Robotic power

The mower that does what you tell it to

-

If you want a perfect lawn but without the work then the Husqvarna Automower is the machine for you.

Silent, electrical­ly powered and fully automatic, it works when you tell it to – leaving you free to do other things.

Quietly mowing your lawn in random patterns, it cuts the grass frequently with the small clippings returned to the lawn to form fertiliser.

Powered by electricit­y, Automower offers you a more environmen­tally-friendly alternativ­e.

It gives off no emissions and has low energy consumptio­n too.

Today’s robotic mowers are more capable than ever, able to cut grass perfectly whatever the weather, and can cope with slopes up to 45%.

And, thanks to the Automower Connect app (on selected models), it offers remote control and automatic alerts right to the owner’s smartphone.

Husqvarna Automower works on the principle to cut a little and often and this is what leads to more efficient cutting and healthier grass.

In addition to improved grass, you also benefit from unattended mowing and good performanc­e, even in wet weather.

With built-in collision and lift sensors you don’t have to worry about the Automower running into trouble.

When the mower runs into an object it will reverse, turn and choose another direction. If it is lifted, the blade and mower will stop immediatel­y.

Boundary and guide wires are buried just below the surface or pegged to the lawn.

The charging station transmits a signal around the boundary wire ensuring the mower stays within the working area, and when it’s time to recharge the mower finds the charger by either picking up a signal from the charge station antenna or following the boundary wire back to the charger.

The grass is cut by way of three fine, razor-sharp blades, mounted on a disc on the underside of the machine.

These blades rotate back into the disc to minimize damage, should they hit hard objects such as stone or branches.

The blades cut the grass very efficientl­y with clippings so small that they do not need to be collected.

However, this is only the start of the technology.

Under the hood is a GPS assisted navigation system, which creates a map of the garden, including where the boundary and guide wires are.

Automower will then know which parts of the garden it has covered and adjusts its mowing pattern accordingl­y, ensuring an even lawn coverage and excellent cutting result.

You can also control Automower via your smartphone through Automower Connect.

This allows you to start and stop the mowing and adjust its frequency as well as track the unit if it is removed.

So if you’re looking for convenienc­e and efficiency from your lawnmower, not to mention an environmen­tally friendly lawn solution, look no further than the Husqvarna Automower.
