Husqvarna Automower evaluation part 2 –The very first cut is the Deepest
Last time we left the mower driving off its charging dock to calibrate itself then set about its very first cut (if you haven’t already, then inspect out Part One).
Before the robot shown up our yard was freshly mowed utilizing our faithful Rider 15T, our second Husqvarna ride-on mower as well as one that’s been supremely capable, dependable as well as a enjoyment to own as well as use.
This whippersnapper will have to perform well to thrill us.
The Automower 430X has an RRP of £2,500 however the ride-on mower that it’s currently taking the location of has an RRP of £4,600, so there’s prospective for cost savings in money in addition to time here. Automower costs variety between £1,000 as well as £3,000 depending upon the size of the lawn you requirement to cut.
Will the new tech beat old faithful?
All robots mowers are mulchers (as is our ride-on). They cut the grass into a fine mulch that falls to the soil, assisting to retain wetness as well as feed the lawn. The Automower in specific aims to cut just a small piece off each blade of grass and from all angles.
With a cutting width of 24 cm the Husqvarna 430X is suggested for lawns of up to 3200m2 , our 2700m2 falls quickly within this. It cuts with 3 pivoting stainless steel razor blades as well as the cutting height is adjustable from 60 mm down to 20 mm.
A Bot named Elon
Oh, as well as our bot has a name, Elon, after a specific personal hero (Mr Musk). It likewise makes kinda sense when spelt as E-Lawn, as in our electric yard mower, get it? Blade Runner was a close 2nd, Robots, Blades, Cutting, Blades of Grass, running round cutting it, never mind, Elon it is
Get Down
Our dealership suggested we begin off by letting the bot work 24/7 in an effort to get the yard into much better shape whilst letting it discover the entire area too. The built-in GPS on this design maps the garden enabling the machine to determine whats been cut as well as what still needs to be done.
The advice was also that ideally we should get the machine cutting down to level 4. We had to begin off at a 6 as well as set the machine to run constantly day as well as night. After only 44 hours on the screen (into the third day) the household had already noticed a modification in the look of the lawn.
After 6 days we utilized the electric height modification to drop to level 5 as well as ran for one more 6 days before finally dropping to our target level 4, where the machine is working now.
Husqvarna state the typical mowing time is 135 minutes before the mower has to return immediately to the dock for a 65 minute charge. We’ve discovered those figures to be quite area on.
The maximum incline it can cope with is 24° (45%) as well as while we’ve nothing near that if you online on the side of an Alpine slope you should be great (430X dimensions are as follows: H 30.8 cm x L 72.1 cm x W 55.8 cm, 13.2 kg).
The before as well as after shot – taken 2 weeks apart
Good development Already
So after the very first 2 weeks the Automower has put in over 170 hours as well as the yard already looks noticeably much better as we work towards that ‘carpet’ effect. when whatever is right down to level 4 we’ll be able to back it off from its present frenetic pace and set it to a more leisurely schedule with the timer function. In the meantime here’s the second part of our video evaluation (please like, share as well as subscribe – thanks)…
