Our verdict
NERA models are for buyers who want a dealer to set everything up and look after it. If you are happy to install a mower yourself, Segway and Mammotion offer more for the money.
What we like
- EPOS satellite positioning built for accuracy near trees and buildings
- Wide UK dealer network for installation and servicing
- 430V covers up to 4,800 m² (about 1.2 acres) in one machine
What to know
- Much more expensive than wire-free rivals of similar size
- Owner ratings on Husqvarna UK are mixed (3.8 to 3.9 out of 5 on small samples)
