Segway Navimow X3 robot mowers charge faster, mow quicker and detect animals better
Segway Navimow X3 Series

You might best know Segway for those two wheelers that make getting around a lot quicker than walking, but the company is also in the business of robot lawn mowers. The H Series launched in 2022, followed by the I Series in 2024, but in 2025, the company has expanded its Navimow range to include the X3 Series, designed for larger gardens and commercial properties. 

The X3 Series includes four models – the X315, X330, X350 and X390 – with each able to handle lawn sizes up to 10,000 meters squared. To put that number into perspective, that's about the size of one-and-a-half football pitches. They come with ultra-fast charging capabilities that enables them to mow 500 square meters from just 30 minutes of charge, while 5,000 square meters can be covered in 24 hours.

the yale assure lock 2 has only grown better with age plus

The Yale Assure Lock 2 has long held a spot on our roundup of the best smart locks. Offering a sleek design, robust companion app, and a multitude of customization options, it's a premium choice that's an easy recommendation for most shoppers. And while some smart locks begin to show their age over the years, the Yale Assure Lock 2 has only grown more enticing.

Part of this is due to its impressive durability — the one installed on my front door has seen more than a few Colorado storms yet remains in pristine condition — but the other reason is Yale's commitment to expanding the number of models in the Assure Lock 2 lineup. I recently had a chance to test out a second, newer version of the Assure Lock 2 that works with Apple Home Keys, and it cemented my belief that it's one of the best smart locks money can buy.
