This Father's Day Sale From Segway Gets You Up to $200 Off a Robot Lawn Mower
This year Father's Day falls on June 15, which is right around the corner. If you've been wondering what to get the dad or father figure in your life, Segway may have the solution. For a limited time -- June 2 through June 8 -- you can pick up select models of the Segway Navimow i Series i at a reduced rate. Currently you can get the Navimow i105 robotic lawn mower for $849 at Amazon, which is a $150 savings. You can get the same discount on Segway's site -- $849, down from the usual price of $999. The Navimow i105 covers up to 1/8 of an acre of grass, and features AI-assisted mapping and VisionFence image obstacle avoidance. In addition it can climb up to a 30 percent grade. Use the app to check the progress or start and stop the mower. You can also manually adjust the height of the cut between 2 to 3.6 inches. If you need to cover a little more ground, the Navimow i110 is also on sale. You can pick it up on the Navimow site for $1,099 which is $200 in savings. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. With the Navimow i110, you get similar specs to the i105 -- easy control and monitoring via the app, adjustable blade height and the ability to climb a 30% incline. The i110 can mow up to 1/4 acre at a time. In his review of robotic lawn mowers, our home tech editor Chris Wedel noted that the Navimow was great for smaller lawns. "I set up a mowing schedule, and the Segway robot mower does the rest," he writes. "This Navimow saves me about 30-45 minutes of mowing twice weekly. " Why this deal matters Whether it's to save time for relaxing or you're away a lot during the growing season, having a robot lawn mower can be a game changer. But it's no secret that they can be pricey. Saving $100 or even $200 makes a difference. But remember this deal ends June 8 so if you're serious about this mower, don't wait too long.

Your shortcut to a perfect lawn: seven reasons to try a robotic lawnmower
We all know the dream: a vibrantly green lawn, neatly trimmed to a uniform height. But for many of us, this grassy greatness feels out of reach. Whether it's lack of expertise, a shortage of time – or both – it's easy to end up with a lawn that's overgrown and patchy rather than green, pleasant and inviting in these warmer months. But it doesn't have to be that way. Miimo*, Honda's range of intelligent robotic lawnmowers – described by one online reviewer as 'simple to set up and a great investment' – is here to save the day. Smart and robust, Miimo will not only cut your lawn, but actually help make it greener, healthier and more vibrant. If you've never had a robotic lawnmower before, your head is probably full of questions, like: is it safe around pets? Where do you store it, and do you need a PhD in robotics to make it work? Worry not. Here's everything you need to know. When the job's done or Miimo needs to rest and recharge, it takes itself off to its very own docking station. Miimo's docking station can be placed wherever is most convenient – whether that's on a patio, in a quiet corner, or even tucked behind a bush. Whether your garden has slopes, narrow passages or trees in awkward places, Miimo is up to the challenge – able to tackle inclines of up to 25 degrees, while a shortcut wire means it can navigate passages as slim as 60cm. And if there are areas you want Miimo to avoid mowing, with some models you can set a 'free zone' and it'll steer well clear. Miimo knows exactly what your lawn wants, so you don't have to stress the detail. From its smart timer, which accesses real-time weather reports to work out the best time to mow, to fertilising your lawn with its micro-mulching technology, which distributes tiny grass clippings across the area. And yes, its efficient, logical mowing means you'll get pristine stripes too. During installation, a discreet boundary wire will be laid around the perimeter of your lawn, so Miimo knows exactly where to mow with millimetre-level precision – and won't ever end up in your freshly planted border. Best of all, it's designed to learn your garden's layout and create its own mowing schedule. Miimo has been created to play well with others – so whether your garden is full of footballs, ornaments, pets or children, it's safe. Its 360-degree bump sensors mean that if Miimo detects an obstacle in its path it will change direction – and rapid-reaction lift sensors stop the blades if Miimo is picked up. Miimo's security features mean you'll always have peace of mind. All Miimo mowers are fitted with a security alarm that triggers if it's lifted; clever Miimo then locks down, and only restarts once a unique code has been entered. 'Live' models also have GPS tracking, so you can see where your Miimo is at all times via the Mii-monitor app. Miimo is fully autonomous, so you can simply set it up and it'll get to work – maintaining your lawn like a pro. Want more control? No problem. Whether you're home or away, you can always check in with your Miimo using the Mii-Monitor app. Or with some models, you can start, stop, and review Miimo's mowing schedule using voice commands via Amazon Alexa.
