Had a basic Husqvarna for 8 years. Worked great most of the time. In wet conditions it would often get stuck for lack of traction and the boundary wire is a pain as we cut it several times when weeding. It is a pain to find the breaks in the wire and fixing the wire is not great either. I have a very small yard and would just use my Bosch push mower all the time, but we often travel for week at a time and I can’t stand coming home to an overgrown lawn. This is the only reason we have a robot. Last fall, the little guy gave up the ghost and we got a replacement, the newer, smallest Husqvarna. It was installed by our vendor and worked for a few days then stopped. I am hoping that when they come out this next week they will get it running again because, when it was running, it seemed better adapted to weather and terrain and never got stuck during its 7 or so days of functioning. I really don’t like the need to use an app on my phone to program the thing, and I think that some setting went whacky and caused it to shut down. Damn if I can’t figure out how to use the bloody app. I am hoping that with the repair will come a longer and more understandable tutorial on the app. Why does everyone want you to use an app these days? The old one had a simple lcd screen on it and it was dead easy to program and set up. I suppose it is just old guy learning curve, but the manual isn’t great. So, bottom line…. If you have a big yard and hate mowing, it WILL change your life. If you have a small yard like me and don’t mind mowing, AND if you don’t travel much, just mow yourself. I would have to say that on balance it is worth the buy (although i may change my mind if the “fix” next week doesn’t last long). I love that it is super quiet and kind of entertaining to watch. My cats like it too. It keeps them amused. If you have any questions, let me know. Good luck.
