A Robot Lawnmower
$1,699 at BJs Wholesale Club
You remember the Roomba, right?
Little, round robot disc thing, zooms around the house and vacuums while you sit on the couch and watch movies you've already seen?
Well, guess what? Now there's a little robot thing that will cut your grass while you sit on the couch and watch movies you've already seen!
It's the Robomower, brought to you by the people at Friendly Robotics.
Just take it to the lawn, press "Go" and off it ... goes!
If you're not home, no worries! Set the timer and it will undock itself and get to work, then return to the docking station to recharge when it's done.
It works much like the Roomba: If it bumps into something, it knows to stop, back up and go around.
It also has a remote — for those hard to reach places. And a rain sensor. So, if it starts raining while your Robomower is cutting the grass, it will stop in its tracks and hibernate like a turtle.
And, no worries about picking up the clippings — the built-in mulch feature re-distributes the clippings into the soil.
It's virtually silent, so it won't disturb you while you recite the lines to the movie you're watching along with the characters.
It charges on the docking station, so no messy gas refills either.
If you heard the whee!whee!whee! slasher music on this one instead of angels singing, rest assured, it has a safety feature. Whenever the unit is tilted, it automatically shuts off.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to my movie.
You stay classy, San Diego.
