@@Nekotaku_TV I think anyone is generally a lot less critical about something they're being sponsored to talk about. That doesn't equate to lying at all. It's just common sense. I enjoy Adams content, I generally trust his word about as much as is possible for a dude on the internet I don't personally know, but the only reason I even noticed it was sponsored was because the whole video had a slightly odd vibe, so clearly there is something different when it's sponsored.
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.
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.
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😊
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.
What's amazing thinking about these, is that they're not that expensive. Even their larger models are still about 1/2 the price of a larger riding lawnmower.
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.
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've pointed out in another reply, recordings on forvo with the Swedish pronunciation. Your _Huskvarna_ isn't going to mean anything to American English speakers. In English, there are three different sounds used for 'u'. Few American would guess your long u sound for Husqvarna.
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.
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.
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
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!
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?"
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.)
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
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.
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
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.
it has a GPS in it also its uless without the refrenc antena. on top of that all of them have a PIN code acces. without knowing the PIN code its also useless
This video is a commercial. I don't mind a sponsored video but I generally don't seek out infomercials to watch. I like watching the show, I'm here for the show not the commercials. I watch tested for the videos, not the ads.
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.
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.”
Someone needs to make custom shells for these that make them look like combine harvesters, super mario turtles, tanks... The possibilities are endless! 😅
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.
@@jankington216 A built in heater to melt it, or something you start and runs continuously through a storm. Say something that could handle up to 3 inches depth. Also snow freshly fallen is a lot easier to move than stuff that's been compacting throughout an entire storm.
@@ck2d there a thing actually called heated lawns, the football/soccer grounds the big clubs, the one money to burn, something put under grass, in the earth/dirt maybe electrical heater, or myself, more like to hot-water pipes, and run all over the playing area, on the ready cold days no snow, no frost, no ice, many even keep grass it self happy, warm, may still grow a bit too?
@@ck2dheating snow slowly like that in the winter would use an insane amount of power and then leave water in it's wake that would freeze to ice and the robot moved on :-) Much easier to spin a tiny motor with little in the way of resistance... just a couple razor blades trimming an eighth of a inch of grass.
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!
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.
Yeah, I live in SW PA. My yard has a downward slope of, no joke, probably 40 degrees, left to right. And it’s not “level” along that plane, there’s basically a shallow trench 2/3 down. I would have concerns about how well it could do the job.
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.
(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.
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.
The hospital I work at has one of these for the yard outside the cafeteria, it's been there for 4-5 years, no one ever touches it except to put it away for the winter and it never looks like it needs cleaned. As the one person in the video mentioned, they keep the grass short all the time so they never really work too hard. You could probably get away with a damp cloth wipe down once a year when you put it away at the end of the season.
@@Swiftsword- I have a Briggs and Stratton bearing something or another and it's about that old and I do NOTHING to it but put gas in it. I want an electric, but this thing might be immortal.
I don't know about that. Forvo has pronunciations recorded by eight different people from Sweden. There are two very slightly different pronunciations recorded and neither of them are any closer to Adam's than the common American one. hoos-k'var-na hoos-quar-na hoos-kə-var-na
@@blindleader42 The beginning "HU" is pronunced much like the HU in "Hue", the "KVA" is much like the QUA in the word "Quark" So you could say it maybe like Huesquarna, I think that would be fairly close. It's a Swedish town, but you can split it up to two words since when you say it you say it as two words, "hus" "kvarna" Hus = House Kvarn = Mill/Windmill/grinder I isn't the easiest name to say in English I'll grant you, Chris way of saying it is the best I've heard, but then again, If he has been living 6 months with the Swedes hearing it being said over and over it does help to get it to sound more like the Swedish pronunciation!
@@pieebobeg Yep, I got that. From the recordings I've heard, Americans would get closest with "hoos". From the Swedish IPA chart, it doesn't look like Swedish even has that sound. Two of the eight forvo recordings did not have the quar sound, just the k sound isolated from the rest of the word. Numerous Swedish speakers in these comments have corrected Adams first syllable with "husk", which will have every American saying it the way Adam does. See my comment above - that sound apparently is missing from Swedish. But I could be wrong on that. If there's a Swedish word with that first syllable vowel that Adam uses please tell me.
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….
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.
@@jeffdroog The ducklings don't, my man. That's whom I were talking about. The ducklings got smoked. They can't move very fast, they cannot fly and they are very small. Look up "duckling". Why would I lie about this? What would I stand to gain from a lie like that?
@Duspende Good thing the average duckling is too large for such a thing,and also,are accompanied by large adult ducks that will keep their young safe,and away from the device.
