Husqvarna Automower vs. Segway Navimow: Which Robot Mower Is Right for Your Yard?

Editor's note (September 2026): Mowtion Control now specializes exclusively in Segway Navimow — Husqvarna Automower models are no longer available through us. This comparison remains as a reference for shoppers weighing the two brands.

If you're shopping for a wire-free robotic lawn mower in Kansas City, two brands dominate the conversation: Husqvarna Automower and Segway Navimow. Mowtion Control now specializes exclusively in Segway Navimow with professional installation available as an add-on. But they're built around different strengths. Here's how to pick the right one for your yard.

Navigation — Both Wire-Free, Different Approaches

Husqvarna Automower EPOS uses RTK GPS with an optional fixed base station for centimeter-level accuracy. It's the gold standard for large, open properties and commercial installs.

Segway Navimow X Series uses EFLS (Exact Fusion Locating System) — RTK combined with additional sensor fusion — which helps it perform more reliably in partially shaded yards without a dedicated base station.

Bottom line: Open acreage → Husqvarna EPOS. Yards with some tree cover or shade → Navimow X Series.

Slopes and Terrain

Husqvarna Automower 535 AWD EPOS handles slopes up to 70% (35°) with all-wheel drive — excellent for hilly Kansas City properties.

Segway Navimow X450 AWD also features AWD with strong slope performance, rated for challenging terrain up to 1.5 acres.

Both brands offer AWD models purpose-built for uneven ground. If your yard has significant grade changes, we'll assess the slope during your property consultation.
