Husqvarna Automower 415X cost around 2700 USD. If you don’t have a boundary wire and guide wire installed on the lawn, you also need to buy an installation kit containing wire and staples. The cost is around 160-360 dollars depending on how much wire and staples you need for your lawn. She currently lives in Devon with her husband and two children, and recently renovated and extended the house. The property was previously a commercial nursery and boasts a half-acre plot, giving her plenty of space to road test the latest lawn mowers, hot tubs and garden tools. In the app you simply press schedule and create time slots for the different days of the week. You can have multiple slots with different time spans and multiple days attached to each slot. Quietness The Husqvarna Automower 415x is virtually silent, which is a big plus if you have hyperacusis (a condition when everyday sounds seem louder than they should), and it could easily run overnight without disturbing the neighbors. Husqvarna Automower 415X is, by lawn capacity, the second smallest robot lawn mower in Husqvarnas premium series of robots (the 400 series). It has a recommended lawn size of up to 16 000 square foot, and is part of the new Husqvarna platform that is rinse proof (IPX5) and slim in its design.

The robot mower can be set to run at any time to suit; it is safe to operate around pets and children, and should it come up against any obstacles it will simply stop, turn around, and continue on its way. Automower® uses 3 pivoting blades to cut the surface of the lawn very little and often – you won't be able to see the clippings – and in turn creates a noticeably different, beautifully finished lawn. Automower® 415X has a cutting width of 22 cm and a height of cut adjustable 20-50 mm. There are settings such as how far you want the robot to travel over the boundary wire before turning around, which is important since you want the edges to be mowed too. There is sadly no edge cutting option, but the “drive past wire” feature will mow the edge anyway so it’s not really a problem.The 2022 version of the Automower 415X (and last years version if you update the software) come with a handy feature named intelligent mapping. It’s a brand new feature where the robot lawn mower analyzes your lawn by GPS and measuring data, and then saves a map of it. You can use that map to create different zones, and each zone can have its individual mowing schedule and cutting height. This means you can have one zone that is temporarily not being mowed at all, and other areas being mowed more or less often.

In the firmware notification, tap Install, or tap More> My mowers on the menu and select Mower Details.You can do the same adjustments to the settings, schedule etc via the display. It has great readability and a user friendly interface. We do however recommend the app since it’s a lot more handy and you also get remote software updates through it. Terrainability and performance

When we add a zone that is outside of the guide wire the robot lawn mower uses the boundary wire to travel to that zone. If we make sure the guide wire is part of the zone it instead uses the guide wire. Sadly it does not seem to make use of the GPS. For Automower® models that communicate with the Husqvarna Cloud only using Wi-Fi, the charging station must be located in an area with Wi-Fi coverage. A positive thing with the guide wire is that it opens up for you to position the boundary wire in very steep slopes or in hard terrain without messing up the “going home” part since it now mainly acts as a “fence”, not a “sidewalk” for your robot. The only time the robot lawn mower will take the boundary wire way home is if it for some reason can’t find the guide wire, or if you program it to use the boundary wire as its main option. It would dig a small rut in my yard, and then send me a notice to the Husqvarna smartphone app that it needed help. I found I needed to make some adjustments in the app and to the boundary wire so it wouldn’t get caught in the same spots. Tap Install to start the installation or Discard to make the notification disappear for now. You can find the installation option again under More> My mowers> Mower Details. Step-by-step instructionsIn the settings area of the app you can adjust the installation fittingly, like changing how far it should drive past the boundary wire (depends on how much edge cutting you want) and what cutting height it should have. If it is the first start of the season you can set a target height and the mower will then start off by mowing at a bigger cutting height and gradually lower it during the coming weeks until it reaches the target.
