These days, it seems like there’s an app to make nearly every aspect of our lives easier, be it for work, home, or leisure. Of course, there are some areas where an app can’t directly help, mowing the lawn being one of them. However, there are ways to make this fact of life a bit easier for garden owners and greenkeepers: enter the Automower. Introduced by Husqvarna in 1995 (you can read about its history here), this invention has been continuously developed ever since with benefits beyond simply reducing manual labour. Let’s take a look at some of them.
Automowers Turn a Chore into a Pleasure
Let’s face it, for many of us, mowing a lawn is more of a chore than a pleasure, perhaps even something we procrastinate over in favour of more pleasurable activities. Even on smaller lawns, having to push around a traditional lawn mower can become tiresome very quickly. With a ride-on lawn mower, you simply sit up and relax as the machine does the hard work, be it a sunny summer afternoon or a wet autumn morning.
Robotic Lawn Mowers are Less Strenuous on the Body
Husqvarna Automowers make light work of hills and slopes without you needing to lift a finger.
Unlike traditional lawnmowers, there’s no real heavy lifting or shoving involved with an Automower. Does your garden involve a steep slope? Not a problem, the robotic lawnmower can simply power up the gradient. It also means no more hassle with manually lugging a heavy machine back over a missed clump of grass to go over it again. This also makes Automowers an ideal choice for those with back problems and other conditions that may hinder their ability to use a traditional lawn mower comfortably.
Robotic Lawn Mowers Take Up Less Space
Automowers are smaller than ride-on lawnmowers, and most manual ones too. As such they demand less storage space, freeing up room in your shed, and are well suited to smaller gardens where a larger, manual model might be cumbersome. As we already mentioned, they are an ideal solution for those with mobility problems, particularly in cases where a small garden makes a large ride-on lawnmower impractical.
Automowers are Better for the Environment
We’re all looking for ways to reduce our impact on the environment. Well, you’ll be pleased to know that a Husqvarna Automower is an excellent way to achieve this, for they are battery-powered. This means you can rest assured that no matter how often you mow your lawn, the machine won’t produce any harmful emissions. They tend to be quieter than petrol mowers too, thus reducing their noise impact. Your neighbours will thank you for that!
Automowers Enable More Frequent, Precise Lawn Trimming
Let’s face it, a lot of us have a habit of leaving the lawn cutting until the grass starts to look too long if not unwieldy. With an Automower, it’s far more feasible to trim the grass frequently, even daily if you desire, so that it remains at a consistent height without ever getting unkempt. Not only does it require less effort than a manual lawnmower, but it can actually be set to run on a daily schedule if needed, without you having to even step outside.
