Husqvarna Automower 310
Verified1 review
Piece of crap. Don’t waste your money – Bought from Farm and Garden in Rockhampton January 2021. It’s the biggest piece of crap. Don’t waste your money. If you can get it to run for more than 10 minutes without encountering problems you are doing well. Every time it has a problem it stops mowing and you need to go out and manually reset it. You basically have to sit there and watch it mow so you can fix it every time it stops. Says it will go over 22% slope which is a lie. It struggles to work on 10%. Only takes a tiny slope or divot and when it hits reverse it gets stuck. Gets bogged on flat ground. It takes me twice as long to mow with the robot than a push mower. And that’s just the amount of time I spend going outside to reset it. I have about 400m of grass and it takes 2 full days to do it. 10 full charges to mow the entire lawn. Stops approx 10 on each charge. Installation is a nightmare too. Save your money and time and do not buy one. Possibly the worst thing I’ve ever purchased. Huge regret
Purchased in for $1,699.

Hi Chris, Your experience is obviously disappointing and as Product Manager - Robotic & Digital Solutions, I'm surprised I did not hear about your case. We have contacted the dealer in question to investigate this further.
We have many Automowers installed across Australia and once installed and setup correctly, they do not exhibit the problems you have mentioned. There are many settings available and we use these to overcome terrain related issues and customise the mowers behaviour for specific installations.
The AM310 is specified to handle slopes of 40% (24 degrees) and providing the terrain is lawn and not too rough it will handle this fine. The AM310 can handle 1,000sqm over a 24 hour period. I suspect in your case, the battery may be causing issues and this can be checked by the dealer using our Autocheck 3 program. If you can provide the serial number for you machine I can check its error logs using our Mowermaster program to drill down further.
I will revert back to you once we have spoken with the dealer involved.
Best Regards, Husqvarna Product Management
