I work at a public park where these are used over night times. I have yet to see one stuck when I open in the morning. We also basically hide their stations in flower beds, and they know how to get out of those without destroying the flowerbeds. Neat to understand how these work.

finaly some og tested content

Once you go robotmower you Will never go back. My old 2010 HQ AC220 is passing 9000h work hours! Insanely reliable!

I am so glad you did this video. When you went to the Robot Cave, my first thought was, "Grant would have loved this."

I just recently discovered this channel and im so happy i did because when mythbusters ended i was a little kid but still watched every episode. Im not kidding i was bawling over it. 😂 Love thia content keep making these entertaining videos😊

Have a 450x, last 7 years. Best thing we have ever bought in our lives, other than a marriage license. Heat stroke and broken ankles are not as much a risk since the robot. More actual work can get done outside, instead of trying to keep up with the walk areas/pointless vegetation spaces. Wish durable effective robot mowers were more known. So many people stop and take videos of ours, in shock that it exists. Screams bloody murder if someone catches it to look under. lol Collision is fantastic. Doesn't ram into anything. However. Needed to replace almost ever single part of this mower, including the wheels, multiple times. The battery and charging station are about the only thing that's actually 7 years old. That's saying something, because the heat and amount of use are very high. It only gets a rest for about 3 months out of a year. I wish these mowers were not so focus marketed to small city/suburban lawns. Those are the people I guess who want stripes. Or don't need the onboard panel. Can't believe they removed those from the newer mowers. The people who really need these mowers live further out, with rougher terrain, and connection issues with just a phone app for communication. Our land is sort of flat. With clay backfill, fireants, and droughts, unfortunately the mower badly needs vibration endurance. It rattles itself apart hard. Our weeds are rough and often woody, but the mower eventually evens them off. Hasn't been stopped by pinecones, storm branches, fireant mounds, vegetable harvest trimmings, odd rainy segments with extremely fast growth, or fruits. Not even big riding mowers can say that, here. Walking around is infinitely nicer since the robot mower. It weighs much less, and doesn't compact the ground further. Gets better each year. Those bricks on the tiny obstacle course in the video? Sure, sometimes nothing bad happens. Other times heavy low bricks snag a blade and breaks it. Or hangs up the whole mower, stuck on it's side. Must keep up after anything that exposes or moves hard low objects out into the mowing spaces. Stumps can high center it like a turtle. lol Tree roots haven't jammed the mower, the sounds when the mower decides to climb over them makes us wince. Random wildlife holes have yet to hang it up, not sure how. So I suspect there is more wear and tear on the undercarriage, and front wheels, than the manufacture expects. Difficult to get services. Install company folded that section of their business around 2020, and came from 2 hours away. We must travel to the next state over, a four hour plus round trip, when it's something we can't replace ourselves. Winter servicing is a lovely daydream. The install company introed that idea, and then promptly ditched robot mowers before we could even get the winter service. Couple important things for perimeter wire install. Get the BEST quality wire for the install. Wire originally installed was a low grade, aluminum stranded, that corroded within two years. There is no good time of the year to discover extensive corrosion, chew through, or flat out breaks. BURY it completely. That nonsense of sitting on top of the vegetation must work somewhere, but not here. Or, get the new models without any perimeter wires. Although, you won't be able to control it from an onboard panel if your phone will not connect. Can't imagine. So many times we needed to go out to the panel to get it working again.

Amazing!

Having used Automowers for over 15 years, I had to help a neighbor with his lawn mowing. He had a traditional motorized lawnmower, and that’s when I realized how much exhaust it emits.

This is cool!

These are the tech solutions we need in our lives. Now just need laundry and dishes robots!🤖

25:20 that joke is highly underrated 😂

Been researching to get my wife on board auto mower the past couple days, you releasing this today is a clear sign I need one

Robotics solving mundane tasks. Awesome.

It looks like a little tractor! WTB Shielded Gameboy transparent semi-colored, high durability shell, then a kinda "Canopy" a sun-shield isolated by some metal rods to the side, that hold up a tiny solar panel(s) (to power emergency systems, no drive just, reporting) and a foundational antenna to boost GPS/WIFI. Kinda like a umbrella on a tractor, but multifunctional, and cute. Unnecessary yes, but a little robot with a tiny techno umbrella is gold Jerry, GOLD!

They were the first, but a lot more competition is coming their way. The gps thing is obviously the way forward.

Thanks for the video! So much great information!

Silent Running! Adam, would love a Huey build...

Husqvarna : "It's doing a little bit of work, a lot of time" Adam :"Ahh, instead of the big work like, 4 times a year" Me : "Your grass only gets cut 4 times a year?"

