Spent the last hour or two looking at reviews and finally came across your review that was actually helpful in showing in detail the quality of the grass. Hats off to ya for a fantastic video
Hi SuperHouseTV, I have enjoyed your videos. I purchased a Automower 315 late last year and so far have been very impressed. I've also been seeking as much info as I can from the internet and came across the Automower Connect module that is now available for all the current model Automowers. The reason that I was interested in the Connect module was for the added security and being able to track its position if somebody decided to remove it from my front lawn and also the ability to make adjustments from my my mobile phone. Looking into the Connect module a little further it has a SIM card that it uses for communication which operates on the 2G network. Being in Australia most of the 2G network has shutdown and will be completely gone by September 2017. While the Automower Connect seems like a worthwhile proposition it doesn't seem like it can be used for much longer. I believe it will require a new module to cover 3G at a later date. I was wondering what you may know about this?
Great informative video thanks :) It's difficult to see how good the cut with the auto mower is, because it takes off so little during the period of filming. How does it compare to the cut from a good petrol mower over say 1 month? Do you need to keep the petrol mower for 'edging' or does the green perimeter wire placement allow the mower to get everywhere? Thanks
Good questions. I think one of the best demonstrations of the quality of the Automower cut is that you can't see where it's been. The grass looks fairly uniform all the time. It just never changes. One of the limitations of the Automower is definitely that it can't keep the edges as neat as the rest of the lawn. I still use the petrol mower to do the nature strip (where I don't want the Automower to go!) and trim the edges. The difference is that I only need to spend a few minutes every couple of weeks to tidy up around the edges. It's almost no effort. In the meantime, the rest of the lawn always looks perfect.
what for library do you use for the headers. i want to make my one board but i want to use your library, were can i find it and a great video thanks for the information
the auto mower would be a game changer for me. At £2,500 the cost cannot be justified right now. I reckon the automower costs maybe £200 in parts max to make plus manpower and marketing budget. it's currently a luxury product and Husquvana have the market it seems. Hopefully we will see an open-auto--mower.org project take shape. This machine is such labour saver it's not, hopefully, going to take long for it to be reverse engineered. A drone flight control board + RTK for 2cm accuracy + housing + blade + wheels + motor + lipo cells + docking charging station + auto piloting software. it's quite a lot of work when all listed out. Needs a collaborative effort. I'm sure Husquvana had various teams on it to bring product to market in fairly short order. Wander when the fairly decent Chinese rip off will appear?
No real incentive for companies to bother with innovating if people just going to sit around and wait for cheap knock-off to be built and cut them out of the market.
@@Nightfreed The video gives no evidence that thatch 'strangles' either the grass or the soil. There is no evidence of water-logging, or lack of drainage. Both the soil and the grass seem to be in excellent condition. All users of robotic mowers say the same; their soil improves and their grass becomes greener, thicker, stronger. Watch the videos; see the evidence. Find someone who uses one; see the evidence. The dead grass feeds fungal moulds, which in turn feed earthworms, which in turn manure the soil. Those people who scarify their lawns starve the soil and reduce the worm population; they then feed the grass with nitrogenous fertilizers. Mulching lawn mowers were invented not to reduce the labour of dumping grass clippings but to improve the soil and hence the grass. The experiment is easy. Scarify half your lawn, but not the other half; see your own evidence.
