The verdict

Why it scored a 82

At $3,499.99 plus a separate EPOS reference station purchase, the 420 iQ is the priciest mower here, and Value is the clear drag at 58. Quality leads at 94: Husqvarna's satellite RTK positioning and radar obstacle avoidance back a 4-year unit warranty plus 3 years on the battery, the strongest coverage in the category. Reviewers call it the reliability 'safe bet,' but note the radar trails LiDAR rivals and rear-wheel drive can slip on hills.
