Husqvarna Automower® 315X Robotic Lawn Mower

You've spent thousands of dollars on this thing, and it can't even keep itself together when it's only used occasionally. And Husqvarna seems to go out of their way to make sure you don't have to use a warranty claim, implying that your initial investment won't be the last of your money spent on this thing. Regardless of what you do, purchase a product from a different company - It'll almost certainly be less expensive, of higher quality, and with better customer service.

I didn't want to be bothered with the installation because I'm older now.   Furthermore, I assumed that a Using a machine that buries the wires rather than affixing them would be a professional installation. as if it were a self-contained unit, to the top of the ground, as if it were a self-contained unit the setting up   My installer did, in fact, bury the majority of the wires. the tangles br>br>I'm going to divide this review into three parts:   Installation, Features, and Operation are all covered in this article. INSTALLATION: br>br> br>Normally, I don't comment on third-party installers in my reviews, but since this one is so unique, I thought it would be worth mentioning. I'm addressing the manufacturer's inclusion (which is reflected in the Amazon sales price). It is discussed in this article.   I contacted Husqvarna to arrange for the installation. They then contacted the installer in my area, who then contacted me to set up an appointment.   Husqvarna is a Swedish company that manufactures a variety In addition, he sent me an email with the installer's contact information as well as a pre-installation checklist. installation of the installation   It is critical that you dial 811 (Call- 911).

It's possible that this step isn't required; However, if there are any potential problems or complexities, it's a good idea to consult a professional. First, go to the location. My installation had a few quirks that I wanted the installer to be aware of ahead of time, so It was crucial for me to go on a site visit.   Unfortunately, the installer refused to come to my house. I'm going to do some prep work at home. He said I lived too far away from his shop (40 minutes) and that the installation needed to be inspected because I lived too far away. The $50 compensation he gets from Husqvarna for a site visit was insufficient to justify an advance visit.   According to him, He could come visit when he got a new job in the area, which he expected to happen in about a week.   I reached out to you. Husqvarna was informed of the situation, and while they were willing to work with the installer to complete the installation sooner, I decided to simply wait after my site visit.   He got a new job in my neighborhood the next day. As a result, he paid a visit to the site the following week. The installer said he could finish the job in two days. We agreed on an installation the following week because I had some preparation work to do. br>br>On the day of the installation, I handed over the entire Automower shipping box to the installer, who took care of everything from there. from there on out He took the mower out of the box, positioned the charge station, plugged it in, and positioned the battery. Charge your mower by plugging it into the charge station.   During the installation, the installer discovered that one of the components was missing. Prior to shipping, one of the charge stations was not properly connected.   He discovered that no screws had ever been used before. factory-installed to keep that component in place   He did, however, have screws on him. used to secure it in place   The installer programmed the basic functions after the installation was completed. Language, country, date, time, and PIN code are all required settings for the mower to function properly.   He  He also showed me how to set up the Automower Connect app for the first time.   It appears that you must make contact with Husqvarna to turn on the mower, so keep that in mind if you're going to do it yourself. install. br>br>The installation went smoothly and was completed in a reasonable amount of time (approximately one hour). 1/2 hour, including time spent talking about how the mower works with me.   My setup was small, with only a few hundred square feet. a total of twenty acres It didn't need any "islands" around flower beds or trees because it was mowed, which saved time and money. the duration of the installation The wire was installed underground by a machine used by the installer. However, not every strand of wire is connected. he was laid to rest   The wires near the charging station, as well as one area where there was a root, They were attached to the top of the ground by a machine that couldn't cut through it.   I also have a spot where I can work.

This isn't to say they shouldn't have been buried in the first place!       Because I had to bury the wires myself, I'm dissatisfied with this.   It must be the case. The wires being on top of the ground isn't a problem for the mower's operation; it's just an inconvenience. Not at all what I had anticipated.   The grass would have overgrown the wires at this point if the wires had been left in place.

'Down the mounds,' says the narrator. FEATURES: br>br> br>One of the mower's features is the ability to program when the mower will start and stop on a daily basis. Its mowing must come to a halt.   The installer recommended that you leave the mower running for two weeks without turning it off. To "learn" the lawn, set aside some time. The mowing time, on the other hand, "should be set to" according to the manual. "Reduce the amount of wear on the lawn and the product. " My mowed area is roughly half of the mower's capacity, so In terms of mowing time, I followed the manual's advice. It's possible that the mower took a little longer than usual. I can live with it taking a little longer to learn the lawn.   A formula is provided in the manual for calculating the number of people. based on the total mowed area, the number of hours the mower should run   That works out to nine hours per day in my case.

This is some truly incredible technology, and if you have the type of yard that allows it to work unattended, it's a must-have. The environment in which you want it to work, and the product hardware and software that determines how it works, are both important factors in a product like this working well for you. It doesn't matter how much software and hardware you have if you don't have a lawn that works well with the Automower's functions. br>br>Ironically, before getting the Automower, we had been gradually reducing the amount of lawn that needed to be mowed in our yard. We now wish we had a large expanse of grass for the Automower to play in after receiving it. br>br>Professional installation is included with the Automower. It took a couple of weeks to get in touch with them and schedule an installation. Husqvarna works with small businesses in the area, which is fantastic. I like that, despite the fact that the mower is shipped from Amazon, we have a local contact to contact if we have any questions. br>br>The installation's concept is a very simple one. A wire, similar to that used in invisible dog fences, is buried just beneath the surface. When the robot crosses the line, it knows it needs to turn around and go in a different direction. The trick is that because the cutting disc is smaller than the robot, the mower must be able to drive partially past the lawn's edge in order to cut to the edges. We have a gravel path on one side of our lawn with a bender board edger, so this is where we get into trouble. Most of the time, the Automower will simply pop the front wheels over the edger and into the gravel in order to cut the grass to the edge and then reverse back over the edging. Unfortunately, that front swivel wheel will occasionally become stuck on the edging, causing the Automower to make repeated attempts to become stuck. As a result of attempting to back up, the mower's rear wheels will either leave deep ruts in the grass, or it will gradually become more stuck, and we will find the mower "out of bounds" and sitting in the middle of the path. br>br>Another corner of the yard has a slight incline, and if it's too wet out, the Automower won't be able to get enough traction and will slide out of bounds there as well. br>br>We're currently redesigning our landscaping to make it more Automower-friendly. Transitioning from a lawn to a non-grassy environment To allow the mower to cut all the way to the edges, the grass must be at the same level. br>br>Aside from the occasional issues with the mower getting stuck and needing to be rescued, we are very impressed with this machine. Even on our less-than-perfect lawn, it keeps everything at the same height all of the time. I can't wait to see how it performs when there is new growth to cut every day during the growing season next spring. br>br>I'm grateful for the unit's built-in theft protection. If you pick it up without first entering the security code, an alarm will sound, and your phone will receive a notification. br>br>It's also great that the Automower has cellular communication, which means you won't have to worry about it being in wifi range. I also like the fact that there isn't a monthly fee. The cellular communication system works well, but communication back and forth takes a few seconds. br>br>Overall, we are very pleased with the "Husqvarna Automower 315X Robotic Lawn Mower" and are looking forward to the amount of time it will save us mowing in the coming year.
