## What reviewers found

### Segway Navimow X390

- Pro Tool Reviews: Tested the X390 on a multi acre property with 4 zones and 3 channels. Mapping took under 30 min, it handled narrow paths, wet grass and minor slopes without slipping and dodged toys and beds. Early passes left uneven spots that improved later, and a hilly, thick grass run covered 43% (6,131 sq ft) before a recharge. [Source](https://www.protoolreviews.com/?p=182885)
- Notebookcheck: Testing the X3 series (X315 unit), it called the line one of the best robot mowers of 2025: reliable mowing, systematic paths and near flawless camera obstacle detection. Downsides were high standby power use, the need for an RTK antenna and a high price, with the X390 listed at $4,999 RRP.

### Yarbo Y40 Core with Lawn Mower Pro

- Tom's Guide: Tested the Yarbo Pro mower on about an acre for roughly a month. Mowing was strong, it climbed a steep backyard incline and rarely hit obstacles, and blades stayed sharp. Setup took an entire weekend and Wi-Fi was unreliable, so the tester ran an Ethernet cable through a window. Verdict: overkill for most homes. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/i-tested-the-yarbo-pro-robot-mower-heres-why-it-wasnt-worth-the-hype-for-us)
- Stuff (4/5): Used the Yarbo Core with the standard mower module (20 in, two discs with five blades each) for a few months. It mowed the whole garden in about 2 hours and came back with 40% battery. Setup is involved and module swaps are heavy. Note this was the classic mower module, not the Pro. [Source](https://www.stuff.tv/?p=963636)
- GStyle Magazine: Used Yarbo with its lawnmower module for a mowing season. It handled slopes and uneven ground, and weekly updates improved it, but GPS signal dropped at random, it hit a car once and was hard to pull out of mud. The module variant was not named.
