Segway Navimow i208 LiDAR Rated Among Top Wire-Free Mowers in Computer Bild Test

Computer Bild calls it a clear upgrade over the i108, praising precision, usability and safety.

Overview

  • The i208 navigates with LiDAR and a front camera, operates without a boundary wire or external antenna, and auto‑maps the lawn on its first run via a streamlined app.
  • The test reports even mowing with a 22 cm cutting width and six blades, about 110 minutes of runtime per charge, roughly 145 m² covered per hour, and a measured 48 dB(A) noise level.
  • Standard protections include GPS tracking, geofencing and a lift alarm, plus Apple Find My support and one year of built‑in mobile connectivity before an annual fee of about €30 applies.
  • Reviewers noted recurring gaps along edges and in tight corners and the absence of a spot‑mow mode, though overall performance was deemed reliably strong for its class.
  • Pricing starts at €1,199 for the i208 (up to 800 m²), with i215 (€1,399, 1,500 m²) and i220 (€1,599, 2,000 m²) above it, and an AWD variant recommended for steep or slippery terrain that relies on an RTK antenna and omits Find My.
