Robot lawn mowers are pretty cool tech, but they don’t come cheap. Luckily, Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday are the best times to get the deepest discounts, and this year is no exception—I’m seeing significant savings on everything Popular Mechanics has tested. But the biggest discount is on the Husqvarna Automower 410 iQ robot lawn mower, a model I personally reviewed and liked for how easy it was to set up and operate. Not only is it $1,000 off, but it also matches the lowest price I’ve seen on Amazon.

Of course, owning a robot lawn mower requires a shift in thinking about how you mow your lawn. They don’t use traditional blades to cut the grass; they use multiple smaller, razor-like blades that gently snip grass tips. This means you’ll need to cut your lawn more frequently—about two times a week. The good news is that frequent, short mowing sessions can actually be beneficial to overall lawn health. Plus, because you can easily set up a recurring calendar, the 410 iQ can do its job automatically without you having to think about it again.

What Makes It So Easy to Use?

If you’ve ever used a robot vacuum cleaner, you know full well that the results can vary wildly as to how tricky they can be to set up and function competently. That trepidation can precede the use of a robot lawn mower. But from unboxing to my first mowing session, the Husqvarna 410 iQ was a breeze, comparatively speaking.

The mower uses real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS for its main navigation, aided one step further by Husqvarna’s Exact Positioning Operating System (EPOS), which combines GPS and a cellular network to simplify setup. All I had to do was set up a base station, wait a minute for it to connect to the network, and I was ready to map out my yard.

To do that, I manually operated the mower, using my iPhone and the mower app to drive the 410 iQ around the perimeter of my yard, dropping waypoints as I went. After that was done, I drove it around two areas where I did not want the mower to go (a garden bed and a playset) and set those as stay-away zones. The process was simple, easy, and took less than 20 minutes.

But would it remember all that and cut the yard efficiently? Yes. I was impressed with how methodical it was, in fact. Upon its first mow, the 410 iQ traced the perimeter, cut around the stay-away zones, and then set about mowing the yard in even, parallel paths. At one point, it got close to a low battery, so it returned to its station. After recharging, the 410 iQ returned to the exact point it left off to finish the job. It was as automatic as you could get.

Don’t get me wrong, this process took a lot longer than a traditional lawn mower I tested. We’re talking 3 hours versus 45 minutes, and that was just the backyard. But since presetting the robot’s schedule in a calendar on the app is simple, too, you can have it mow the lawn while you’re at work, so who cares how long it takes? It’s also incredibly quiet, so it’ll never bother the neighbors. This might just be the droid you’re looking for.
