Some things just get tougher all of the time. Copping out used to be a lot easier for some wheelchair users but inclusion, accessibility, and adaptive devices have made it ever more difficult to bounce out of those humdrum chores that no one likes to do. Mowing the lawn has always been one of those chores that doesn’t lend itself well to pairing up with a wheelchair. Push a wheelchair and mower at the same time across traction-less grass and uneven turf? Not if you can help it. Here comes some good luck for the couch potatoes. You can now give your lawn a haircut from your wheelchair, or your porch, or from your couch. Now that’s real bad news isn’t it? Husqvarna has just introduced its new Automower hybrid powered robotic lawn mower. |

This sleek cutter is as green as a St. Patrick’s Day hat. Its hybrid power plant runs on a combination of solar power and electricity and ninety percent of the Automower is made from recycled materials. Just place a cable around the perimeter of your mowing area and turn it loose. It stays within the boundary and out of the tulips while cutting grass to a fine mulch that stays on your lawn as fertilizer. That means no having to empty bags. When all is done the Automower will head straight to its charging station and call it a day. You can’t beat that for knocking off a nasty chore. |
