What size of lawn is the Automower 310E NERA really suited to?

The wire-free Husqvarna Automower 310E NERA suits lawns of roughly 800 m² to 1,200 m², and the boundary-wire version a little less. The headline rating needs some unpacking.

Husqvarna lists 1,500 m² for the wire-free version, but that figure assumes systematic mowing in straight lines and comes with a ±20% tolerance. For irregular (random) mowing Husqvarna gives 1,000 m², the same as the rating of the older boundary-wire version, 1,000 m².

Several things eat into a rated area in a real garden. Narrow strips, lots of flower beds or trees, slopes and several separate lawns all add travel time and turning. Grass also grows fastest in late spring, when a mower near its limit can struggle to keep up. Choosing a model rated comfortably above your measured lawn leaves spare capacity for those weeks.

If your lawn is under about 700 m², the Husqvarna Automower 305E NERA has the same cutting system and slope rating for less money. If you're above about 1,200 m², or the garden is awkward, look at the Husqvarna Automower 320 NERA, which is rated for 3,300 m².

Measure before you decide: our lawn size tool lets you draw your lawn on a map and gives the area in square metres.
