GARDENA SILENO city Robotic Lawn Mower (15001-41) vs Segway Navimow i105N Robot Lawn Mower
These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
GARDENA SILENO city Robotic Lawn Mower (15001-41)
A small lawn where a buried boundary wire is acceptable and there is no Wi-Fi need
The SILENO city is a wired robot mower for lawns around 2,700 square feet, controlled over Bluetooth rather than the internet. Installation means laying a boundary and guide wire to set distances, and GARDENA's schedule table expects the 250 square metre model to rest 19 hours a day.
Published specifications
- Manual: 55 x 38 x 23 cm, 7.3 kg; 18V 2.1 Ah battery; about 65 min mowing, 60 min charging
- Manual: minimum standby 19 hours a day for the 250 m² model
- Manual: boundary wire 35, 30 or 10 cm from obstacles by their height
- Manual: passages at least 60 cm wide; guide wire needed if a passage is under 2 m
- Manual: isolate slopes steeper than 25% inside the work area; listing claims 35%
- Manual: blade life normally 4 to 7 weeks; 2-year guarantee, blades and wheels excluded
Strengths
- A boundary wire works under trees and in shade where satellite mowers struggle
- Maker publishes exact wire distances, passage widths and install rules
- Bluetooth-only control means no account, no cellular module and no cloud service
Caveats
- The PDF attached to this listing is the manual for a different model, the SILENO minimo
- GARDENA's manual isolates slopes over 25% while the listing advertises 35%
- Blades are a consumable lasting weeks, and they are excluded from the guarantee

Segway Navimow i105N Robot Lawn Mower
A small lawn with an open spot for a GNSS antenna and clear sky above it
The i105N is Navimow's eighth-acre RTK mower: no perimeter wire, but a GNSS antenna you must site in the open and at least two metres from walls and trees. It maps from the app, handles up to 12 zones, and adapts its schedule to live weather data rather than a rain sensor.
Published specifications
- Manual: recommended area 1/8 acre; 60-100 m² per hour; about 90 min mowing per charge
- Manual: 7.1 in cutting width; cutting height 2-3.6 in set by a knob, applies to all zones
- Manual: up to 12 zones; channels the mower passes through must be wider than 1 m
- Manual: antenna at least 2 m from houses, trees and walls, on flat unhardened ground
- Manual: anti-theft alarms and tracking require the separate Access+ 4G module and live service
- Manual: replace all three blades and screws every 1-2 months; blade model HA002E
Strengths
- Assist Mapping lets the camera find lawn edges so the mower maps the boundary itself
- Detailed winter storage and spring restore procedure, including marking the station position
- Weather Adaptive can pause or delay mowing for rain, snow, heat, frost or wind
Caveats
- Anti-theft tracking needs the Access+ 4G module, sold separately, plus unexpired 4G service
- Cutting height is set by a knob on the mower and applies to every zone at once
- Moving the GNSS antenna later means the existing map is unusable and you remap
