Husqvarna Lawn Mowers
Husqvarna started life in 1689 as a Swedish musket factory. Three centuries on, they make some of the best chainsaws, ride-on lawn mowers and robot mowers on the planet — and they basically invented the robot mower category back in 1995. You pay for the privilege; nothing here is cheap. But what you get is the kind of build quality that ends up in someone\'s shed in 2046, still working. Here\'s the range, ranked.
Best Husqvarna lawn mowers
Husqvarna Automower 305
Husqvarna
The Automower platform invented the robot mower category and the 305 is the right size for the average UK back garden. Up to 600 m² coverage, 40% slope, the most mature robot mower firmware on the market by miles.
Pros
- + 11+ years of refined Automower firmware
- + Climbs slopes up to 40%
- + GPS theft alarm built in
Cons
- − Boundary cable installation eats half a Saturday
- − Replacement blades every 8–10 weeks
Husqvarna Aspire LC34-P4A
Husqvarna
Yes, Husqvarna now uses Bosch batteries on its consumer cordless range — a quiet partnership announced in 2023. The Aspire LC34 is the cheapest entry into Husqvarna cordless and works with any 18V Power for All battery you already own.
Pros
- + Bosch Power for All compatible
- + Genuine Husqvarna build quality
- + 34 cm deck for small-medium lawns
Cons
- − Smaller battery in box than premium Husqvarnas
- − Limited UK retailer footprint vs Bosch
Husqvarna LC 348iV
Husqvarna
The proper trade-grade cordless mower. The 36V high-output battery system is built for sustained heavy load — closer to a small petrol mower than to mainstream cordless rivals. For lawns over 700 m², worth the premium.
Pros
- + 48 cm cutting deck
- + Self-propelled variable speed
- + Husqvarna 36V battery system (high amp draw)
Cons
- − Pricey
- − Battery sold separately on most retailers
Husqvarna TS 138L
Husqvarna
A mid-range Husqvarna ride-on with hydrostatic drive and rear collection. Built to last 20+ years and backed by the strongest petrol mower dealer network in the UK.
Pros
- + Hydrostatic transmission
- + 97 cm cutting deck with rear collection
- + Husqvarna dealer network for parts
Cons
- − Premium pricing
- − Heavier than Mountfield equivalents
The Husqvarna lawn mower range explained
Husqvarna splits its lawn mowers into four ranges. Automower is the boundary-cable robot mower line — 105, 305, 415X, 450X — the model that started the whole category. NERA is the new wire-free robot range using EPOS satellite tech. LC and Aspire are the cordless and petrol push mowers. TS, TC, Z and CTH are the ride-on and zero-turn ranges. The naming is not the friendliest, but the build quality is consistent across all four.
The big news in 2023 was the Bosch partnership. Husqvarna\'s consumer cordless range (Aspire) now uses Bosch\'s 18V Power for All battery, which means anyone with a Bosch drill can buy a Husqvarna mower bare-tool. Husqvarna\'s premium 36V Battery Series still uses its own packs — designed for sustained high-amp draw on bigger mowers and chainsaws.
Where Husqvarna fits vs rivals
Husqvarna is the premium-tier mainstream brand. Stihl is the obvious rival on petrol push and chainsaws — broadly equivalent quality, slightly different design philosophy. On robots, the rival list is shorter: Bosch Indego (cheaper, smaller lawns), Mammotion Luba (wire-free, newer), Stiga (UK dealer network, less mature firmware). On ride-ons, John Deere is the direct alternative — broadly equivalent build, slightly more expensive in the UK.
Common quirks and known issues
Two specifics worth knowing. The Automower boundary cable is the single biggest install task in the UK garden — give yourself half a Saturday or pay a Husqvarna dealer to do it (£200–£400 typical). Replacement blades on the Automower need changing every 8–10 weeks of active mowing — they\'re cheap (£15–£25) but you do need to remember. The Aspire cordless range uses Bosch batteries which we like, but the included charger is sometimes the slow Bosch one — a fast charger is worth the upgrade.
