SmartMow (robot-mower)

I know this is not the lawn mowing season and if you are like me then you must have been enjoying it because no one wants to spend time in hot summer cutting grass. But like a cup of hot coco good times also have to come an end and soon it will be summer again but no worries this summer you can be ready with SmartMow by Robolabs, Inc. SmartMow is a garage gadget, where it might not be the best way to cut grass, it sure beats the traditional method of cutting grass with heavy equipment under hot sun. SmartMow is re-chargeable and one charge lasts about 2 to 3 hours and cover the area of 1/6 acre. SmartMow will cost you about $175 only if you pre-order now if you choose to wait till its official release in spring,09 then it will cost you roughly $700 total. SmartMow is a great product but like similar product in the past be ready to come across some glitches and remember not every robot is perfect (yet).
