Best wire free robotic lawn mowers from Husqvarna
Wire free robotic lawn mowers operate within virtual boundaries instead of physical boundary wires, making the installation more flexible and eliminating the risk of wire breaks. Using the Automower® Connect app, you easily create these virtual boundaries that define where the mower should mow and where it should stay out. The boundaries can be adjusted at any time, making it easy to adapt to changes in your garden. Husqvarna EPOS® is the satellite-based technology that enables wire free mowing. EPOS® uses RTK positioning (Real Time Kinematic) GNSS technology to achieve precise mower navigation. This guide focuses on Husqvarna wire free robotic lawn mowers and helps you choose the most suitable model based on lawn size, slope, terrain, navigation needs and ease of use.

How to choose a wire free robotic mower
When choosing a wire free Husqvarna robotic lawn mower, it's important to select a model designed for the size of your lawn. Looking at the specified area capacity is therefore a good place to start. Satellite signal conditions in your garden are another important consideration, as EPOS and RTK-based navigation requires a clear sky view. However, Husqvarna's latest wire free robotic mowers, equipped with AI Vision technology, can continue mowing reliably even in areas with weak satellite signals.
If your garden includes steep slopes or uneven terrain, choose a robotic mower with sufficient slope capability to maintain reliable performance. It's also worth considering how you want to manage your lawn, as app control makes it easy to set up and tailor different mowing zones with different settings, such as cutting heights and mowing patterns. If you regularly make changes to your garden, flexible stay-out zones can be particularly useful. They allow you to temporarily exclude specific areas from mowing, helping protect spring flowers, newly sown grass or other garden project areas.
