# Husqvarna Automower models compared

Husqvarna sells its Automowers in two broad families. The classic models follow a boundary wire pegged round the lawn. The newer EPOS and vision models use a virtual boundary that you draw in the app, so there is no wire to lay or repair. Model numbers roughly track size: higher numbers cover larger lawns and steeper slopes. This guide compares the three Automowers currently in our product list on the facts their listings give: how they find the edge, the rated lawn area, the slope limit and the main features. Some listings are thin, so where a figure is missing we say so. Husqvarna sells through dealers as well as online, and a dealer can confirm the exact spec and installation options for your garden.

## Products

### 1. Husqvarna, Automower 315 (2018 model), grass area up to 1500 m², including anti-theft, 40% slope

Navigation: Boundary wire; Rated area: 1,500 m²; Max slope: 40%; Cutting width: Not stated; Cutting height: 20 to 50 mm

A proven boundary wire Automower for medium to large lawns, with app control through Automower Connect and a weather timer that adapts mowing to grass growth.

In its favour:
- Rated for lawns up to 1,500 m² and slopes up to 40%, a wide margin for most UK back gardens.
- The listing mentions a weather timer that changes cutting time with growth, so it mows less in dry spells.
- Anti-theft features are included, and Automower Connect lets you control it from your phone.

Good to know:
- This listing is for a 2018 model, so newer Automowers may add features it lacks.
- The boundary wire has to be laid and pegged, which takes longer than an app-drawn map.

### 2. Robot Husqvarna Auto Motor 430 V Black

Max slope: 50%; Drive: Not stated; Navigation: Virtual boundary, no wire; Rated area: Not clearly stated; Cutting width: Not stated

A Husqvarna wire-free Automower with a virtual perimeter and a stated 50% maximum slope, for larger and steeper lawns where dealer backing matters.

In its favour:
- The listing gives a 50% maximum slope inside the working area.
- Uses a virtual perimeter, so there is no boundary wire to lay or repair.
- Husqvarna lists spare part availability for five years.

Good to know:
- The listing area figure looks wrong, so confirm the rated area with Husqvarna or a dealer.
- Very few specs are given, including cutting width and height.

### 3. Robot Husqvarna Auto Motor 405VE Black

Boundary: Virtual (EPOS); Rated area: Not stated; Max slope: Not stated; Key feature: EdgeCut, AI object detection

A compact wire-free Automower using Husqvarna EPOS AI to detect and avoid objects, with an EdgeCut function for tidier borders.

In its favour:
- No boundary wire, since the listing describes EPOS virtual boundary technology.
- EdgeCut is listed for neater lawn edges, cutting down on strimming.
- Husqvarna lists spare part availability for 10 years.

Good to know:
- The listing does not give rated area or slope, so confirm both with a dealer.
- EPOS relies on satellite positioning, which can struggle near tall buildings and dense trees.
