Mrs Hole has had her garden redesigned and has been waiting for the newly seeded grass to get firmly established before having her Husqvarna 430X Automower installed.
The long grass is no problem for a Husqvarna Automower. Give it a few days and the grass will soon be neatly cut.
Thanks to the GPS assisted navigation, narrow corridors and a remote area will be cut just as frequently as the rest of the lawn.

Hey guys, do you have a recommended height setting for the 430x to use on transitional zones?
"Very long grass"
* looks out at my yard *
LoL!!!
Why is your grass so uneven before the cut?
Hello everyone. Automower installer here. In order to understand how the Automower works, you can't compare it to a traditional mower because it works differently. Once installed and cutting the grass daily for several hours per day (timer depends on the yard size, it's complexities and type of grass) It then never has to cut tall grass again because the grass never gets a chance to get long. Just like any plant, when you cut more than 10% at one time, you keep the plant in shock and un-healthy. When the Automower cuts 1/8" to 1/4" of the blade length, there are many positive results. The grass gets healthier, you never have dead grass laying on top of the lawn, you dont get thatch buildup, the tiny bits of grass that do drop, turn into food fast and create an even moisture barrier meaning the grass needs less watering. There are even some lawn pests like fire ants and moles that don't like the daily movement of the Automower, so they leave the area being cut. Other benefits include, the lawn is always cut, no more big smelly mower in the garage, the maintenance drops to near zero. Instead of keeping up with the mechanics of a traditional mower, (oil, filter, spark plugs, gas ETC) Your maintanence becomes about $12 per year in new blades and you change them with a phillips head screwdriver. If you do need your dealer, the current heaviest model (cuts 1-1/4 acre) weighs 30 pounds. Just put it in your trunk and take it to the dealer. After 2 years of selling and installing the Automower, the only ones we've had come in are damage from outside sources.
All this said, Automower is not for everyone or every property. If you love to ride or push a mower, Automower is not for you. Some grass types are too much for the current models (the company is working on those) It cuts random, so no striping. (although, even customers who were concerned with lines, are very happy with the carpet-like appearance the Automower offers)
The mower does do what the manufacturer claims. It's funny to read what folks who have no experience have to say about this 23 year old technology. Yep, Husqvarne has been selling them since 1995. Now that there is an app that connects the owner to the mower, sales are blowing up. With a 60 day money back satisfaction guarantee, most folks should be able to consider the chance that the product is the real deal.
I liken it to the microwave, folks didn't think they wanted one, once owned, they do not want to be without it.
Happy mowing.
Does it make nice straight lines?
What the commenters are not realizing is the mower cuts the grass every two days. The grass never had a chance to get high enough to be a problem.
How long does it take to cut your yard?
Too bad it can't mow my yard mine is too big and rugged
It is like a pet dog or cat. Wat is the point of getting one if it can't cut tall grass. I like to mow every 13-14 days.
What a waist of money
LOL thats what you call long grass? In florida this is grass after one day…
Mine is 3 feet long!!
Even the gas mower had problems
