Husqvarna Automower 310 Mark II - Husqvarna AB bets on smart mid-range mowing

Husqvarna Automower 310 Mark II hums quietly across a damp lawn, its LED headlights cutting a thin line of light through the dusk as the polymer housing glistens with beads of water. You barely hear it from the patio, just a faint whirr and the occasional click of the blades.

Mid-range robot for 1,000 m²

Product manager Anna Söderström describes the Husqvarna Automower 310 Mark II as a mid-range robot mower tailored for gardens up to about 1,000 m², with typical work areas starting around 500 m². The compact model uses a three-blade cutting disc and random navigation to avoid track marks while trimming grass down to a user-selectable cutting height.

Unlike Husqvarna’s higher-end 400 and NERA lines, the Automower 310 Mark II relies on a perimeter wire and a charging station that you install once and then leave alone for seasons. The chassis carries an IPX4 rating for weather resistance, and the mower handles slopes of up to roughly 40% gradient, a level that covers most private lawns but stays below Husqvarna’s steep-hill specialist units.

Battery, scheduling and app control

Under the housing, Husqvarna uses a replaceable lithium-ion battery that gives the Automower 310 Mark II typical cutting cycles of about 50–70 minutes, followed by automatic docking at the base for recharging. The mower’s own firmware then resumes the schedule once the battery is full, so you rarely need to intervene during the mowing season beyond occasional cleaning.

The model supports Bluetooth-based Automower Connect app control via a smartphone, which lets users start, stop, park and adjust settings without bending down to the physical keypad. Husqvarna offers optional connectivity modules for selected markets, but the 310 Mark II’s core feature set focuses on local app control paired with on-device scheduling and a small but legible monochrome display under the hatch.

Safety, sensors and frost guard

Husqvarna equips the Automower 310 Mark II with standard safety features including lift and tilt sensors, so the blades stop quickly if someone raises the unit or it tips past its design angle. Collision sensors and a front bumper help the mower detect obstacles and adjust its path, while the blades sit well inside the housing to reduce the risk of cuts for curious children and pets.

One detail that owners notice on cool mornings is the built-in frost guard, which prevents the Automower 310 Mark II from starting when ground temperatures drop below a defined threshold to protect the lawn. A rain sensor is not standard, but Husqvarna intentionally designs the mower to operate in wet conditions, accepting a slightly lower cut quality to keep grass short when weather is changeable.

Installation, maintenance and accessories

The initial installation involves laying the boundary wire around the perimeter of the garden, including narrow passages and islands such as flower beds, then connecting it to the charging station. Husqvarna publishes step-by-step guides and offers dealer installation services, but many owners still tackle the job themselves over a weekend with the included pegs and wire.

Routine maintenance is limited mainly to replacing the snap-off blades every few weeks, depending on use, and brushing away dried grass from the chassis and wheels. Husqvarna sells blade kits and cleaning tools through its dealer network and online shops, while third-party accessories like shelters for the charging station are widely available and compatible with the 310 Mark II’s footprint.

Position in the Automower range

Within Husqvarna’s Automower lineup, the 310 Mark II sits above smaller 100-level units and below 400-series and NERA robots that offer GPS-assisted navigation or wire-free boundary solutions. Husqvarna’s marketing documents show the 310 Mark II as a step-up choice for owners whose lawns outgrow entry-level models but who do not need premium features such as satellite navigation or all-wheel drive.

CEO Henric Andersson has repeatedly highlighted robotic mowing and connected garden tools as key growth areas for Husqvarna AB. In quarterly presentations, management points to increasing penetration of robotic mowers in Europe and growing awareness in North America, where Husqvarna competes with both traditional mower brands and newer technology-focused entrants.

Pricing and availability

On Husqvarna’s German site and major retailers, the Husqvarna Automower 310 Mark II typically lists with a recommended price around 1,400–1,600 EUR, depending on kit contents such as included boundary wire and installation materials. Street prices fluctuate with promotions and bundles, but the model clearly positions above entry-level robots while undercutting larger, more advanced units in Husqvarna’s stable.

Availability is broad across Husqvarna’s European network, with the 310 Mark II offered through specialist dealers, DIY chains and online shops. In some Nordic markets, Husqvarna provides subscription-style services via partners, combining the hardware with installation and seasonal maintenance, though the precise service structures differ by country and dealer.

Market context and Husqvarna share

Robotic mowers now represent a material part of Husqvarna AB’s Consumer and Professional segment revenues, with Automower among the brand names most frequently mentioned in market reports. The Husqvarna Automower 310 Mark II contributes to this portfolio as a volume mid-range unit aimed at typical suburban lawns rather than niche terrain.
