Robomow RK1000 VS Husqvarna Automower 310 Mark II

The Robomow RK1000 is a reliable robotic lawnmower designed to give your lawn the perfect trim no matter the situation. It has a unique feature with its patented mowing system that allows it to mow all the way to the edges of the lawn, ensuring that your entire lawn always looks well-mowed. This robotic lawnmower is ideal for medium-sized gardens extending up to 1,000 square feet.

The Robomow RK1000 offers an impressive range of user-friendly features that result in excellent cutting results. You can easily program up to four secondary zones or starting points, and even two separate zones, either via the intuitive app or the handy touchscreen on the device itself. This gives you complete control over how your lawn is mowed and which areas to prioritize.

Outstanding is that the RK1000 can cut the grass with a cutting height as high as 100mm, the highest mowing height in our test. It is equipped with a brushless DC motor and a pendulum-suspended mowing unit with offset blades, which allows it to cope with uneven terrain and deliver an evenly mowed lawn. Its ability to handle slopes of up to 45% thanks to its optimized wheels that provide maximum grip makes it a versatile robotic lawnmower.

One of the best characteristics of the RK1000 is its quiet operation. You will hardly hear that it is in work, which means that it does not bother you or your neighbors during the mowing. Robomow is a reliable company originating in Israel and they offer a wide range of robotic lawnmowers suitable for different types of lawns. The RK1000 is an entry-level model that offers easy and efficient mowing and is particularly useful for medium-sized gardens.

The purchase of the RK1000 includes 200 metres of cable and small plastic sticks used to mark where the robotic lawnmower is allowed to drive. Equipped with powerful and durable wheels, it has a stylish design that allows it to move smoothly around the garden.

Robomow has developed a user-friendly mobile app that allows you to easily schedule the clipping or manually send the robot off for work. Note, however, that the RK1000 is not equipped with GPS or cellular connectivity, but uses Bluetooth to communicate with your mobile phone. A slight drawback is that you need to be relatively close to the clipper to get notifications from it, meaning you won't be informed if it gets stuck or runs into trouble while you're at work or on vacation. Trotts this, the Robomow RK1000 is a reliable and efficient robotic lawnmower that will keep your lawn well-mowed and well-groomed.

The Husqvarna Automower 310 Mark II has some similarities to its larger sibling, the Automower 415X, but they also have their distinct differences. The cutting height and cutting width are the same for both robotic lawnmowers, but there are some important aspects to consider when choosing between them.

One key difference is that the Automower 310 Mark II does not have the ability to be connected to the smart home, while the 415X has that ability. This means that the 415X can be controlled and monitored easily from your smartphone or other smart device, while the 310 Mark II lacks this feature.

Another important difference is software updates. To update the software on the Automower 310 Mark II, you need to submit it to a service workshop, while the 415X can download and install software updates independently. This makes the 415X more convenient and user-friendly when it comes to staying up to date.

A third difference to consider is the anti-theft area and the theft tracking. The Automower 415X has these features, which can be especially valuable if you live in an area where theft risks are high. On the other hand, the Automower 310 Mark II lacks these safety features.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a more affordable robotic lawnmower and do not have the need for the extra features mentioned above, the Automower 310 Mark II can be an excellent choice. It still offers reliable lawn mowing and can be a cost-effective option for keeping your lawn well-maintained.
