Summary

TLDRThis follow-up video updates viewers on the Husqvarna 310 Automower after a few months of use. The owner reports the lawn is much greener and near-perfect — the guide wire is now invisible after being buried, and the mower’s level 4 setting and original schedule (early morning to evening) remain unchanged because it’s cutting perfectly. He swapped the blades once, sees no obvious spike in electricity bills, and praises the time saved maintaining nearly 950 m² of turf without manual mowing. Happy with performance, he’s even considering a second unit for a separate lawn area inaccessible by the mower.

  • Why was the mowing edge not extended to the garden's border?