We have some of these at work. I think they perform well. They are not going to generate the contrasting strips that are typical of freshly cut lawns, but that's a byproduct of their autonomous nature and how they somewhat chaotically bounce around inside their area. The only downside, and this is more of a maintenance issue, is there is some sort of problem that develops with the blade system. When the facilities team puts these out every spring they struggle to cut anything. Miraculously, one day they begin to cut great. I suspect the blades get corroded and need to be changed every year. Or perhaps the blades get froze on their axles. This is likely more of a storage issue with the machine in the off season. They probably aren't cleaned well at the end of the season and that leads to the problems. Then, one day, they start cutting great. Having some mechanical sympathy is going to lead to increased service life of your machines. If you take care of them, they will take care of you.

I got a Husqvarna 430X in 2016, and this is absolutely the best gadget i ever purchased !! It just works and works, and is the best in product-engineering. But don't run it at night if You have hedgehogs in the neighborhood. No, i am not sponsored.

Best thing I ever did was buy my Husqvarna 550 EPOS. I love that little guy.

Have had several Husqvarna for several years. Mowers themselves are pretty bulletproof proof but wires are a real pain and fail ALL the time. Dealership support in my area is poor. Just purchased two Mammotion Lubas that are GPS…no wires. After about a month I am still learning but performance has been great! After over 5 years of using robot mowers I am a huge fan.

as a swede, this feels wierd, literally every house has this from 10+ years ago xD Best thing you can invest into ^^

Husqvarna is a great company! But It’s not pronounced ”Husk-a-varna” it’s ”Huus-kvar-na”! Love the videos!

Trivia. Husqvarna is from a city in Sweden called Huskvarna. Founded in 1689. Thanks for a great video as usual :)

Iz that the husqvarna R&D center in Charlotte nc? Off Statesville rd? If so I drive by it frequently.

Damm, such a great episode. Adam you were like Norm asking the questions you knew the answers to. Plus you had amazing questions, wow. Gracias, dommo. It felt like an wordly expanse to nerds everywhere. Mmmmmmmmm

Safety! Thank you for recognizing it’s important! I hope other companies think about collision frequency. And hopefully people, animals, etc are recognized before they are negatively impacted. Gratitude

GPS doesn't 'talk to satellites' - they're just receivers

Love such episodes!

Best garden investment i ever did

"Can I remove this" as it's already half out. Lol

Self driving mowers and cars. Can I buy a robot that will go out and have fun for me? Sure would save a lot of time.

16:29 "Can I?" "Well, you've already pulled half of it out so, sure..."

You certainly got into the weeds with this product but there are unanswered questions about maintenance. For example how do you deal with the inevitable buildup of clipping debris underneath, particularly if it is only water resistant from above? (A lot of modern mowers have a hose attachment to clean underneath the cutting shell.)

Here's three tests they forgot to do: Make a 1 sqm box and see how often the mower get stuck. Surprisingly often even though there's actual room for it to manoeuvre. Measure the time it takes for the mower to cut the whole garden. You'll find out it's a very long time since, for some reason, the random character of its mowing makes it often go to areas it has done already. Ending up in some areas getting cut quite rarely. When cutting, the mower struggles severely to cut down longer single straws of grass and other stems-making them just bend down but actually not cut so they swing back again. Ending up with a lot of stems and other unwanted small vegetation left. They should implement some sort of machine learning making the mower remember difficulties and how to remedy them.

I'm so pleased how it was pointed out how important the sourcing of and knowing the properties of off-the-shelf parts is to the design and manufacture of robots.

2 cm = 1/50 of a meter... that has to be the most American thing I have ever heard Adam say

Someone needs to make custom shells for these that make them look like combine harvesters, super mario turtles, tanks... The possibilities are endless! 😅

I had a random idea there the other day using a VR headset setting boundaries. That's got two small cameras, a few sensors essentially a phone as a brain. Instead of using GPS why not explore using the same tech as VR headsets for setting lawnmower boundaries? No need for base station GPS antenna or burying wire. I'm sure there are other complications (like reliability and repeatability).

Being so light weight, looks like it would be easy for someone to steal while you're out and about or asleep. Are there safe guards to prevent that? What about something that aids in recovering the mower? After all, it has GPS.

I live in Husqvarna 😊

i want to see it cut 6" grass up that hill behind them, including that hump at the pathway. I'm surprised its using utility/razor blades. I live on converted farmland,I presure its waaaay too bumpy; lol the test ground looks like astroturf!

Lol I literally was thinking about this today! Interesting

Love the channel, mini vault door series is fantastic

I defiantly can see Adam Mowing his name in the Lawn with one of these and him laughing his ass off and geeking out over it

Great video Adam sir 😊

In a previous vodeo, Adam sed that Husqvarna was an American company. That's not true. Husqvarna is a Swedish company.

I’ve been looking at these for a while… just bought a new house with a much larger yard so this is so perfectly timed haha

As a senior, I have found my 415X to be a godsend. I will say that I needed to purchase the all terrain wheels to deal with the slope of my yard. Other than that, it was “set it and forget it.”

