What is the difference between the Husqvarna Automower 315 and 315X?

The 315X adds GPS anti-theft tracking and Automower Connect app control over the base 315. Both mowers cover the same area (up to 1,500 m²), use the same 22 cm cutting width, run on the same chassis, and produce identical mowing results. The 315X commands a used price premium of £70 to £90 over the 315.

Is the Husqvarna Automower 315 worth buying used in 2026?

Yes, particularly if you do not need GPS anti-theft or app connectivity. Used 315 units at £350–£490 with an installed boundary wire are among the best-value robot mowers on the UK secondary market. The chassis, cutting quality, and weather resistance are identical to the 315X at a lower price.

Which Husqvarna Automower is best for a small garden?

For gardens under 800 m², both the 315 and 315X are more than adequate — they are both rated to 1,500 m², so a smaller garden will be maintained very efficiently. The 315 is better value used for a straightforward small garden. Move up to the 315X if you want GPS security or app scheduling.

When is the best time to buy a used Husqvarna Automower 315 or 315X?

November is the optimal buying month. Sellers close gardens at the end of the season, supply peaks, and prices fall 10 to 15% below the spring high. Both the 315 and 315X follow the same seasonal pattern — the same timing advice applies to both models.

Which should you buy?

Choose Husqvarna Automower 315

Choose the Husqvarna Automower 315 if you have a secure, walled or fenced garden and do not need remote schedule management. The mowing experience is identical to the 315X, and the £70–£90 saving is real money. Buy in November at the seasonal low for the best price.

★ Choose Husqvarna Automower 315X

Choose the Husqvarna Automower 315X if you keep the mower in a shared garden, on an exposed property, or if app scheduling matters to you — checking battery status, pausing the mower remotely, or getting an alert if it leaves the boundary. The GPS anti-theft paid for the upgrade on its own on any claim. The 315X also holds its value slightly better.

Bottom line

For a secure, private garden, the 315 is the smarter used buy. For any property with theft risk or a need for remote control, pay the extra £70–£90 for the 315X. Both are among the best-value used robot mowers available in the UK.
