How to choose the best robotic lawn mower for large lawns

Why do I need a robotic mower for my large lawn?

Mowing a large lawn often demands significant time and effort. However, with Husqvarna Automower®, you can turn this task into a hassle-free and effortless experience. The robotic lawn mower does all the work independently and will not only save you valuable time and energy but also improve the quality of your lawn by providing consistent, precise mowing. When looking for a suitable robotic mower, always start with the size of your lawn. Each model has a specified area capacity, so selecting a model that matches the size of your lawn is crucial to ensuring the best results. The work area capacity indicates the area it can cover per hour and day when operating at full capacity 24/7. This is important to keep in mind if you plan to only run the mower at a certain time of the day. For example, only scheduling the mower to mow during the daytime so as not to disturb hedgehogs and other nocturnal wildlife at night.  

Robotic mower factors to consider for large gardens

When choosing a robotic lawn mower for a large lawn, it's essential to consider the unique characteristics of your garden. Does your lawn have a lot of narrow passages, steep slopes, or uneven terrain? Husqvarna offers an Automower® robotic mower for every lawn, and as a standard, all mowers work in the rain, manage slopes of at least 25% (and up to 70% depending on mower model) and automatically return to the charging station to charge when needed. Whether you're simply looking for a neatly maintained lawn or desire full control with the flexibility to adapt the mowing to your garden projects throughout the year, we've got you covered. In addition to the key features, there are several additional features designed to meet your specific needs. 

Features to look for 

1. Wire or wire free   

For flexible installations, check out our range of wire free robotic mowers. Then you can enjoy completely customisable lawn maintenance, and you don’t have to worry about wire breakage. A stable internet connection is required, so if your lawn doesn’t have full Wi-Fi coverage, look for a mower with cellular connectivity.

2. AWD for steep slopes 

If you have a lawn with steep slopes, look for an all-wheel-drive robotic mower. Husqvarna Automower® 435X AWD features an impressive slope performance and handles a 70 % (35°) incline. 

3. Save time with EdgeCut  

EdgeCut is an Automower® feature that minimises the need to trim the edges of your lawn. The EdgeCut disc cuts so close to the edges that only a minimum of grass is left uncut.  

4. Control via your smart phone 

Enjoy the convenience of managing Automower® through the Automower® Connect app. From remote control to a range of smart features, everything you need is right on your smartphone..  

5. Selectable mowing patterns 

Automower® with satellite-based technology makes it possible to choose between an irregular mowing pattern for a carpet-like finish, or systematic mowing, creating a visual pattern of your choice (stripes, triangles or checkerboard).

6. Objects on the lawn 

AI vision technology gives our mowers the ability to detect and avoid objects, reducing unnecessary stops. The technology also complements the satellite-based navigation to ensure complete lawn coverage and uninterrupted mowing, even in areas with weak satellite signals.

7. Anti-Theft 

Alarm, GPS tracking, and personal PIN code are features that minimise the risk of theft.
