Solar Lawnmower: Automower by Husqvarna

Love that it’s silent. I’d prefer to see an troop of tiny cheap robots performing the job but this is a start.

Besides the quietude, I can see that there are multiple environmental benefits. No bagging: it’s pure mulch mower. Reduced fugitive emissions. Owners can cancel their US$40/week landscaping contract, and count the savings against the capital and operating cost of the Automower Hybrid (said to be around $20.00/year in electricity). Wonder what the payback period would be in California?
