- If you have been looking into robot mowers this is the video to watch. I have been using the Husqvarna 415x automower for the past 6 months and I give you my thoughts in this video.
You can pick up the 430x here: amzn.to/3vC7WMF

Wow, this "mower" video caught my attention! As someone who has been searching for a lawnmower without perimeter wires for ages, I must say the Segway Navimow is a game-changer. Its convenience and efficiency are unparalleled compared to other brands I've come across. Highly recommend giving it a try, you won't be disappointed!
Great video…for the folks that have a privacy fence there is a gate you can install so the mower can go through the gate and keep mowing the back yard….genius idea on the edger for making a trench for the guide wires
Great questions Brian! Husqvarna is currently working on a Bluetooth door that would allow for the mower to go through and latch quickly so dogs can't follow it.
I’m seriously debating getting one of these. I was all set to get the Allett mower because my Honda HRX can’t go below .75”…. But now I know I can never keep up with it. I have three kids under three. Your video about the driveway answered a big question I had. Too bad there isn’t a way to GPS it to the small patches of grass and create a loop some how with a battery of some sort. I also have an iron fence I need to contend with so that may be an issue. Maybe one day Husqvarna will program a way to go back and forth like a Roomba. I wonder if it’s worth waiting a few years for that technology to exist.
They work well with small lawns on low profile lawns . The older Robo-Mower was my favorite and had 5.0 HP . I have a 450 Husqvarna sitting in my garage . Maybe I’ll try it again next season .
I was womdering more about the price to value. Seems like it would take 3+ years to be cheaper than hiring someone to cut the grass.
This video was great. My wife had many concerns and questions and was watching it with me, and you answered literally every question she had. Very thorough video
Thank you sir. I tried to be as thorough as possible without making it an hour long.
Well done vid brett! The lawn is looking great!
Thanks Jordan!
Well I’ll be.. it’s been a while Brett. I see I got some catching up to do on your videos welcome back sir. Glad to see you in the video feed again.
Pretty cool! But I enjoy the mow and my stripes. Maybe in a few years when I’m crapping in diapers and cant get off the porch.
I totally understand that! I'd wager you are in the minority overall when it comes to that though!
As soon as they come out with one that stripes and will do patterns then I'm all in.
I would imagine that is in the works.
Great video, I have the 315X and love it. I see a bunch of comments that people love to mow and I do too. I run mine 5 days a week to maintain the low cut and Reel mow on the weekend for striped fresh look.
I've thought about doing that as well! Thanks for watching stevan!
This is exactly what I was thinking. Like a 1.15" setting, and then reel cut it a bit lower.
I bought a Milwaukee dual battery mower…still boxed up…may have to return it and try this out…love the idea of the fairway package…get ‘er down nice and tight.👍👍
The fairway kit makes it super tight! It gives me the short cut look I like but without the dedication to keep it that way.
I like it for vacations but otherwise I’ll walk it. Mowing is the best part of the week , twice 🤣
Really cool but I personally enjoy getting out and mowing the lawn. Well done Brett! 👍🏼👊🏼
I do as well but I like being in the lawn with the kids more.
@@Brettsgrasscapades when you get old like me and they grow up and move on, you'll realize ya missed it some. 😁
@@Brettsgrasscapades hello
@@PacificNorthwestLawns Who says you still can't mow the lawn? The automower is fully programmable so you can run it an hour a week or 24/7. It's just there to assist you in your mowing
@@stevanvelazquez2043 I don't know? Who did say you couldn't still mow the lawn? 🙄
I never thought I'd see the day that you would use a robot lawn mower
Times they are a changing!
i want one for the backyard!
How would it know not to go in the gravel pit in the middle of my backyard where my fire pit is?
You would have to bring the wire in and create a circle around it then come back out. 2 wires directly next to each other cancels out the signal and allows the mower to cross it but not go into the area you boundary off.
How long does the battery last before you have to buy a new one? What is the cost for the battery. I have battery powered tools, and the price of new batteries are expensive, I can only imagine what the battery costs for this.
Those are great questions and I don't know the answer yet. I will however look into it!
I love to mow but these would be great if u went on vacation or just wanted a day off from mowing. Great video
It definitely frees up a lot of time!
Does it ever get stuck? Does it have a built in weather app to avoid mowing during the rain? Those are the things I'd be concerned about. Pretty cool toy you got there.
There is a learning curve for sure for it and I had to adjust the wires a few times to prevent it from getting stuck but now it's dialed in. I manually tell it to park during rain.
There is a weather setting, it won't run as much during inclement weather
Hey Brett, any word on Husqvarna wireless auto mower for 2023? Also any news on Toro auto mower?
Thanks
It’s the new Husqvarna wireless boundary auto mower
Thanks! Is this the new NERA line?
My neighbor just got one 2 days ago.
It takes a little while for it to really get the lawn trained to look good but once it does it does great!
Have you had any electrical problems with base station/mower or lightning strikes? That's my only major concern putting a huge loop in the ground is the potential for lightning strike to come back and damage the electronics. I know they say to unplug during storms but that is not consistently feasible with life.
Great question! I have not had any issues with that and we are getting into the rainy season here in Florida.

Great video
I'm thinking on buying one but only a boundary wire free model. Competition is already launching it. Maybe Husqvarna will follow (on the more affordable models).
