How do the 14 Husqvarna Automower® models compare side by side? 

The table below compares all 14 models across eight key specifications. Each model appears on its own row for clean, direct comparison. 

What does working area capacity actually mean? 

Working area capacity is the maximum lawn area a robotic mower can maintain when operating continuously. Real-world capacity is lower on complex or narrow lawns. 

• Working area capacity tells you how many square meters the mower can cover on a continuous, seven-day schedule 
• It is the most important starting specification when comparing models: a mower with insufficient capacity delivers inconsistent mowing results 
• Stated capacity assumes a straightforward, open layout and actual performance varies with garden complexity 
• Narrow passages, multiple lawn sections, steep slopes, and frequent obstacles all reduce effective coverage 
• Across the 12 models in this comparison, capacity ranges from 400 m² (Automower® Aspire™ R4) to 7,500 m² (Automower® 450V NERA) 
• Always choose a model whose stated capacity slightly exceeds your lawn size to allow for layout complexity and flexible scheduling 

What is the difference between wire free and wired Husqvarna robotic mowers? 

Wire free robotic mower models use satellite-based virtual boundaries managed through an app. Wired models use a physical boundary wire. The key difference is flexibility,  wire free boundaries can be adjusted easily via the app as required.

Wire free models (EPOS®-based): 

• Use Husqvarna EPOS® satellite technology to navigate within virtual boundaries 
• Boundaries are created and adjusted through the Automower® Connect app and no physical wire required 
• Virtual boundaries can be updated directly from your smartphone 
• Selected wire free models include AI vision technology and an onboard camera that detects and avoids obstacles 
• AI vision technology also supports navigation in areas with weak satellite signals, ensuring full lawn coverage 

Wired models: 

• Use a physical boundary wire installed around the lawn perimeter to define the working area 
• Adjustments to the mowing area require physical changes to the wire 
• A more fixed installation, better suited to lawns with a stable, unchanging layout 

Why does slope performance matter when comparing robotic mowers?

Slope performance tells you the steepest gradient a mower can handle reliably. On flat lawns it rarely matters. On sloping gardens it determines whether the mower can maintain traction, navigate accurately, and deliver a consistent cut. 

• Maximum slope performance is expressed as a percentage, the vertical rise relative to the horizontal distance. 
• A higher percentage means the mower can handle steeper gradients. 
• Most Husqvarna Automower® models in this comparison handle slopes between 30% and 50%. 
• The Automower® Aspire™ R4 handles the least demanding slopes up to 25% (14°). 
• The Automower® 435X AWD NERA handles the steepest slopes up to 70% (35°). It is the only All-Wheel Drive model in this comparison. 
• If your garden includes slopes above 50%, the Automower® 435X AWD NERA is the only model in this range with sufficient traction.

How do the cutting systems differ across the Husqvarna range? 

The three key cutting differences across the range are cutting width (16–24 cm), cutting height range (20–70 mm), and EdgeCut availability for reduced manual edge trimming. 

Cutting width: 

• Determines how much grass the mower cuts in each pass 
• A wider cutting deck reduces the number of passes needed on large, open lawns 
• On smaller or more complex gardens, width matters less, navigating takes more time than cutting 
• Cutting widths in this comparison range: 16 cm (Aspire™ R4) to 24 cm (Automower® 450V NERA and Automower® 430V NERA) 

Cutting height: 

• Determines how short or long the grass can be maintained 
• Minimum cutting height: 20 mm across most models 
• Maximum cutting height: 70 mm on the Automower® 435X AWD NERA 
• Always check the product specification for the exact range available on your chosen model 

EdgeCut: 

• A rear cutting disc that mows closer to lawn edges than a standard cutting deck 
• Significantly reduces the amount of manual edge trimming required after mowing 
• Available on: Automower® 410VE NERA, Automower® 405VE NERA, Automower® 310E NERA, Automower® 305E NERA
• If minimizing trimming time is a priority, these are the models in this comparison that deliver it

What are the connectivity differences across the Husqvarna range? 

All models support Bluetooth® for local app control. Wi-Fi adds home network monitoring. Cellular connectivity enables full remote access from anywhere. Which connectivity you need depends on how you prefer to manage your mower.

All Husqvarna Automower® models support app control, but the available connectivity varies by model: 

• Bluetooth® only (e.g. Automower® 315 Mark II): Control the mower when within approximately 10–30 metres. 
• Bluetooth® + Wi-Fi (e.g. Automower® 308V, 312V, Aspire™ R6V): Monitor and adjust from home via your Wi-Fi network. 
• Bluetooth® + Wi-Fi + Cellular (e.g. Automower® 450V NERA, 430V NERA, 410VE NERA): Full remote access from anywhere, with real-time notifications and GPS theft tracking. 

Security features also vary by model and may include PIN code protection, GPS theft tracking, geofencing, and an alarm system. 

Most common Husqvarna model comparisons 

Automower® 450V NERA vs 430V NERA: what is the difference? 

The Automower® 450V and Automower® 430V are identical in technology. The only difference is working area capacity: 7,500 m² for the 450V versus 4,800 m² for the 430V. Choose the 450V only if your lawn exceeds 4,800 m². 

Automower® 410VE NERA vs 315 Mark II: what is the difference? 

Both cover up to 1,500 m², but the Automower® 410VE NERA is wire free with virtual boundaries, while the 315 Mark II uses a physical boundary wire. Choose the Automower® 410VE NERA for flexible boundary management; choose the Automower® 315 Mark II for a straightforward, fixed installation. 

Automower® 435X AWD NERA vs 430V NERA: what is the difference? 

Both are large-lawn wire free mowers. The Automower® 435X AWD NERA adds All-Wheel Drive and handles slopes up to 70%, compared with 50% for the 430V NERA. Choose the 435X AWD NERA only if your garden has slopes above 50% or particularly challenging terrain. 

Automower® Aspire™ R4 vs Aspire™ R6V: what is the difference? 

The Automower® Aspire™ R6V is the more capable model across every specification, wider cutting width, steeper slope handling, AI vision technology for obstacle detection, and wire free installation. The Automower® Aspire™ R4 is the right choice for simple flat gardens where budget is the priority. 

How to use this comparison to choose the right model 

When applying the specifications above to your own garden, consider these seven questions: 

1. How large is your lawn in m²? Match or slightly exceed the model's stated area capacity. 
2. How complex is the layout? Narrow passages and multiple zones reduce effective capacity. 
3. Do you want wire free or wired installation? Wire free offers flexibility; wired offers simplicity. 
4. Does your garden have steep slopes? Check the slope % matches your garden's steepest gradient. 
5. How important is obstacle handling? AI vision technology reduces unexpected stops on cluttered lawns. 
6. Do you need edge cutting? Models with EdgeCut reduce manual trimming time. 
7. How do you want to control the mower? Choose Cellular connectivity for full remote access.
