Earlier this year Husqvarna launched a campaign looking for 100 bloggers to test out their Automower robotic lawnmower range. Now who doesn’t want their own little R2D2 running round their garden, so of course I applied and in the end was lucky enough to be shortlisted to receive one of the bots.

So here's the first of around ten or so short videos across this mowing season on the Husqvarna 430X Automower, starting with its arrival and setup at the Automated Home a few days ago.
