Can you believe it's been over 25 years since Husqvarna changed lawn care forever? 🌿 Back in 1995, Husqvarna launched the world's very first robotic lawn mower — the Solar Mower — and nothing has been the same since. It was a bold, brave idea that most people couldn't quite picture yet. A robot… mowing your lawn? Really?
But it worked. And it grew.
Over the decades, Husqvarna's Automower range has gone from a simple solar-powered pioneer to a smart, connected, GPS-guided machine that handles complex lawns with incredible precision. Early models were basic by today's standards — but they planted a seed (pun intended 🌱). Each generation brought better battery life, quieter operation, smarter navigation, and eventually, full app connectivity so you can control your mower right from your phone.
Today's Automowers can handle slopes, rain, tight corners, and even send you alerts if something goes wrong. They're not just convenient — they're genuinely impressive pieces of technology that save you time and keep your lawn looking its best, week after week.
At Hoopers Outdoor Power Centre, we've been proud Husqvarna dealers for over 30 years, so we've had a front-row seat to this incredible journey. We love helping people find the right Automower for their home or property — and trust us, once you go robotic, it's hard to go back!
We'd love to hear from you — have you ever used a robotic lawn mower, or are you still on the fence about making the switch? 👇
