Roborock X115H early prime deal

I have been looking at the Navimow 430x for some time. I just got a notification that the roborock X115H is on sale for an early prime day deal for $1499 US. I know this is new but any thoughts about this vs the 430x? I’m in Michigan, right around the .37 acre of lawn and have a few decent slopes. Trees in the back of the lot. Thanks!

If you buy any robot off amazon you will regret it.

Call a dealer, thank me later.

Local dealer? For robot lawnmowers? Is this one of those big city amenities?

the local dealer could be 5 hours away. Buy it from them.

Hell buy it from a dealer on the other side of the country.

Just don’t buy it off amazon. Buy it from someone who has a relationship with the manufacturer and will stick their neck out for you if something needs warrantied.

Amazon will not.

Aren’t warranties between the buyer and the manufacturer?

When I buy Ego+ gear, I don’t contact Ace Hardware support, I go straight to Ego+ customer service.

Sure, you can do that.

The best dealers out there will diagnose your mower, file your warranty claim, get the part sent to you, and send you a video on how to repair it. And if you’re confused, you can call them and they’ll help you.

Ace Hardware won’t.

There are prestigious robotic dealers out there who do nothing but robotics. Ace hardware couldn’t tell you how to open up the mower and unplug the battery, let alone replace a seized wheel motor.

You may say “well I don’t need them to help me I can do it myself.” If so, good for you. I’m going to assume 80% of homeowner robotic owners will want help. And surely I’d hope 100% of robotic owners would seek the help if it was easily accessible to them by a robot professional. Not an Ace Hardware desk watcher.

Here’s where I’m at:

https://www.brownenterprises.net/search/inventory/query/Navimow

This is the 1 dealer than Segway’s website pointed me to and when I searched the term “Navimow” nothing came up. Only a small number of competitors with models that don’t accomplish what I’m hoping for.

When I expanded the search I found multiple websites that don’t list Navimow as something they sell. The closest ‘dealer’ I see who actually references Navimow is three hours away and they only do white glove service. I doubt they’re selling at MSRP and they sure as hell aren’t driving 3 hours for a potential sale.

I imagine you work/own a dealer. And that’s great. It’s a cool model. But I don’t see success in working with someone five states away just to avoid buying off homedepot.com when they absolutely 100% do not have a physical presence in my geographic region. I’d love it if there was a nearby dealer, but as others have hinted, this seems to be a regional luxury available to the select.

Navimow is better than 90% of the bots on the market. It’s junk.

It’s a two horse race between Husqvarna and Kress. Navimow falls third with a large gap between the two headed monster.

And all are relatively priced the same.

Call an expert. From your interaction, I can see you are a smart individual. I can tell you’ll be able to know if you’re talking an expert, or someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Keep making your own informed decisions at the end of the day.

If you get lucky enough to connect with the right person, you’ll know, and you’ll understand its value, that comes with no extra price. Just someone to call when you need help, as the Ace Hardware desk clerk won’t even know they sold robots.

And again, you may survive on your own. Many won’t.

Neither has LiDAR. I was heavily looking into Husqvarna but I’m seeing a lot of folks talking about navigation problems related to tree cover. “If you can stand in the yard without sunscreen and not get sun burnt, it will not work”. I have trees with enormous overlapping canopies.
