A Hammacher Schlemmer exclusive, this lawnmower operates automatically using a computer-guidance system, which leaves you free to relax. The wire is connected to a battery-operated perimeter switch. To start the mower, you press a button on the perimeter switch that directs the mower to advance to the wire and trim the lawn along it. When the mower completes the perimeter, you press another button to instruct the mower to cut the lawn within the perimeter wire. No further attention is required.
Pneumatic sensors allow the mower to stop when it hits an obstacle.
Perimeter wire can be placed to guide the mower around flowerbeds and trees. The mower can be programmed for a specific time limit, or left alone to mow until its batteries are depleted. The robot also has a control unit for manual use. Unlike gas mowers, it makes only as much noise as a box fan, so it will not disturb neighbors with loud noises or fumes. Inc.