The safety features on these mowers are fascinating. I've built a couple robots and would never trust any of mine with spinning blades, but these have some really clever design to reduce risk of injury

@9:40 Low amperage?

Husqvarna robot lawn mowers are what I've heard work well in Finland. I've unfortunately been looking after a couple of Stihl robots and those have been having all sorts of issues every year.

Lol, as a Swedish idiot I simply can't get over how Adam says Husqvarna! 😄It's really adorable, but it's simply pronounced "Huskvarna" as one continuous word! 😁

I was half way into this before I realized it was an infomercial. I was only half listening anyway, working at a bench nearby. It was the gushing that drew my attention.

I hate the whole concept of lawns but this is pretty cool. I will never have one because I plant native plants and flowers so I don't have grass.

100% someone needs to develop a snow removal system like this

Wow, these people are insanely smart!!!

We have a husky that has been mowing the lawn for almost 4 years now. It has literary been stuck just once, due to me not keeping some bushes away from the lawn. It has been amazing….

Just ordered a husky for $599 from amazon. My John D tractor cost me 4k in 2011.

They need an auto blade changer.

wait, why headlights?

(19h x 7days )x52 weeks )x 4 years = 27664 hours. Let's say that it's design for 27k hours and you only cut grass 3 times a week that is 27664 hours / (19h x 3days x 52 weeks) = 9.3 years. I those price, I expect that. Let's be honest this is not easy life for a robot, its outdoor under UV, water, cold and hot. My roborock S7 vacuum got 377h, 589 cycles and 18000m2 total area clean.

The mower knows where it is, because it knows where it isn't.

My only problem is they should’ve made it washable by a hose. A lot of people would do that. It’s kind of sad that the team at Husqvarna missed that one that seems like a user-friendly feature in my opinion ring resistance is one thing, but idiot proofing is another.

Four times a year? Adam has no lawn. I am so surprised that their is no computer vision, but I guess that would be a bad reliability tradeoff.

5:30 I love Adam laughed when that was said. Who wants random squiggly lines on their lawn? Adam. And, perhaps me. 😆

The guy: 2 centimeters, Adam's American imperial brain who needs fractions no matter what: wow that's ONE FIFTIETH of a meter!

It can't stop and mow around a flower.

Oh wow,if everyone who owns one ends up looking as large as he is,I will just keep doing it myself lol If I'm gonna weigh 300 pounds,I'd rather not.This company really needs a better spokesman.

14:16 What an excellent question

Adam On the feild :D

Hank and Peggy over at NarroWay Homestead have shown me Robot Lawn Mowers work surprising well.

I actually always wondered how these worked

It needs googly eyes.

Pleasure to see the video sir

Interesting, but I do like the making videos a lot more than the paid advertisement series. Only so much of this content I can handle--it does start to feel a little bit like an infomercial. But still love the channel. I get that everyone has bills to pay.

Adam, it's pronounced husk-varna in their commercials...

I love mowing the lawn and don’t need a roombafor it. Get that bag Adam!

Random comment for the KZfaq algorithm.

Anyone else think Grant would have been in his element here.

Nice

Can you build a not so ugly mower?

An antenna on the building with its own grounding, like for TV antenna or satellite?

I think one of the most helpful things in this video is how to actually pronounce Husqvarna. :)

This is fantastic. My old campus had some of these, and this gets dark:These mowers killed a whole family of ducklings as it failed to identify them and just passed over them.

Built to last “5 to 7 years”???? Count me out. Still running my Husqvarna YTH1542XP-B lawn tractor purchased in 2000. Man, has quality dropped to new lows.

I have a 450x and it is on its fifth year. It works great. Mows about one acre.

Shocking to hear the truth that manufacturers are only aiming at 5 to 7 years of functionality these days.

So I guess Adam has a new mower 😂

maybe I missed it, but was expecting to hear comments about theft or ransoming of the mower. What's to keep someone from picking it up and throwing it in the back of their car/truck?

Don't see any goal posts or soccer goals on that obstacle course. They're v popular in Europe

The razor blades are probably a heck of a lot cheaper to replace than a regular steel mower blades

Love you Adam and the solving of engineering problems but how about we stop sterilising our environment.

I'm surprised the topic of pets didn't come up... like what happens when my dogs are outside, will the mower avoid them or does it need to bump them before it changes course. And what about dog waste? Does the mower just run over piles of dog waste and smear it in to the grass and all over the machine wheels and the blades?

How the Fk would it run 19 hours a day? Got ten batteries for the thing???

5-7 years seems like a super short life... my non-robot mower is like 15 years old...

Dude says "our mowers have 2cm accuracy" multiple times in a row. Adam "so how accurate are your mowers? 2cm wow"

On super flat even “Golf course” like lawn. How’s it working on uneven, hilly terrain?
