Our verdict
The bottom line
For estate owners with serious slopes. The 535 AWD does what no rival does — climbs 70% slopes that defeat every wheeled rotary. EPOS removes the boundary wire. Built to last 20 years. The most expensive domestic robot you can buy and worth it for the right buyer.

Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£1800–3500 used. EPOS reference station MUST be included. AWD diff oil and gearbox should have service history. Confirm satellite lock at the property. Husqvarna pro-grade robots have the best longevity in the category — service stamps add £400 to fair value.
Where to look: Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree are usually 20–30% cheaper than eBay UK for petrol mowers because most sellers want local pickup. eBay tends to win on cordless and electric (lighter, easier to ship). Always insist on a starting demonstration before paying.
