Husqvarna are good. Our first one did 7500 hours and it’s replacement is on about 2500 I think without checking. The first one had a new circuit board at one point but other than blades nothing else from memory. The new one has been faultless although we’ve now got issues with the perimeter wire which I think will need replacing but it’s not costly and done 6 years so again a wearing part really. The biggest model will look after about 2 acres at a push but I think it’s to much really.

I've only heard good things about Husqvarna. Like all this tech, seems to be coming down in price all the time.

Installed the biggest husqvarna 450 x this week. Awesome !!!

Between various lawns we have two Husqvarna 450X and one Husqvarna 315x. Simply brilliant.

Got a husqvarna. That was after reading about them on here.
Best thing I ever did.
I hated mowing the lawn especially when it’s red hot.
Such a joy to watch it going up and down.

Ive installed a few and was service trained on them years ago...

How many acres an hour ?

 

[Dave W]

Anyone who doesn't like cutting grass never used one of these

My OCD cannot cope with Robot mowers , I cannot abide the randomness of the waythey dotter round , I cannot cope with the fact they do not do 9 times round then work across the garden in straight lines

Husky 450x on 1 acre here. Second season. Delighted with it. No growth it doesn’t cut, heavy rain or frost it doesn’t cut. Other than that it cracks on!

 

[Steevo]

Very tempted by one here even though only a pretty small lawn. Seems like people on here only rate the Husqvarnas.

Flymo and Stihl have good reviews too.

Worx looks good value but I’m unsure about quality.

Had a friend loved the robot till he fell asleep one day on lawn, woke up bald.........

Neighbour has a jd one, he won it. It looks quite sweet tottering about doing it’s bit of work then heading back to charge up when it gets tired.

I remember reading a post on here or maybe a newspaper site of someone who bought a robot vacuum which went brilliantly until the dog had a bit of an accident on the kitchen floor and robo-hoover spread it all round the downstairs during its daily constitutional.
