I’ve often dreamt about these. And now here they are, in North America - robotic lawn mowers! You don’t ride them - I guess you just turn them on, go get your drink, and catch some rays while they take care of your grass.

Apparently, they’re so quiet, you can even run them at night. Hmmm. Yeah. Right. Not sure what the Neighbour From Hell would think of that one.

“The LawnBott’s are electric, producing zero-emissions, and quiet, so they can operate any time of day or night and not disturb the neighbors. Small and lightweight, at only 21 lbs. for the Evolution model, they can mow around obstacles and within narrow pathways and cover lawns of up to ¾ of an acre. Once programmed, they will mow your lawn everyday. When the LawnBott starts its cutting cycle, it leaves the docking station and begins to cut the yard in a random pattern, if its battery starts to get low, LawnBott will return to recharge itself without any human intervention!”

This rather scary looking tool definitely looks heavy-duty, but when you take a gander at what it can do, it transmogrifies into a Very Useful Thing.

With features like a 4.5 amp motor, and a 4-inch cut capacity for big branches, this is heavy-duty indeed. And those ferocious looking teeth? They’re for cutting branches in one motion.

If you’re needing a new trimmer and want something that will just plow through your workload, the Black & Decker LP1000 might be the pruner to check out.
