Introducing the Husqvarna Automower® 405XE NERA
In a country where the sun is strong, the seasons unpredictable, and lawns grow faster than we can keep up—Husqvarna’s Automower® 405XE NERA arrives as a game-changer for Aussie homeowners. Whether you’re managing a compact inner-city patch or a mid-sized suburban block, this intelligent robotic mower makes lawn care as simple as opening an app.
Let’s dive into what makes the 405XE NERA ideal for Australian conditions—and why it might be the best addition to your backyard since the Hills Hoist.
🧠 What is the Husqvarna 405XE NERA?
The Automower 405XE NERA is a premium robotic lawn mower, purpose-built for residential lawns up to 600 m². It offers precise, low-maintenance mowing with a suite of smart features like:
Virtual boundaries (no wire required)
App control via Automower® Connect
EdgeCut tech for cleaner edges
Smart obstacle detection
Self-charging & autonomous scheduling
With Australian homeowners in mind, this model is built to handle a variety of lawn types, slope conditions, and seasonal changes across states.
🇦🇺 Why It’s Perfect for Aussie Lawns
✅ Built for Varied Conditions
Whether you live in sunny Queensland, breezy Victoria, or shaded suburbs in Sydney, the 405XE NERA can handle mixed conditions. It manages slopes up to 30%, and its IPX5 weatherproof rating means it can mow even in light rain—so you don’t have to wait for perfect weather.
✅ Works with or without boundary wires
Aussie gardens are rarely “perfect rectangles”—you’ve got pool zones, veggie patches, and garden beds. The 405XE NERA supports Husqvarna’s EPOS™ technology, which allows completely wire-free installation (sold separately). That means:
No digging wires around the perimeter
Quick adjustments for new garden zones
Temporary “no-go” areas for pets, seasonal flowers, or events
Live in a newer home with satellite visibility? EPOS is the future-proof choice. Have tall fences or lots of trees? Traditional wire install is still fully supported.
✅ Cuts close to the edge — less whipper-snipping
Thanks to EdgeCut, the mower uses a dedicated rear disc to cut extremely close to the edge of your lawn. This reduces the amount of edge trimming needed — especially useful for those clean lines along paths, fences, and garden beds.
📱 Smart Control from Anywhere
With the Automower® Connect app, you’re in full control no matter where you are:
Start or stop mowing on demand
Adjust cutting height (20mm to 55mm)
Set schedules to suit local water restrictions or noise ordinances
Create virtual zones (e.g., “front yard only” or “avoid veggie patch”)
Receive notifications if it gets stuck or moved
Whether you're at Bunnings on a Saturday or travelling interstate, your lawn stays perfectly groomed.

🌱 Eco-Friendly, Low-Energy Operation
Unlike petrol mowers, the 405XE NERA is battery-powered and produces zero direct emissions. It uses only about 11 kWh per month on average—which is cheaper than a cup of coffee and far less than fuelling up a traditional mower.
Plus, it mulches the grass finely, returning nutrients to your soil and reducing green waste.
🔐 Safety & Security
Australia’s unpredictable weather and curious pets (or kids) aren’t a problem. The mower includes:
Rain sensors – will pause mowing during heavy rainfall
PIN code + alarm system – stops unauthorised use
Lift/tilt sensors – blades stop immediately if disturbed
GeoFence + GPS tracking – get alerts if it’s removed from your property
🔧 Simple Maintenance
Maintenance is minimal—just:
Replace blades every few months (easy DIY)
Give it a quick hose-off now and then (it's waterproof!)
Keep firmware up to date via Wi-Fi or app
Compared to petrol mowers (oil, spark plugs, fuel, air filters), it’s practically zero fuss.
Is the 405XE NERA Right for You?
✅ Great for:
Homes with medium lawns (up to 600 m²)
Gardeners who want low-effort maintenance
Properties with varied zones or garden features
Tech-savvy homeowners who love automation

❌ May not suit:
Very large properties (better suited to higher-end models like the 450X NERA)

Owners who prefer “hands-on” lawn care and manual control
