This is the main reason to buy it. Notebookcheck found the laser-and-satellite navigation made a good impression: it mowed the whole test area and went back for patches it had missed because of moved objects. Basic Tutorials was impressed by how precisely it navigated, and IOTDomotica had it mow its lawn reliably, working round a shrub that hangs over the grass. None of them had to find a spot for a satellite aerial, which saves real faff in gardens with trees or tall buildings.
Check the automatic map
Automatic mapping is the feature to be wary of. Notebookcheck's pre-production unit wouldn't start it at first, and once going it drove into a hedge. Basic Tutorials couldn't get it to start either and mapped by hand instead. IOTDomotica's mapped in minutes, but left edges and corners uncut until the boundary was corrected once in the app, after which the missed strips largely disappeared. Plan on driving the edges yourself or checking the map after the first mow.
You'll still need a strimmer
Navimow says it trims within 5cm of walls and fences, per the specifications. The testers weren't convinced. Notebookcheck saw a fairly wide strip left along edges because the blades sit about 10cm in from the side, and found cutting right to the edge only works where it can drive over a flush border. Basic Tutorials rated the edges good but not good enough to put the trimmer away. It cuts cleanly across open lawn, which Notebookcheck had no complaints about.
Good at spotting things, mostly
Basic Tutorials reports it reliably avoided a football, plastic hedgehogs and a real dog. IOTDomotica threw a ball in front of it; it turned away, carried on elsewhere and came back to mow round it later. Notebookcheck had mixed results: it spotted a toy hedgehog every time and stopped at a garden hose, though it touched the hose once while turning. A neon-yellow tennis ball was run over every time, which the tester blamed on low contrast against the grass. Pick up small balls first.
Some early software hiccups
IOTDomotica had a firmware update fail on day one, then repeated laser errors when starting from an optional mower garage, probably because the roof blocked its view. Navimow supplied a fix within two days. Basic Tutorials saw occasional short drops in the connection between app and mower, sorted by reconnecting. Both still rated the app highly, and Notebookcheck called it one of the best on the market: clear, intuitive and not overloaded with options.
Quiet enough, thirsty on standby
Notebookcheck measured about 60dB, neither loud nor among the quietest, and IOTDomotica found it relatively quiet next to other mowers it has used. On one charge Notebookcheck's H206 ran for about two hours and covered roughly 300m². It drew about 13W sitting fully charged on the dock, which pushed its estimated energy use up. IOTDomotica found wet grass cut less cleanly than dry, so it used the setting that stops it mowing in rain.
This page covers the whole H2 series. All three reviewers tested the smallest European model, the H206; Notebookcheck's was a pre-production unit. The larger models share its body, deck and navigation but have bigger batteries; their run time and lawn coverage are untested.

Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Does it need a boundary wire?
No wire and no aerial. It combines a laser scanner, satellite corrections over mobile data and cameras, per the specifications. IOTDomotica had the basic setup done in about five minutes, but, like Notebookcheck and Basic Tutorials, found the automatic map needed correcting or replacing with a hand-drawn one.
Does it need a clear view of the sky?
Less than most satellite-guided mowers. Navimow says the laser takes over under trees and at night, per the specifications, and Notebookcheck notes it's less bothered by shade from trees and buildings. IOTDomotica did get error messages when it started under the roof of a mower garage, until a software fix arrived.
Will it cope with my slope?
It's rated for 45%, or 24°, with its two rear wheels driving, per the specifications. Notebookcheck thought that's enough for most gardens but not the best at hills. IOTDomotica's lawn was mostly flat with small height changes at the borders, which it handled well. Nobody tested it on a steep bank.
How close does it cut to the edge?
Navimow claims 5cm from walls and fences, per the specifications. Notebookcheck found it left a fairly wide strip because the blades sit well in from the side, and Basic Tutorials still needed a trimmer. Where the lawn meets a flush path, it can drive over the border to cut right up to it.
Is there a subscription for 4G or anti-theft?
The mobile data service that carries its satellite corrections and tracking is free for the first year, then renews annually, per the specifications. Basic Tutorials reports the same arrangement in Europe. Anti-theft features include a lift alarm, geofence alerts, GPS tracking and Apple Find My support.
How noisy is it for neighbours?
Navimow quotes 60dB(A), per the specifications. Notebookcheck measured about the same and called it neither loud nor especially quiet. IOTDomotica found it quiet enough to run regularly without worrying about the neighbours, and Basic Tutorials compared it to a normal conversation.

Testers found it struggles on steep slopes and in narrow gaps.
YUKA mini 2 1000
A smaller laser-guided mower that navigates confidently under trees and through narrow gaps.
It struggles on steep slopes and may leave a strip along raised edges.
