Review of Husqvarna 410XE Nera lawn mower: Great, affordable price

Life of A reviewer can be difficult. Tennyson once said: “It’s better to love and lose than never to love at all”, but he never had a robot that mowed the lawn. It’s great to try out cool items you could never afford, but after a summer with the Husqvarna Nera, the thought of going back to using a manual lawn mower drives me crazy. Sometimes it’s better not to know what you’re missing.

the Husqvarna 410XE Nera Automatic Mower (£3,097) Just as luxurious and full-featured as a lawn mowing robot. The closest equivalent model sold in the US is likely to be slightly more capable EPOS 450X Package ($5,900). With thoughtful design and satellite navigation, these lawn mowers are designed to be the easiest job solvers, maintaining the specified height of your lawn quietly and efficiently. without complaint—and more importantly, without you having to lift a finger.

Robot war

I can’t see a lawnmower robot without thinking about it female Robot war showbut the Husqvarna design looks smart and classy, ​​with integrated headlights and a large H for the Husqvarna logo like you’d see on the front of a car. The vehicle has two large rear wheels with thick and knobby tires to ensure easy traction on slopes and muddy ground. (It can handle slopes up to 30 degrees.)

Nera’s two front wheels are like multi-directional office chair wheels. They are cleverly set back so that the front edge, which contains three rotating razor blades, protrudes beyond the edges of your lawn and removes the unmown grass edge that most robotic lawn mowers left behind because they couldn’t get close enough.

Even though there’s no need for wires, setting up the Nera 410XE still takes some time because you have to find a good spot for the charging dock and the satellite antenna, connect the two, check that you can get a signal. Is the signal clear and runs the cable to plug everything into the outlet. I received help from a Husqvarna representative, but the process is something you can easily do yourself. The limitation of this lawn mower is that it requires a wide view of the sky. Tall buildings, trees and other obstacles will make it impossible to navigate accurately, so if there is jungle around or near your garden, it is not suitable for you.
