How do I know which robot I need?+
It mainly comes down to two things: the area of your lawn in square metres and the steepest slope in your garden. Choose a model whose maximum area is a little larger than yours and that can handle your slope; for gradients of up to 70% there are all-wheel-drive (AWD) models. In the catalogue the robots are sorted by garden size (from XS to XL), the ‘Find your robot’ quiz suggests a model in five questions, and at the free visit we measure everything and recommend the exact model.
Boundary wire or EPOS: what's the difference?+
With a boundary wire, a thin wire buried or pegged to the ground marks the edge of the lawn. With EPOS there's no wire: the robot navigates by satellite and the boundaries are drawn in the app; the V models also have an AI camera that steers around objects. EPOS needs a clear view of the sky and, depending on the model, Wi-Fi or mobile coverage across the whole lawn; in gardens with lots of trees or right next to high walls, a wire is usually more reliable.
Is it noisy?+
Hardly at all. Automower® models for the home have a perceived sound level of roughly 56 to 63 dB(A), quiet enough to work at night without disturbing anyone. You'll find the exact figure on each model's page.
Can it mow in the rain?+
Yes, Automower® robots are built to work outdoors and can mow in the rain. If you prefer, you can adjust the schedule in the app so it stays in its charging station when the weather is bad.
What if it gets stolen?+
Every Automower® has a PIN code and a lift sensor, and it won't work without the code. Most have an alarm, and models with mobile connectivity also have GPS tracking, so you know where it is at all times.
What maintenance does it need? And in winter?+
Very little: a clean now and then and new blades when needed. We recommend an annual service and a winter service at our workshop: we give it a thorough clean and a check-over, and come spring it's ready to mow again.
What warranty do they come with?+
According to Husqvarna Spain, the robots come with a 3-year warranty for domestic use and 1 year for professional use.