No. Newborn ducklings are basically helpless, and they stay in the nest for a few weeks. They don’t fly, they don’t swim, they don’t walk. They wouldn’t know what’s dangerous or not. The parent(s) have to leave them to find food for themselves and their young. Maybe dad is in the picture, maybe not; even if he is, they’re not tagging in/out so one adult is with the young at all times. Even if an adult is with the ducklings, if a robot mower comes along, there is no time to move the babies. Either the adult is injured or dies with them, trying to defend the young, or the adult escapes to live another day and raise another set of young. Newborn wildlife is fragile and vulnerable, and only has the ability to deal with a fraction of what the world throws at them.
I'm sure that I'm missing something, but why do we need fully autonomous robots when we can delineate the regions that need mowing? The autonomy part can be somewhat pushed back to a less important position.
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?
There is a a pin you need to enter before lifting it(you can choose your own pin) , or a siren of about 120dB goes off and does not stop until you enter the pin or the battery dies (it can go on for hours)
Also depending on the model you can get mobile network addon so you can track the stolen mover using GPS. It can also use GPS to detect if it's stolen.
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?
What is with this sponsored "collab" with Husqvarna all of a sudden? This channel (to my knowledge) have never had these sponsored videos before....very odd
@@RaXXha Not this kind of "shoved in the face" kind of very clearly sponsored videos imo. And I know, no need to say "IF yOu Don't LIke iT DON't WaTch IT"
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.

5-7 year life target in the field? I think he said the quiet part out loud. 😂
Wow, these people are insanely smart!!!
I live in Husqvarna 😊
Was this at the R&D center in Charlotte NC?
Love such episodes!
100% someone needs to develop a snow removal system like this
Yarbo?
Now how would that work without it having a big maw that goes up to your knees?
@@jankington216 A built in heater to melt it, or something you start and runs continuously through a storm. Say something that could handle up to 3 inches depth. Also snow freshly fallen is a lot easier to move than stuff that's been compacting throughout an entire storm.
@@ck2d there a thing actually called heated lawns, the football/soccer grounds the big clubs, the one money to burn, something put under grass, in the earth/dirt maybe electrical heater, or myself, more like to hot-water pipes, and run all over the playing area, on the ready cold days no snow, no frost, no ice, many even keep grass it self happy, warm, may still grow a bit too?
@@ck2dheating snow slowly like that in the winter would use an insane amount of power and then leave water in it's wake that would freeze to ice and the robot moved on :-)
Much easier to spin a tiny motor with little in the way of resistance... just a couple razor blades trimming an eighth of a inch of grass.
Love the channel, mini vault door series is fantastic
Lol I literally was thinking about this today! Interesting
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.
Great video Adam sir 😊
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!
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.
On super flat even “Golf course” like lawn.
How’s it working on uneven, hilly terrain?
Depends but it works great on our lawn at the summer house where its very lumpy and hilly
Yeah, I live in SW PA. My yard has a downward slope of, no joke, probably 40 degrees, left to right. And it’s not “level” along that plane, there’s basically a shallow trench 2/3 down. I would have concerns about how well it could do the job.
2 cm = 1/50 of a meter... that has to be the most American thing I have ever heard Adam say
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.
It should,as it definitely 100% is an infomercial.Good job
I love mowing the lawn and don’t need a roombafor it. Get that bag Adam!
I also like to mow the lawn, but if i dont need to i can do something else i like even more.
(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.
- He just loves grass
- So do I
😂😂
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.
Gardena robot mowers can be washed with hose. Gardena is basically Husqvarna with different color and plastic.
The hospital I work at has one of these for the yard outside the cafeteria, it's been there for 4-5 years, no one ever touches it except to put it away for the winter and it never looks like it needs cleaned. As the one person in the video mentioned, they keep the grass short all the time so they never really work too hard. You could probably get away with a damp cloth wipe down once a year when you put it away at the end of the season.
All (EU) Husqvarna models are hose washable. Not sure about the exact US models and ipx ratings.
Just ordered a husky for $599 from amazon. My John D tractor cost me 4k in 2011.
Shocking to hear the truth that manufacturers are only aiming at 5 to 7 years of functionality these days.
My Husqvarna automower is 16 years old and still works great.
@@Swiftsword- I have a Briggs and Stratton bearing something or another and it's about that old and I do NOTHING to it but put gas in it. I want an electric, but this thing might be immortal.
5-7 years of running time
wait, why headlights?
I think one of the most helpful things in this video is how to actually pronounce Husqvarna. :)
I don't know about that. Forvo has pronunciations recorded by eight different people from Sweden. There are two very slightly different pronunciations recorded and neither of them are any closer to Adam's than the common American one.
hoos-k'var-na
hoos-quar-na
hoos-kə-var-na
@@blindleader42
The beginning "HU" is pronunced much like the HU in "Hue",
the "KVA" is much like the QUA in the word "Quark"
So you could say it maybe like Huesquarna, I think that would be fairly close.
