What independent testers found

Findings from published hands-on tests, separate from the manufacturer figures in the table above.

Only Anthbot N8 has independent tests processed so far, so the field-findings comparison is one-sided.

Segway Navimow i2 LiDAR

No independent test has been processed for this model yet.

Anthbot N8

2 independent tests used : home&smart, Tristans Smartes Heim

  • Leaves scattered for the test weren't all picked up per home&smart, despite an otherwise good result on cut grass
  • Detection falls short on smaller objects (under 10 cm/4 in, or colored close to the grass) per Tristan, versus the 100% detection rate home&smart reports on its own course, tennis balls included -- an unresolved disagreement between the two tests
  • Fitted with the bin or deflector, the machine becomes noticeably less at ease in small gardens or tight corners, a finding shared by both tests (nearly one meter/3.3 ft long per home&smart versus 610 mm/24 in for the bare chassis per the manufacturer; the rear bin is the cause per Tristan)

Choose Segway Navimow i2 LiDAR

One to watch if you want LiDAR without reliance on an RTK signal, but the spec sheet is still incomplete and pricing is not set.

Pick it if

  • Mid-size lawns without RTK reliance
  • LiDAR mapping
  • Moderate slopes

Vigilance / Limits

  • Price and availability not disclosed
  • Slope limited to 30%
  • Partial spec sheet

Choose Anthbot N8

Grass-clipping collection that delivers on large lawns, provided you accept a noticeably longer chassis once the bin or deflector is fitted, and an unproven leaf-collection use case.

Pick it if

  • Large lawns with heavy clipping loads
  • Automatic collection with no manual bagging
  • 4G connectivity

Vigilance / Limits

  • Noticeably bulkier with the bin or deflector fitted
  • Leaf-collection use case not yet proven by independent tests
  • App's sweeping/mulching mode selectors have no real effect per one tester
