I had the chance to test out my first ever robot lawn mower in 2019, and while I did enjoy the convenience of not having to slave under the sweltering sun, I realized it wasn’t that efficient at its job. Furthermore, it required a professional to install the boundary wires to keep the mower on my lawn. Thankfully, there’s finally a model that takes the next step in making robot lawn mowers smarter and more efficient.
The Automower 450XH EPOS is Husqvarna’s first residential model to feature GPS-assisted technology to break free from the wired boundaries that contained previous models. I’ve been testing it for more than two months now and was surprised most by how much different it performed versus the Automower 430XH I tested out a while back. Since it features a new technology, it does come at a steep cost. Read the rest of my Husqvarna 450XH EPOS review to see if you should drop $5,900 — yes, you read that right — on this robot lawnmower.
