FAQs

How accurate is the GPS on the Automower? ›

Automower® X-line mowers:

These mowers utilise GPS-assisted navigation, ensuring a precision level of 3–5 metres or 10–16 feet.

The Husqvarna Automower can traverse over paved sidewalks and driveways. While you can bury the boundary wire in grassy areas or other landscape materials, you cannot bury it in concrete. However, the wires can be run along the seams in your driveway.

Lifespan of Automower® cutting blades

Main disc blades have a lifespan ranging from 3 to 6 weeks. EdgeCut disc blades usually last between 9 to 12 weeks, as they are only active during edge cutting.

In theory, as all the parts on a robotic lawn mower are replaceable, they should last more than 10 years. The key to making sure your Husqvarna Automower lasts is to ensure it is properly installed by a professional and is serviced annually by an authorised dealer.

Robotic Mowers Require More Maintenance Than Normal Lawnmowers (Con) Since robotic mowers are constantly in use, they also have to be cleaned a little more often than normal lawnmowers. In addition, the blades of robotic mowers with blade discs must be replaced approximately every 1 to 3 months.

Nearly everyone who is considering a robotic lawn mower worries about having their new machine stolen, but in practice, there are only a small number of reported incidents of theft.

Having an Automower® can make long grass a thing of the past. By design, the Automower® keeps the lawn at the desired height, which means the lawn never grows high. The cutting height can be set via the control panel on the machine or via the Automower app.

Automower® is designed to be able to cut grass come rain or shine.

In the summer, keep both cool-season and warm-season grasses slightly taller. Cut cool-season grasses to 3 or 3 ½ inches. Mow warm-season grasses to 2 or 2 ½ inches. In summer, grass can be kept a bit higher to prevent weeds, help shade the soil line, and maintain water in the soil.

How much does it cost to install a Husqvarna Automower? ›

The installation starts at $795. Costs will vary depending on the size of your property. Installation means that the Automwer® will be 100% functional upon completion.

In weighing the costs and benefits of robotic lawn mowers, it's essential to consider the value the offer beyond just financial savings. While they don't directly save you money, they provide convenience, environmental benefits, and the satisfaction of having a well-maintained lawn without all the ahassle.

How much yard can it mow? The Automower^® can mow up to 2 acres of grass. If you have more than 2 acres we can install several units to accommodate as much grass as you mow.

Electricity costs for the robotic lawnmower

Assuming a device with a motor power of 20-25 watts, which is in operation for 10-12 hours a day, the monthly electricity costs will run between 6-8 kWh.

The GPS unit is normally accurate to within two meters Circular Error Probability (CEP), and the accuracy is further increased through algorithms built into GPS Insight. Analysis of the GPS information provided by GPS Insight yields an accuracy rate of approximately 99.88%.

Over the course of many miles, all of these little errors and squiggles can start to over-estimate your actual distance, typically by around 1-3%. So your 26.2 mile marathon might end up showing as an extra 0.25 mile or 400 meters longer than reality.

GPS receivers that use the L5 band have much higher accuracy of 30 centimeters (12 in), while those for high-end applications such as engineering and land surveying are accurate to within 2 cm (3⁄4 in) and can even provide sub-millimeter accuracy with long-term measurements.

GPS satellites broadcast their signals in space with a certain accuracy, but what you receive depends on additional factors, including satellite geometry, signal blockage, atmospheric conditions, and receiver design features/quality. For example, GPS-enabled smartphones are typically accurate to within a 4.9 m (16 ft.)
