I finally found someone to install it for me!
In Quebec, it's super hard to get our hands on one :O I found : http://www.automowerquebec.com/ They installed it for me and they also offer the installation which is super hard to do yourself properly. If you live in Quebec Canada I can't recommend it more, it saved me so much lawn mowing time!

We bought our Automower almost two years ago to the day. I was sceptical at first, but I have found that it is a very fine product for lawn mowing. Our property is just shy of an acre and has around 80 trees on it. Considering all of the obstacles, it does a fine job.
After 1854 hrs of mowing over that time, it has averaged 17.83hrs per week mowing at a cost of 18c/week. A caveat is that the blades are a little costly, so we bought them on line. A little thought needs to be put into setting it up too. But can be modified later. Includin...Read more
g the cost of blades the cost is around 76c per week to run. When I compare that cost to the cost of the ride on running and maintenance, it wins hands down. If I had known that they made a solar powered model I would have bought it. But 50 million thumbs up on this product. Eggs sell ant! Have a nice day! :) Mostly that it works on it's own, and saves money! Very little.

These machines come in various flavours to suit all kinds of situations. So the price will vary on a case by case basis. Our installation was around 5k clams. Our block is just shy of an acre, so i... Read more
f you have a small block, there would be less cost. When I compare the cost of the installation to a ride on it's not that bad. Running/maintenance costs are a slam dunk in favour of the Automower. Show me a ride on that runs for 18c a week! And while it's mowing I'm doing other things. It's a win, win if you ask me, and does not pollute, dust is minimal and it saves me having to badger our young bloke to do it. Have a nice day.Just an update on our mower. It has mowed our lawn for 2719 hrs since April 2012. Power cost per week during that time has been about 15c per week to run. If I include the cost of blades (I still h... Read more
ave about 24 in hand) it is 54c a week. Which I think is pretty good considering. I have noticed the batteries are starting to degenerate and next year that will cost me around a 100 clams. But still on these figures it still beats a ride on of any kind. :) Have a nice day.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

You need a 450X for it to be effective. Check it out on : automowerquebec.com
As far as I am aware there is no maximum area. The model I purchased is the 230ACX and the manual states "40 kWh/month with a working area of 3 000 m²". An acre is about 4 047 m². My yard set up is for roughly 2 800 m², split into three separate areas on one wire. I paid about 5.5k clams all up for our system. I had to buy a signal repeater and an extra 250 m of boundary wire on top of the initial purchase. You will get a different price depending on the dealer you are dealing with and the model you are looking at. Husqvarna have produced a number of better models than the one I have since I bought it, including solar models. You can have two machines running in the one area, but when I looked into it you had to have two distinct charging stations for them, but you really need to talk to Husqvarna about the installation. Personally I would set up one machine in two different areas.
The price I paid roughly as above, but what price can you put on you and your families health? No pollution emissions, no dust, no grass cutting fumes and minimal maintenance.
K, I hope I have answered your questions, have a nice day.