It's a Swedish town, but you can split it up to two words since when you say it you say it as two words, "hus" "kvarna"
Hus = House
Kvarn = Mill/Windmill/grinder
I isn't the easiest name to say in English I'll grant you, Chris way of saying it is the best I've heard, but then again, If he has been living 6 months with the Swedes hearing it being said over and over it does help to get it to sound more like the Swedish pronunciation!
Umm, when did they correctly pronounce Husqvarna, must have missed it.
@@pieebobeg Yep, I got that. From the recordings I've heard, Americans would get closest with "hoos".
From the Swedish IPA chart, it doesn't look like Swedish even has that sound. Two of the eight forvo recordings did not have the quar sound, just the k sound isolated from the rest of the word.
Numerous Swedish speakers in these comments have corrected Adams first syllable with "husk", which will have every American saying it the way Adam does. See my comment above - that sound apparently is missing from Swedish. But I could be wrong on that. If there's a Swedish word with that first syllable vowel that Adam uses please tell me.
If Americans just skipped that extra A they add in the middle they'd much closer, it's husqvarna _not_ husqAvarna.
Pleasure to see the video sir
The razor blades are probably a heck of a lot cheaper to replace than a regular steel mower blades
I can get a 36 pack for about $12. My mower has 3 blades and i put on fresh blades when the cutting season starts and swap once during it.
So I guess Adam has a new mower 😂
Now if he only had some grass to turn it loose on.😝
I'm 100% sure there was just a cash infusion to whatever legal entity pays for Tested production.
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….
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.
No it didn't lol Ducks are smart,and would have moved away LONG before then...Also,they ducking fly.Quit lying.
@@jeffdroog The ducklings don't, my man. That's whom I were talking about. The ducklings got smoked. They can't move very fast, they cannot fly and they are very small. Look up "duckling". Why would I lie about this? What would I stand to gain from a lie like that?
@Duspende Good thing the average duckling is too large for such a thing,and also,are accompanied by large adult ducks that will keep their young safe,and away from the device.
No. Newborn ducklings are basically helpless, and they stay in the nest for a few weeks. They don’t fly, they don’t swim, they don’t walk. They wouldn’t know what’s dangerous or not. The parent(s) have to leave them to find food for themselves and their young. Maybe dad is in the picture, maybe not; even if he is, they’re not tagging in/out so one adult is with the young at all times. Even if an adult is with the ducklings, if a robot mower comes along, there is no time to move the babies. Either the adult is injured or dies with them, trying to defend the young, or the adult escapes to live another day and raise another set of young.
Newborn wildlife is fragile and vulnerable, and only has the ability to deal with a fraction of what the world throws at them.
It can't stop and mow around a flower.
Adam On the feild :D
It needs googly eyes.
I see you’re also a Man of culture
@9:40 Low amperage?
I'm sure that I'm missing something, but why do we need fully autonomous robots when we can delineate the regions that need mowing? The autonomy part can be somewhat pushed back to a less important position.
Adam, it's pronounced husk-varna in their commercials...
And in swedish Huskvarna
@@Logical.curiosity wat
Well that would be wrong too. It's more like Huus-kvar-na.
@@Nekotaku_TV you mean "hoosk-varn?"
@@jakejager No... Was that a joke?
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?
There is a a pin you need to enter before lifting it(you can choose your own pin) , or a siren of about 120dB goes off and does not stop until you enter the pin or the battery dies (it can go on for hours)
Also depending on the model you can get mobile network addon so you can track the stolen mover using GPS. It can also use GPS to detect if it's stolen.
Nothing lol Live in a gated community,or don't get it.
Soooo ... humm ...
You can writes words on your grass with the gps system xD
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?
I mow over poop all the time. What actually sucks is when you run into hidden poop with the weedeater
How many videos did that Concrete Cutter cost?
That HUUUUUGE paycheck Rusqueivardnar gave Tested.... uahiuhaiuahuha
What is with this sponsored "collab" with Husqvarna all of a sudden?
This channel (to my knowledge) have never had these sponsored videos before....very odd
They've had plenty of sponsored videos before.
@@RaXXha Not this kind of "shoved in the face" kind of very clearly sponsored videos imo.
And I know, no need to say "IF yOu Don't LIke iT DON't WaTch IT"
Random comment for the RUclips algorithm.
Can you build a not so ugly mower?
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.
They need an auto blade changer.
Americans pronouncing Husqvarna has to be some of the funniest things I've heard.
Hank and Peggy over at NarroWay Homestead have shown me Robot Lawn Mowers work surprising well.
