Yet they too exist, the robots that take care of our gardens. The Automower 415X belongs to this category, a product that we have had the opportunity to test in the field and that has proved to be as effective as it is technological.

Husqvarna Automower 415X: how is it made?

Husqvarna Automower 415X it’s a robot lawn mower rather light and compact, designed not to step on the lawn and not to compact the grass.
The small size guarantees maximum maneuverability even in small gardens, thus allowing him to slip in and operate and even in narrow passages without difficulty.

All this, however, does not imply fragility. On the contrary, we are faced with a solid and well-built product, able to last over time and equipped with a front bumper that allows it to resist collisions. There is also the IPX5 certification for water resistance; this allows it both to resist cleaning through a classic water barrel and to always remain outdoors, regardless of the weather conditions. For more the rain does not stop him: Even if it rains for several consecutive days, Husqvarna Automower 415X continues to cut the grass and keep your garden tidy.

But how to cut? Simple: using the pivoting blades, in carbon steel, mounted on a disc system and positioned in the lower part of the robot. Moreover, the blades can be easily replaced by removing the screw that holds them fastened to the disc with a screwdriver.
The lower part of the 415X also houses the four wheels necessary for its movement, with the rear ones being much larger and doing most of the work.
On the front instead we have gods far LED which make it perfectly visible even at night. On the other hand, you can decide whether to use them only at night, only in the evening, both in the evening and at night or if not to use them at all. In addition, these same lights start flashing in the event of a malfunction, so as to attract your attention.

What does all this mean in practice? Well, for example, you may decide to have an area where the grass is never cut to grow wild flowers. Or you can choose to have the mower run in a specific area every day. Or again, you might have an area where the grass is at a different height than the rest of the garden.

Husqvarna Automower 415X charging base review 1.1.10

Inside the Husqvarna Automower 415X package you will find the base for charging, base that you will need to connect to perimeter wire.
What is that? IS a thin wire that is buried and with which you delimit the operating area of your little robot. It is as if you created virtual walls that, together with the GPS, help him to orient himself better, both when he mows the grass and when he has to go back to the base to recharge thanks to the additional guide wire.

Does everything seem very complicated to you? In reality this is not the case. In fact, the Husqvarna specialist dealer can take care of the installation and, with his own experience, will carry out the installation in a workmanlike manner.

How does it behave in the field? Really very good seeing that can operate in any condition without having to intervene. After a few days you will forget about his existence, even though he is active practically every day.
Yes, because the 415X – like other Husqvarna robotic lawnmowers – doesn’t intervene once in a while to bring the grass back to human size. It works every day, according to the schedule established by you and according to the needs of the garden. This means that it does some of the work every day, keeping the height of the lawn constant.

If you are wondering what happens to the micro-residues, the answer is “nothing”.
There is no bag or compartment in which they are collected and which you must then empty. In short, it is not like a robot vacuum cleaner.
The cutting residues (we tend to speak of a few mm or cm) fertilize the soil and increase the density of the grass itself, helping to make your lawn better.

But that’s not all. Husqvarna Automower 415X change cutting mode by itself, then it switches from casual to systematic when dealing with narrow passages. There is also a spiral mode that activates when the 415X finds areas where the grass is taller, so it can uniform it to the rest of the garden in a super precise way, while the spot mode is used to cut precise areas, such as for example the one positioned under a table or under a deckchair.

We also particularly appreciated the silence of this robotic lawnmower: you won’t even notice you have it, even when you are in the garden sunbathing.

Finally, we would like to point out to you compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant so you can even use the voice controls, even if, for now, not in Italian.
