Set it and forget it: Navimow robotic mowers at CES 2026 treat you and your lawn right


Few things ruin a weekend morning faster than the sound of the lawnmower next door. But noise is just one of many pain points associated with yard work, along with the time commitment, constant maintenance and physical effort that makes even routine lawn care seem intrusive. As homeowners and property managers seek quieter, more hands-off solutions, robotic mowers are increasingly becoming a practical alternative, rather than a new concept.

Navemo It places itself squarely in the midst of this transformation. At CES 2026, they showed off robotic mowers that aim to make lawn care chores a thing of the past, featuring smarter navigation and advanced handling, so your lawn is taken care of without you having to think about it. The X390 was also chosen as a CNET Editor’s Choice for Best robotic lawn mower.

This week the company unveiled five new robotic mowers at the conference, covering a spectrum from small residential yards to large commercial spaces, including golf courses and schools. The focus is clear across the range: easy setup and gentle turf handling, even on steep slopes, tight corners or uneven terrain.

Approach the “Drop and Cut” setting.

For many years, robotic lawnmowers promised automation but brought complexity. Many previous systems required homeowners to install boundary wires or outdoor antennas, making setup a labor-intensive project.

Navimow says its 2026 lineup is getting closer to an actual “drop and cut” experience. The new models are based on a multi-modal mapping system that combines RTK network, solid-state LiDAR, and real scene mapping to automatically map arenas without perimeter wires or a dedicated RTK antenna. Setup is handled through the Navimow app, where the mower learns the lawn layout on its own.

“At Navimow, innovation isn’t just about adding new features, it’s also about simplifying life with technology that runs seamlessly in the background,” Navimow CEO George Renn said in the company’s CES announcement. “By combining intelligent automation with our latest advances in navigation and control, we are turning lawn care into something people no longer need to think about.”

The i2 AWD, i2 LiDAR and H2 Series use high-resolution LiDAR technology to map your yard in detail so you can see and adjust mowing zones right from your phone, at any time.

Grass-first design and smart features

A stronger, more powerful mower doesn’t automatically mean a healthier lawn. High-powered models, especially those that turn sharply, risk tearing up grass, digging into soft soil and leaving potholes behind. The company states that its latest mowers have been designed with lawn care as a top priority.

Navimow mowers combine the lawn-safe Xero Turn drive system, independent front-wheel steering, and adaptive blades to glide through sharp turns and steep grades. This means straighter lines, smoother movement and a perfect cut without stressing your lawn at all.

This approach is particularly evident in the updates made to the X4 series, Navimow’s flagship models for large residential squares. Available in two versions, the X430 ($2,499) for up to 1 acre and the

Dual 180W cutting motors and adaptive cutting discs help the X4 models maintain cut quality even in dense grass. Their dual-mode steering system allows for turn-like maneuvers without tearing up the grass. Navimow says the mower can cover up to one acre in about 14 hours, aided by a quick recharge and a 43cm cutting width.

Smaller arenas, same laissez-faire philosophy

Navimow hasn’t forgotten about ordinary homeowners either. The updated i2 series is designed for smaller lawns but borrows many of the same ideas. i2 AWD models start at $999 and cover up to a quarter-acre, using all-wheel drive and traction control to maintain stability on uneven or sloping yards. Triple-frequency RTK mode delivers centimeter-level accuracy, while an energy-efficient third wheel extends range by up to 30%.

For more complex residential layouts, the i2 LiDAR model adds a 3D mapping system that scans at approximately 200,000 points per second. It’s designed to navigate under tree cover, across narrow paths and even at night, identifying obstacles as small as a centimeter – including pets and hanging garden equipment.

Noise is another focus. Most models operate in the 58-62 dB range, which is quiet enough to operate without disturbing the neighbors.

Expansion of commercial real estate

For larger projects, the Terranox series is aimed at commercial use, including golf courses and large managed properties. Designed to cover up to six acres, Terranox combines all-wheel drive with independent steering motors and Navimow’s EFLS 3.0™ navigation system, which integrates RTK, VSLAM and inertial odometry for hands-free deployment and fleet management. VisionFence tools are designed for obstacle detection and 360-degree remote monitoring for professional operators managing multiple units across large spaces.

A calmer future for lawn care

Looking at the full lineup, Navimow’s CES 2026 mowers look less like flashy gadgets and more like practical, low-maintenance helpers. They take care of keeping your garden healthy and stress-free on the weekends.

“Our mission is to free homeowners and professionals alike from the task of manually mowing lawns at the right time, while our technology quietly delivers optimal results and healthier lawns without the work,” Ren said.

Navemo The mowers will be available for pre-order starting January 16, 2026, with an additional 10% discount on pre-orders only.
