The lifetime of a reviewer will be powerful. Tennyson as soon as mentioned, “’Tis higher to have beloved and misplaced than by no means to have beloved in any respect”, however he by no means had a robotic garden mower. Attempting out superb devices you may by no means afford to purchase is superior, however after a summer time with the Husqvarna Nera, the considered returning to a guide mower has me distraught. Generally it’s higher to not know what you’re lacking.
The Husqvarna Automower 410XE Nera (£3,097) is about as swanky and feature-packed as robotic lawnmowers come. The closest equal mannequin offered within the US is the marginally extra succesful 450X EPOS bundle ($5,900). With a considerate design and satellite tv for pc navigation, these lawnmowers are designed to be the last word hands-off chore busters, quietly and effectively protecting your garden regulation peak with out criticism—and extra importantly, with out you having to elevate a finger.
Robotic Wars
I can’t see a robotic mower with out serious about the Robot Wars show, but Husqvarna’s design is smart- and classy-looking, with built-in headlights and a big H for the Husqvarna logo like you’d find on the front of a car. It has two big back wheels with thick, knobbly tread to ensure easy traction on slopes and muddy ground. (It can handle slopes up to 30 degrees.)

The Nera’s two front wheels are like multidirectional office chair casters. They are cleverly set back so that the front edge, which contains three spinning razor blades, overhangs to extend out over the edges of your lawn and eliminates the uncut grass verge that most robot mowers leave behind, because they can’t get close enough.
Even though there’s no need for boundary wire, setting up the Nera 410XE took a wee while, as you must find a good position for the satellite aerial and charging base, connect them both, check you can get a clear signal, and run cable to plug everything into an outlet. I had the help of a Husqvarna rep, but the process is something you could easily do yourself. The limitation of this mower is that it needs an open line of sight to the sky. Tall buildings, trees, and other obstacles will prevent it from navigating accurately, so if you have dense woods around or near your garden, it is not suitable for you.
