Automower Solar Hybrid: That's One Smart Lawn-Mowing Robot!

If you're like many other homeowners, you dread the task of spending a Saturday baking in the hot summer sun and pouring down sweat while you cut your grass. Mowing the lawn is not only bothersome and time-consuming, but it also places you at the mercy of Mother Nature, who doesn't seem to care that you have a full-time job, family and other household responsibilities when she decides to unleash a torrential downpour. Hiring someone else to do it gets expensive. You can now reclaim your weekends and save the recurring cost of paying a landscaper to mow for you with the Automower Solar Hybrid.

The Automower Solar Hybrid from Husqvarna is an invention that almost seems too good to be true. Not only is the Automower Solar Hybrid fully automatic, it is also partially powered by sunlight. Whether you use a mower that requires fuel to run, or you have an electric mower, which is just plain cumbersome, you are using more energy than the Automower Solar Hybrid requires. The solar panel on top of the Automower Solar Hybrid harvests sunlight to help power your mower. When the device needs more power, this intuitive little robot makes its way back to the charging station. Approximately 45 minutes of charge time gives your Automower Solar Hybrid about 60 minutes of mow time. You're not only saving energy that which is harvested from the environment, you are saving yours as well.

The Automower Solar Hybrid isn't just for perfectly flat lawns with no adornments. With the ability to handle slopes up to 35% as well as rough terrains, it is suitable for yards up to ½ acre in size. Set up is easy. Just staple the included wire to the ground around the perimeter of your yard and the Automower Solar Hybrid will stay within that area. You can also use the wire to protect trees, shrubs and flower beds. Best of all, you don't even have to be home to supervise the process. The Automower Solar Hybrid comes with a timer that can be set for any time during the day – rain or shine. An anti-theft alarm and the requirement to enter a four digit pass code to operate, helps to keep your mower safe from potential thieves.

While the $2,000 price tag may sound steep, the Automower Solar Hybrid quickly pays for itself. Not only does the Automower Solar Hybrid only consume about $12 to $25 of electricity annually, it's also super quiet compared to a conventional mower. Anyone who needs to mow their lawn during a child's naptime or early in the morning can appreciate this feature. And so will your neighbors!
