Perhaps I’ve watched too much Star Trek over the years but sometimes you look at something and just think to yourself that there has to be a better way. For years now I’ve been convinced that electric wires cords would one day be a thing of the past. Just didn’t know how it would actually be accomplished.

I’m sure we are going to be seeing a lot more of this technology down the line. I wonder which of the companies I should invest in now before the stock skyrockets?

Put the LB1200 Spyder robotic mower down on the lawn, turn it on, and walk away! Using the natural limitations of your yard, the Spyder will cut for up to five hours. When the lawn mowing is done, just switch off the robotic mower and keep it in garage. The Spyder is the world’s first robotic Lawn mower that doesn’t use a perimeter wire to operate. Patented sensors actually ‘sense’ when the mower is over grass, reversing direction when over walkways, curbs, patios and mulched areas. This robotic mower uses renewable electricity for its operation that saves on your gasoline bill and is also environmental friendly. The battery is rechargeable and once recharged it can mow for up to 5 hours.

With the LB2110 LawnBott, you get many of the features as its higher-priced cousins, but with a more economical lead-acid battery. Now with blade modulation, the computer can slow down the blade over low grass, conserving energy and extending runtime. Fully autonomous, the LB2110 will cut your grass several days per week, or more, leaving its docking station as programmed, cutting your lawn for up to 3 hours, and then return to its docking station to recharge its batteries, all on its own. After it recharges itself, the LB2110 can will leave its docking station all by itself and cut again!

With its bump sensors, the LB2110 will stop and reverse direction after encountering an obstacle such as a tree or garden wall. This safety feature also protects the mower against movable items that may have been left in the Lawn, such as a baby bicycle.

LawnBott LB2110 is lightweight just 18 lbs. the LB1200 is easy to carry, thanks in part to its hi-tech Lithium-Ion battery, which offers lots of power and little weight. Let it cut often so there is NO bagging, NO clippings, and NO mess. With its 4-wheel drive, slopes up to 27º are no problem. Designed for smaller yards up to 5,500 sq. ft, you can let it cut virtually anytime, since its electric motors are very quiet.

How big is your Lawn?

Every robotic lawn mower model has different capacity to suit the customer needs. The high end robotic lawn mowers can cut of 3-4 acres without recharge. Has the capacity increase the price also.

If your lawn has steep slopes, then you need to verify the robotic mower specifications whether the mower can handle such steep inclinations.

Safety Feature of Robotic mowers

The Safety feature of robotic lawn mowers is very important. The robotic lawn mowers comes with sharp blades, so we need to ensure that it has inbuilt safety features to prevent injuries. Advanced robotic mowers come with sensors; these sensors stop the blades when you lift the robotic mower from lawn.

Power Source – battery or gasoline

Robotic mowers come in gasoline or rechargeable battery models. The gasoline robotic mowers tag price are a little cheaper but you end up having to purchase and transport gasoline so it may be a little costlier and not as environment friendly. Whereas a rechargeable battery-operated robotic mower can mow up to 6 hours and be recharged. These robotic lawn mowers have minimum operating costs and are very environment friendly, they don’t pollute the environment.

So what say we grab that lemonade now and start mowing the lawn!

British inventor Tom Lawton’s new eco-invention called the Firewinder offers a glimpse of things yet to come. For now it’s a 100% wind-powered decorative outdoor light, but how will this invention inspire Tom or others in the future? The ability to capture and use sustainable and renewable resources is the foundation of the environmental movement of today. Inventions like Tom’s set the path for future.
