Hello everyone,

As mentioned above, we want to get a robotic lawn mower to start the spring season.
Which ones do you use, recommend, or avoid, and why?
Does it have to be a Husqvarna, or is a Worx also good enough? Why one and not the other?
I’m very interested in hearing about your experiences.

Best regards
Tarnari

Ooh, a lawn mower topic.
I love mowing the lawn.

We, or more precisely I—I do the mowing—enthusiastically use a Husqvarna mulching mower with a 3.5 HP Briggs and Stratton engine, easy start, and wheel drive. It starts within a maximum of two pulls, handles even the longest vacation lawn, mulches like a robot, and together we cut the lawn short in 15 minutes. It also has a wonderful 4-stroke engine sound. It costs around 380.00 euros. It runs fine on premium fuel, including E10, with oil consumption close to zero.
As long as I can still walk, I don’t want a robot to take that fun away from me. Besides, a proper robot mower is probably twice as expensive.

Sorry, but I really hate this kind of thing. Every other day this noisy machine bothers the neighbors, even though it makes no sense. Hopefully, there will be a ban (where are the Greens??)... okay, just kidding, I don’t like bans, but where is the common sense?

Well, you should definitely address that if a lawn mower already drives you up the wall. That indicates an issue with your nerve system. The first five sessions are free, after which the insurance has to approve further treatment. K.

Here, the mowing Saturdays are getting quieter because the robotic mowers are almost silent, and from Monday to Friday, the organic waste bin doesn’t smell like a silo, so @Tarnari, you should get one of these.

About a year ago, I faced the same decision.

I ended up choosing a Worx L1000. What I especially liked about it was the easy battery replacement. Since Worx uses standard batteries also used in cordless drills and similar tools, you can simply buy a larger battery and, depending on your property, avoid having to recharge in between.

Well, that’s living sustainability. When buying the house, we got both a robot mower for the large garden and a 5-horsepower Honda mower for the front from the 1980s. That thing is pretty loud. Throw it away? Never, as long as it still works.

Five-cylinder Honda from the 1980s. A dream. Bella Machina. It even runs on leaded fuel. Do not give it away!
