Husqvarna Automower iQ series compared
The iQ series is Husqvarna's wire-free range in the US: four models from half an acre to 2 acres, all positioned by Husqvarna's EPOS satellite system with radar to spot obstacles.
| Model | Max area | Max slope | Navigation | Cutting width | Price seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Husqvarna Automower 410 iQ | 0.5 acre | 45% (24.2°) | RTK | 9.4 in | $2,599.99 |
| Husqvarna Automower 435 iQ AWD | 0.9 acre | 70% (35°) | RTK | 8.7 in | $4,999.99 |
| Husqvarna Automower 420 iQ | 1 acre | 45% (24.2°) | RTK | 9.4 in | $3,299.99 |
| Husqvarna Automower 440 iQ | 2 acres | 45% (24.2°) | RTK | 9.4 in | $4,299.99 |
How they differ
- Area: the Husqvarna Automower 410 iQ covers half an acre, the Husqvarna Automower 420 iQ one acre and the Husqvarna Automower 440 iQ 2 acres on simply shaped lawns. Husqvarna rates the 440 iQ at 1 acre for irregular lawns.
- Slopes: the 410, 420 and 440 iQ handle 45% (about 24°). The Husqvarna Automower 435 iQ AWD adds all-wheel drive and climbs 70% (35°).
- Navigation: all four use EPOS satellite RTK and radar object detection. None has cameras or LiDAR, so they need a reasonably open sky. Our RTK vs LiDAR guide explains why that matters under trees.
Against other brands
Husqvarna charges more for each acre. The Segway Navimow X430 rates a full acre and 84% slopes for $2,499, against $3,299.99 for the 420 iQ at 45%. On steep ground, Mammotion's LUBA 3 and Dreame's A3 AWD climb 80% for less than the 435 iQ AWD. Husqvarna's case is its dealer network and long track record with robot mowers.
