Title: Great simple lawn robot but a lot of work to install
Review: TLDR: Has worked well for 3 weeks now, but took much longer than the manual said to install, and expect the wire to break at some point and buy a toner to fix it.UPDATE: Now on year 2 of using this mower and all is well, I had a small break in the wire after coming out of winter, but easily fixed and all is working as new!---The Lawn---I bought this robot for mowing my relatively flat lawn, which is approximately 0.3 - 0.35 acres of grass. It consists of 3 areas separated by 5 foot wide passageways, with several islands of landscaping and trees. The outer perimeter was estimated at 1100 ft including all of the islands. The grass is a New England mix of tall grasses, weeds, moss, and clover, recently dethatched and airated.---The Installation---The manual says that installation only takes 2 to 5 hours to install, but that was absolutely a lie for my lawn. Maybe if you have a small rectangular lawns with no trees or beds that you need to outline with an island of boundary wire, but for my lawn it took more like 15 hours. I chose to not bury my boundary or guide wires as I figured I would need to readjust them (which I did). Most of the time was spent measure the distance from obstacles and pegging the wire into the ground. I bought additional wire and pegs before beginning and I am glad I did because although I could complete the outline of boundary wire for my lawn, I only had 10 feet left for the guide wire. I also used a peg every 1-3 feet to keep the wire from poppin up, so ordered an additional 500 pegs. I would highly recommend outlining your area one google maps and then multiplying that result by 1.3 and making sure you have that much wire. Other than the time spent installation is very simple and the instructions are through.---The Robot Configuration---For my lawn which is on the upper limits of the capabilities of this robot I have it set to run 20 hours a day. This ends up being around 12 hours of mowing. I also configured work areas that allow it to cover all of the space. These actually work better than I expected as it's fairly consistent following the guide wire out, and although it only has 3 work areas, whatever percentage of the time not included in the work area configuration it just starts mowing near the charger like a fourth work area.---The issues---In the first week I got 3 alerts from the bot that it had been lifted, what had actually happened was it found slopes or holes at the sides of the lawn where it got stuck. I just moved the boundary wire out a little bit or filled in the hole. I also had the wire break a couple of days ago. I was able to fix this in method outlined below.---Finding and fixing a broken boundary wire---The biggest drawback to a robot like this is the boundary wire can get cut, and although mines only been running for 3 weeks my wire already was cut. To troubleshoot this I highly recommend getting a multimeter and a toner (I used this one because it is cheap https://a.co/d/h7ZeU3q). I unplugged the boundary and guide wires from the charger and used to multimeter on continuity mode to figure out which wire section had the break, in this case it was the right boundary wire. Then I attached the toner using the alligator leads to the broken wire and a long drill bit I screwed into the ground. One can then use the toner receiver to follow the wire and listen for when the beeping toner signal stops. I had to lift the wire up from the ground slightly to hear the signal as I went a long. After about 5 minutes of walking out from the charger along the wire I found spot where the signal stopped and working backwards from there I found the broken wire. I could not have done it without the toner as visually the wire looked perfectly fine, I needed to pick it up and look at the underside to see a creature had bit it in half. Once I found the break I used one of the extra wire connectors to fix it and the bot was back up in 15 minutes. Without the toner I don't know if I would have ever fixed it.---Why I didn't get a RTK GPS bot---There are new bots coming out now that don't require the boundary wire and use GPS but I didn't get one for three reasons.1. They are really expensive2. I have a lot of tree coverage and I don't want it to lose gps and drive into the road or into my pond.3. They don't have the track record that these old fashioned automowers do.---Results and Conclusion---Overall I am very happy with this mower, my lawn is consistently cut and over its near 200 hours of mowing I've only had 4 problems, 3 of which were just setup issues. It cuts the lawn to the perfect height and is pretty much silent (see the video) so it can run day and night. As long as you understand the limitations and work required in setting it up I would definitely recommend it. It's wonderful to relax in the backyard with a drink and watch my lawn work get done for me.

Title: Ok but Not for Bermuda grass. Not working after 3 months!!
Review: Mower works ok and install is same as others. I had an ayi brand mower (now defunct) before so my already installed boundary wire worked fine for this one. I did install the guide wire which I now prefer to get the mower home easier. For the short while I’ve had it absolutely no errors or problems of any kind.However, I didn’t realize that this mower is a “high cut” model. Which means it’s cutting height minimum is 2” and Bermuda needs 1-1.5”. Quality and app seem good but will not adjust to proper cut height for Bermuda. You have to go to other models which are 3 times more expensive. Great mower and app but seems like a big mistake to me to have this model platform to not adjust to .75” cut height.I took mine apart and was able to make mine cut lower. Would be very simple for husqvarna to make a low cut version. Hopefully they will.04-24Mower randomly stays on charger and says parked while in the middle of a mowing schedule. Lots of areas missed in yard. Needs a lot of mowing time but spends the majority on the charger. Battery does not last long enough. Figured out that part of the issue was the weather app smart feature was causing the pause and park issues. Had to turn it off on the website and not through the app.05-24Grass is looking good generally. However, the mower spends to much time charging or going to charger and not actually mowing. Also does not have an edge feature so just randomly mows the boundary leaving edges of yard sloppy.

Title: It is not a 430 series, but useful anyway. **update**
Review: **Update**After dealing with the repeated blocked charging station, we decided to move the charging station. We made a conscious effort to get the front of the station into the ground. Zero charging problems now. Hasn't missed even once. The problem is the little swivel wheels don't handle the bump when driving onto the platform and it gets out of alignment. Get that front lip even with the ground, problem solved. Added one star. It's still dumb, but yard looks great and I no longer need to intervene every day.I have 3 husqvarna automowers running. Front yard (about 1/3 acre), fenced-in backyard (1/3rd acre), and side yard (about 1/4 acre). We have dogs and a large driveway, so need different bots for different parts of yard. I bought a 430x (Harvey) 4 years ago (about $2K at the time) for the front yard. Works like a champ, never had a problem. But, it cuts way too short for bluegrass. Bought a 315 (Hannah) 3 years ago for the backyard, also works great, never had a problem.I saw there was a high-cut model that was affordable (115H) (Humphrey) and decided to go for it. We live on a golf course, so my front yard needs to look nice. Cutting short with the 430 causes my grass to brown out as soon as it gets hot (no self-shading, poor water retention even with sprinkler system, etc. The grass just needs to be longer).Install was like 15 min since we were already set up from the 430x. Just swapped out charging stations and power cords. Man this thing is dumb. The 115H can't find the charging station multiple times a day. Says it's blocked, but it's not, it's literally parked on it! The charging base plastic tower came apart first time it docked. Some large zipties fixed that.I bought the 4G version, but have never got that to work, although I have never contacted tech support.When it does work, it works great, we just have to keep putting him (Humphrey) on the charger. Grass is staying green with the higher cut.Hannah and Harvey work just fine with ZERO intervention.I wish they had a 300 series high cut, I would gladly pay the extra few hundred for that reliability/functionality.

Review: This particular model is pretty effective at mowing a lawn. I've encountered some issues (it can get stuck in places, it needs to run continuously to maintain it's maximum recommended area, it's perhaps not completely autonomous) but after using with it (over some time) and fine tuning the loop wire configuration it really feels like an critical part of a range of lawncare products.Currently I am operating this model on a rural acreage outside Edmonton, AB Canada and it runs well in a variety of weather conditions (rain, lightning, wind) and is very quiet. It's not perfect but it does allow me to keep a good size lawn under control.
