Our verdict

The hedge against committing to one navigation philosophy. Install it on wire now and move to satellite boundaries later, or start wire-free from day one. That flexibility costs money, and obstacle handling is still a bumper — but the underlying machine is a proven Husqvarna.

Pros

  • Works with a boundary wire or with satellite boundaries via EPOS
  • Husqvarna build quality and service network
  • Virtual zones can be redrawn in the app without touching the garden

Cons

  • Satellite operation needs the EPOS plug-in and a reference station
  • Bumper-only obstacle handling
  • Expensive once the plug-in is added

Best for

  • Owners who want to change boundaries seasonally
  • Gardens between 1,500 and 3,200 m²

Not recommended for

  • Buyers wanting camera-based obstacle avoidance
  • Anyone looking for the cheapest wire-free option
