6 reasons NOT TO BUY AN AUTOMOWER 2 year REVIEW

In the app, turn off 'spiral cutting' and it will quit doing the circles, add some distance to the 'drive past wire' setting and your collar situation will decrease or resolve. I have two 450X mowers that have logged over 10,000 miles in my yard with no major issues. Probably the best thing ever invented by man!!! The only issue I found was that the boundary wire provided in the installation kit was not up to the task, by the end of the second season I was chasing random breaks in the wire because the elements had broken it down and it basically dissolved. Start with a good 'dog fence' boundary wire and you won't have to deal with the issue.

To be honest, you having one was a (albeit small) contributing factor to me getting one. If JP has one it can't be all that bad. I love my 350HX. Do not have to do every other day cutting. Lawn looks amazing. Everyone stops to tell me how cool it is. I am very happy with the purchase and the look it gives.

I have a 430 X and 2500 square meters of grass with lots of trees and walkways and a little hilly. For three years it has taken care of the grass and absolutely fantastic without any problems whatsoever. Definitely the best investment I've made and worth every penny. But it's clear that if you skimp and buy something that isn't made for the square footage you have, it won't work!

I've had my Husqvarna Solar Hybrid for over 11 years now.. It has no apps or anything. And it has been moving like a champ! The biggest problems I've had is when the cabel around the lawn break somewhere, that is a pain in the ass. If you can't find the problem you will have to put down a whole new cabel... That part sucks!

As always love your videos. Have you considered power rotary scissors for the fringe to give a nice clean cut. ? Can’t live without mine on Bermuda.

Thanks for always giving us the real scoop. I really would like to have one of these things but I just can't find one that meets my needs. My St. Augustine is every bit of 4-5 inches tall and there just are not any mowers, that I have found, that will handle that. I'm in TX and with the unrelenting heat and lack of rain I can't cut it much lower and expect it to live.

I have a 2 1/2 acre lot and have been using two of the 450xh models for going on 6 years now. The PRO's are pretty obvious. The CON's will depend on your lawn contour, obstacles, weather and usage. My best advice to anyone interested in purchasing one is to find a reputable dealer who will come out to your home and assess your situation. This probably isn't something you want to purchase online and setup yourself. The dealer should be able to set you up with the best model for your lawn, and give you insights as to what the CONs will be prior to purchase. The dealer I used set everything up with no hassle. Though I've had my share of problems with the automowers, I would never go back to using a standard walk-behind or riding lawnmower.

Good things to consider , thanks for taking the time to review the concept - cheers JP

Dude, you’re great to watch man, great personality.😂 I don’t ever say that about another dude, but I have to admit man, you’re funny dude. I personally am gonna try to be more like that. That’s funny.

I have one and have used it for three years. One of the best investments I have made. Absolutely love it.

Running the edges can't possibly take the same time as doing the whole thing? What model do you have?

I know nothing about these but i have a walkway it would have to go over is it capable of going over it and what model do you have or do you know of better ones that may have come out since getting yours?Thankyou!

For a garden that size, a 315x is way too small. Rule of thumb for any robomower: the advertised surface in the specs should be double (or more) of the size of your garden. This avoids the mower having to go and charge before it did cover the complete garden taking it very long to mow. Fir the spiral cutting: that is something you can switch off, and for the borders, you can let it cross the cable a bit further to get also the borders cut. The noise you mention: it is normal. And way more silent than a mower with a fuel engine. For the struggling: this is quite a slope. This is one of their smaller versions of mowers. For the issues for getting stuck: husqvarna has a 4WD model too. I assume that one never gets stuck due to the 4 big wheels. I personally have a 450x and it does my garden (which is bigger than what I saw in the video) in just a couple of hours. So it is not mowing 24/7 due to the dual battery system in it. The engine is also much more powerful than the one in the 315x, so no issues on steeper slopes. Is it possible that the model you are using is just a bit underdimensioned for what you want it to do?

I use a Flymo 800 robotic mower. No problem whatsoever. Cuts very nicely for three or four hours each day. It is not made to cut or drive into heavy grass. Charging station never a problem. Some fantastic brands out there including Landroid or if You want cable free Ambroigo or Segway.

Hey, being an Automower dealer and having experience with over 100 of these in NC, I have to say you have the entry model one. If you were to get a different one that runs without the underground cables you can program it it to cut in lines and have access to the 5 blade disk. This year I started offering my own fertilizing and soil treatment program exclusively utilizing your products I do have to say that the combo of Automower+ your products is killer!! I have the experience to recommend the correct model and modifications to optimize your end results!! You have to get a different model John, you’ll spend a bit more but just like your products it’s worth the big bucks ahah

Hilarious. Loved watching. Aussie gal. Never knew these existed! Awesome product. Ahh, to never mow again lol but have a beautiful lawn. Cheers.

Thank you for the video - One question - When it need to recharge, does it pickup where it left off, and how offten the company sends an update for it?

Room and board. I’ve got another mouth to feed 😂. Do like the consistent mowing. Edging takes just as much time as my mowing does.

I live on a farm, and not having to cut grass saves me hours per week. You bought the entry model and want to generalize the entire industry, like buying a Prius and saying cars don't go fast.

I also mow every day, but with a Fiskars reel mower. I keep my grass (KBG/PR mix) around 1.75" and in order to stick to the 1/3 rule, I have to mow every day. I didn't believe it when I was told that mowing frequently will thicken up a lawn and help with weed control. But now that I've seen it, I believe it.
