Advancements in Robotic Mowing
Husqvarna is the world's market leader in robotic lawn mowing, and its new three-product line offers users a range of features and benefits that are unprecedented in the industry.

The Husqvarna Automower^® 315, for smaller yet complex lawns; Husqvarna Automower^® 430X, for medium- to large-size lawns; and Husqvarna Automower^® 450X, for large lawns, blend ease-of-use with advanced technologies to produce a carpet-like lawn with minimum interaction with the machine.

The Husqvarna Automower^® 315 has a mowing capacity of 1/3 acre, delivering silent, emission-free performance over rough terrain, steep slopes and in complex areas. Its manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) is $1,999 in the U.S.; C$2,199 in Canada.

The Husqvarna Automower^® 430X has a mowing capacity of 2/3 acre, and its environmentally-friendly solution delivers a continuously well-cut lawn, even with steep slopes and intricate lawn layouts. Its MSRP is $2,699 in the U.S.; C$2,999 in Canada.

Environmentally-Friendly Trimmer
A new addition to the Husqvarna Battery Series of ergonomic, low-maintenance products enables homeowners to easily complete even the most challenging task -- with no gas and no emissions.

The Husqvarna 136LiL trimmer features high-quality performance that efficiently gets the job done, thanks to advanced battery technology that allows for optimal power. The intuitive keypad allows for one-touch on/off control and access to the savE™ mode, which lowers output performance and increases battery life in less demanding situations.
