Mowing is not our cup of tea ...

Mowing is not our thing, but should look good but then our 120sqm. So a Lawnmower must be found. But as simple as that not, there are some points to consider and some work before buying. The following applies in fact for all Lawnmower
... Working with limitation cables (seems to me still the most reliable technique)
... Do not go their knives for security to the outer edge

- If already, because already: What good is a robot, but if you need regular trimming the edges with the old mower? So before I expose him, I have to ensure that he at least all 20 cm (better 25) can go out on the lawn edge without getting stuck itself. Edging stones or flat, skiable terrain. He bagged a wheel beyond the edge of the lawn, a somewhere, then he gets stuck, turn off until we put him on the grass. And if we do not change because that happens sooner or later.
- Not every garden is suitable. Narrow places (less than 1.3m), limited by obstacles, he can hardly or not at all overcome. He can not manage to mow right up to obstacles too.
- So I have to live with it, that remain around the tree but are tussock then. No problem to let him go against the trunk, but he has shock sensors, but it cuts just not to ran.
- You have to "live" so that he moves randomly. To believe in the statistics, which he eventually but then travels over the high tussock and not only repeatedly turn over. It works.
- The planning and execution of the garden cabling is not "trivial":
Two tips: The first cable not dig (and set the mower to maximum height to prevent it zerhäxelt the cable). After a few working days you can then easily see where the cable even further towards the outside / inside should (because grass does not move or he is getting bogged down).
Up in a possibly the mower hard to find region Place the charging station the guide wire (narrow passage). It serves not only to find the charging station but can also at the start as "follow the cable rarely / sometimes / always xx meters before you start" can be used.

So why the Automower 305?
- Our 120sqm are very little, even the little robot can do more and even those are expensive (at least was my impression from tests / reviews that there should be nothing "cheaper" than this or the Gardena R40 Li). Luxury is already. We have a Husqvarna service center nearby, so it's become this here. In 3 years, I know how long it will last.
- He's definitely quiet enough not to annoy the neighbors. You have the statement easy to come from us and to press on the beautiful large STOP button if it interferes with some games. But this will hardly happen, because the neighbors say they heard him very rarely, when it is quiet and the wind comes from us. The timing allows you to select individual days of the week and two time intervals per day.
- After some time, completely independently (beginning one must still observe him, perfecting cable positions and so). He controls himself also sent from acute angles back out.
- The company with the most experience (the manual, for example, is very detailed), probably also good with regard to the durability.
- Service Centre network in Dland for repairs (and hints concerning the operation).
- 305 is currently the cheapest of Husqvarna and yet enough for max 500 square meters (but is he any Day 16 hours on the road, a rule of thumb: One hour daily creates 30sqm lawn).
