  1. I value my time and my maintained lawns at my own home and my rental properties. Having been cutting grass regularly for 40 years. The four Husqvarna 310 automowers I now use are a true asset to my life. These are money well spent. They are efficient at cutting, efficient on power, nearly silent and always on time. Seldom do you get service like that. They cut and I don't have to rely on anybody, no noise on a Sunday afternoon while my tenants are enjoying their backyards because I'm rushing to get it done. Tenants are not reliable for lawn maintenance. A fresh carpet lawn always. If you like your old gas mowers and ride ons, that's great,. I done all that. My life keeps on getting better . Work smart.

  6. I am utterly shocked that they 1. use a boundary wire, 2. use dumb tech, 3. use bump and go $rand direction. Those three things are fixed for $15 of chips (a cmos and proc) and would cut expenses by near 90% by plotting an efficient smart way to mow the lawn and using it's CMOS to view ahead for obstructions and 'learn' your yard as well as 'remember' where it's been so it doesn't mow the same spot. So for the sake of $15 they're costing you ten times more than necessary. Which sounds bad enough – but consider how many tens of millions of these things are out there. That's irresponsible in the extreme. Imagine a car costing you $100 a week forever when it could cost $1 all so they can greedily pocket $15 once.

  8. Crap background noise (music?) completely distracts from what was being said – beats me why video makers feel that they have to put sound which distracts from what is trying to be said – leaves one questioning their mentality

  9. Expensive, unreliable, weak, and over-priced. Keep trying, because I'd love to have one!

  11. Has anyone else noticed that the lawns that are being "mowed" don't look like they need any attention at all? And those little two inch wheels on the front? That's not gonna cut much more than the first cut of rough on a golf course, never mind a real lawn. Any depression more than an inch deep will trap the mower. It certainly won't cut grass in the South where St. Augustine or other heat resistant strains grow. But if you have a rye grass putting green in your back yard or a fairway that needs a touch up, this is your robot. I'll wait for the practical robot. These models literally just won't cut it in Texas.

  12. It looks like it throws the cut grass back on the ground which is not ideal

  13. Why is there a boundary wire? What is this the 80s? Check out the Terra T7 with no wires to bury! My biggest question is how can this trim the grass along the edge of your driveway or sidewalk?

  14. I’m into robotics but if you think a robotic mower is better you must be complete dickhead

  16. I'll keep my v-twin riding mower thank you 🙂 picks up leaves and everything else.

  17. I had a crazy idea that I dismissed as not doable. The concept was underground ‘weed wacker-like’ heads. Set up like sprinkler heads. They pop up pneumatic pressure, weed wack a 10” circle in 15 seconds. Then retract. Then the next ‘zone’ cuts crossing over missed spots. It won’t work, but it would make a great video animation. The whole yard (and pets and ankles) cut in 3 minutes.

  18. Great presentation of a robotic lawnmower and all is true. I've had one for 15 years. Now i bought Husqvarna Automower 315X. Even better mowing results.

  19. Does anyone know what the mower with the "heavy fixed blades" is? I'd prefer that one so I can also mulch up leaves in the fall

  21. Surely they don’t last that long the number of hours these guys clock up ?

  23. I will first get a house with a lawn, and then this lawnmower. Saw one yesterday. That lawn was flawless…

  24. My robot uses GPS no wires to lay down, just enter address into mower and off it goes.

  27. what would happen in the fall when you have lots of leaves on the ground overnight

  28. Why are these tests and comparisons always done on already cut lawns?? You never get to see the actual cutting.

  32. Well no. Get rid of the sensor wire and install a camera on the robot that can distinguish between grass and non grass. Simple. I'll wait for that innovation which will be there soon without doubt. No wires – just an algorithm like the I-Life.

  33. Unfortunately, the battery mowers in the CR test didn't leave a clean cut. They tore the grass like a dull mower.

  34. That has to be the worst accent ever, and I'm swedish (same as the muppet in this video). But it made me and the Mrs laugh. ? That aside, Husqvarna really is the best automower out there. ?

  35. Some robot mowers leave stripes cause they are mapping the surface and never go the same spot as those low quality models which are "idiots" and ping pong everywhere.

  39. news flash most people love the stripes.. from a traditional lawn mower. I see robot mowers becoming popular , but some of this and other videos have a lot of bs in them. You still have to line trim.. edge.. blow and clean up leaves, dog crap and kids toys that are left in the lawn. They have a place, but I don't think they are "better" than traditional mowers. They save you time no doubt and you can achieve a possible higher quality of cut with less human efforts. I am looking forward to the mowers I'm planning to test soon! I am not a techie, but if I can get what I'm after with robot mowers I will start using robot mowers.

  41. No mention about maintenance? How long does the batteries last before needing to be replaced?

  42. How about putting a solar panel on it so it doesn’t have to go back to the charging station. When it gets low it just shuts down until the sun has sufficiently charged it back up.

  43. all the youtube videos I've seen on these mowers r only used with one type of grass. I would like to see how it operates on the three types of saint augustine bahia and other types of grass in all wheather conditons
