Bought the 3x about 2 weeks ago and I’ve played about 6 rounds with it so far.
I did a lot of research before purchasing and the price point for the features included convinced me to buy it now instead of waiting until spring.
The cart was delivered at no charge in about 3 days, assembly is simple and the only issue I had was that they sent me the wrong umbrella holder (older clunky model) however an email to customer service remedied that and they sent me the new model holder within a week, I was impressed by the Navee customer service and responsiveness.
The build quality of the cart is excellent and it is very solid
At first I struggled with unfolding/folding the cart but soon got used to the mechanism and now it’s very easy.
I use the cart mostly using the remote it is super responsive and manoeverable and works extremely well, no issues at all going up or down steep inclines. The battery life is advertised as 36 holes and at my club it’s using approx 45% on one course and approx 60% on the other which is longer.
I charge the battery after each use (remote also)
There are a couple of negatives but frankly they are very minor for me given the price point for the cart.
The follow mode as others have reported is a little glitchy… a couple of times it has lost connection and just spins around behind you… I’ll get a better appreciation of just why this happens as I use it more.
I have used it in the rain and did notice that with a large umbrella installed the cart is not quite as stable as without, the extra weight just changes the balance… perfectly understandable I think and given I rarely play for long periods in the rain not an issue for me.
All in all I am really loving this cart, I play 4 rounds a week during the season, I’m 69 and don’t feel as tired after a round now as I’m not pushing my rather heavy bag up and down hills.
Only time will tell if the cart will continue to perform well, but as of now I highly recommend the NAVEE Birdie 3x. It has made me wonder why I didn’t do this years ago!
