Navigation

Mammotion uses LiDAR. The LUBA mini 2 is LiDAR alone and the LUBA 3 pairs LiDAR with RTK GPS. Neither needs an RTK antenna, according to Mammotion. Navimow uses RTK GPS with a camera. The i105, X330, X350 and X390 need an antenna. The i206 AWD and i210 AWD are listed without that need. Our guide to RTK vs LiDAR vs camera explains the difference.

Area rating is where Navimow wins: the X350 is rated for 1.5 acres and the X390 for 2.5 acres, against 0.37 acres for the LUBA mini 2 and 0.75 for the LUBA 3.

Which fits which buyer

Choose Mammotion if your yard is steep or has dense tree cover. Choose Navimow if you want a lower entry price, a larger lawn, or quieter running. For a small lawn, the Navimow i206 AWD at $899 is hard to beat on price. See the AWD list and the hills list for rankings, or the Mammotion and Navimow brand pages.
