Automower 450X
The long-running large-area Automower: boundary wire, GPS-assisted navigation and the deepest service network in the category.
Review method: Specification analysis
Our verdict
The dependable choice, with the caveat that dependability is bought with a day of wire installation. Husqvarna's service network and parts availability are unmatched, and GPS-assisted navigation keeps coverage even on complex plots. What it will not do is set itself up, or see an obstacle before hitting it.
Pros
- Deepest dealer, parts and service network of any brand here
- Handles 5,000 m² and complex multi-zone layouts reliably
- Cellular connectivity, GPS tracking and PIN lock as standard
Cons
- Boundary wire must be laid and buried around the whole plot
- Bumper-only obstacle handling — it finds objects by touching them
- Highest list price in this catalogue
Best for
- Large, complex gardens where reliability outweighs setup effort
- Owners who want a local dealer to call
Not recommended for
- Anyone unwilling to install a perimeter wire
- Gardens where objects are regularly left on the lawn