They have the tech in the commercial units and I would imagine they have it in the pipeline for residential as well. The wire is definitely the biggest downside.
My question is does it know if it’s raining ?
If it is raining what does it do?
As of right now it does not know when it raining. I will tell the mower via the app to stay parked when raining but I have to do that manually. However it can mow in the rain and not be hurt or damaged by it.
You said you had it since November so it hasn't been put through the test of Bermuda in peak growth to see how it does
So definitely not through peak peak season but here in South west Florida the grass never goes dormant so it's been mowing actively growing grass.
Great video!
Does the frequent mowing decrease the amount of weeds?
Have you noticed any changes on the lawn needing fertilizer?
I think it will definitely decrease weed pressure since they never will get to grow. As far as fertilizer goes I haven't changed my regimen I fertilize when the lawn looks like it needs something.
1. Will it stop around dog poop or not that sensitive?
2. How long before they retro fit these things for smaller/mid sized yards with a tank to spray liquids....that would be killer lol
Not sure about the poop thing. The solution there is clean up after the dog 😂
It would be pretty snazzy to have a tank to micro feed the lawn.
@@Brettsgrasscapades Unfortunately my wife tasked herself with dog poop and shes about as reliable as an election process in GA. But really interested in this now after your video, they seem really awesome and reliable
Hey Brett, nice video. was hoping you would mention the prices of these mowers. One con you didn't mention unfortunately maybe more for me in Shit-Cago is theft. Very easy for someone to just grab it toss in vehicle and go.
I didn't specifically mention price! The one I showed is about $2000 but they range from about $1000-$4000 depending on the model. I did talk about theft and it has an alarm that sounds once it leaves a certain distance from the base station and it's tracked via GPS.
@@Brettsgrasscapades sorry must have missed that.. thanks for info keep up the great videos..
@@chicagomike2111 thank you sir!
Can they mow both front and backyard if the backyard is fenced? Or would you have to leave the gate open?
There are many people who have made doggie doors for them to pass through and Husqvarna is currently working on a Bluetooth door as well that should be released this year.
That was a great review thanks again brother
Thanks Allen!
@@Brettsgrasscapades I guess Allen gives you a lot of over time so you can't cut the grass anymore lol
@@allensadicario5196 😂😂😂 don't give him any ideas.
I was thinking about one for my backyard. I must be honest, I love that florida weather however your cool season lawn was fire in comparison. I wanted a sample of your Bermuda to try here in NJ. Now that I seen it I'm not sure it would do well or look as good as cool season turf.
Cool.. I like nice and tight grass..mower gets'er done right!
It's really a cool little mower.
No stripes for cool season turf would be a tough one for me to swallow! Can this mower go across the concrete to other areas of your lawn (like across to the parkway and back)?
Yes it can I've got a quicky coming up on that one.
Not the first.
Good camera work at the end, who filmed that?
I did!
🤣🤣
With the smaller wheelbase on these machines, it seems like these would be extra susceptible to scalping. Do you think the ground has to be smooth enough to reel mow or else raise HoC beyond what would be needed with a traditional mower?
I'd say somewhat. My front lawn in definitely not level and it does pretty well but on the smoother back yard it definitely cuts better. It doesn't need to be perfectly flat but the smoother the better.
@@Brettsgrasscapades cool thanks! Keep it up with the content 👌
Pretty cool. I was a little surprised when you said you'd have to change the blades once a month though. I thought they'd last a season at least.
I'm sure you can get away with less frequently but I have it mowing so often they get dull faster.
You could. I used mine for half a season. But i took them of and gave them a new edge with a file 3-4 times. They get dull fast, especially really bad quality ones. But they are so cheap, i buy a 45 pack for $8. So i have 15 blade changes in total for $8. My neighbour changes their blades every week. He really wants that sharp cutting edge. And the last thing you want is a very very used blade that breaks off in your lawn.
So cool. Do you have that freshly cut grass smell all the time then.
😂😂😂 always!
Do the Husqvarna mowers go in random bouncing paths or does it do more of a traditional back and forth? Does it mow the same direction and path each time or is it more random? My Roomba vacuums in back and forth paths, laying almost a stripe, but the vaccums seem to rely more on mapping (wall locations) than most mowers do.
Great questions Phil. It's randomized so as to not leave any ruts from going over the same spots constantly.
【from Hipa】The best parts for your equipments,do you like to test it?
Great video. Do you know if it can mow on slight slopes?
Yes it can handle slight slopes!
It can handle up to 18° I believe but they also make an all wheel drive version that can handle steeper slopes. You could also opt to get the all terrain wheels which have bigger wheel cleats
How does it handle dog poop 🤣
Also doesn't bag or collect, but nice review nonetheless.
No need to bag because the clipping are microscopic there will never be clumps
I couldn’t think of anything worse I mow to get away from the wife and kids 😂
😂😂😂😂
Hello i have a forum (automower forum) feel free to ask question if necessary ❤ Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for watching!
First Aussie 😁
Welcome my friend!
1 😁
Yeaaaah no
The shame.....
😂😂😂 I love this mower!
I never trust a guy who doesn't mow his own yard....
Cool story bro.
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 383 sentadillas son unos SEXTINDER.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesh abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k
They make about as much sense as a Robot vacuum cleaner. It’s for the person that has too much expendable income. They do a shit job.
Did you actually watch the video? These mowers actually do a pretty good job.
