Mom? Dad? Jim? Pretty much anybody with a lawn who hates mowing or travels a lot?
May I introduce you to your new best friend: This little guy.
Those crafty Swedes at Husquvarna came up with this handy lawn mowing robot. It kind of goes without saying since I am devoting a blog post to it, but I am seriously impressed with this bit of engineering. So, excuse me while I do a bit of unpaid advertising.
Husquvarna has been working on this product for a long time. The first models, launched in 1995, were solar powered.
Lena has one of these to take care of her lawn in Sätra since someone is up there only sporadically and it works like a charm. (I didn’t take any pictures of it at work while we were up there, so none of these picture are of her lawn.)
They can work in the rain. They are completely silent.
They run off electricity with a little base they go into when it’s time to to take a break and recharge.
They handle edges and obstacles with no problem at all.
There are no piles of clippings that build up anywhere.
And of course, the main point: It keeps the lawn well trimmed. All. The. Time.
Seriously nifty.
Is it something that mows every day? Do you pre-program it to the dimensions of your lawn? It must mow every day if there are no clippings to deal with which we have when we mow once a week. Is it set on a timer as to when it runs? Anyway, very nifty n clever. I'll put it on my shopping list!! BLL
