Husqvarna has unveiled today its newest version of its battery powered robotic lawn mower called the Automower. The Automower Hybrid charges itself using a charging base which combines electricity from a home power outlet and solar power to keep the mowers batteries full of juice. This model of the Automower is not only good for the environment by putting off zero emissions while mowing your yard it also practices a green method of improving your yard by not collecting the grass clippings. This allows the grass clipping to decompose and turn to mulch which makes your yard more lush and healthy. This hybrid version of the Automower itself is made of 90% recyclable material so no more rusty lawn mowers tossed into the landfills full of oil and gas.

I have had the non-solar model for about two years now, works great. I don’t know why I never got one sooner, I love it. I haven’t mowed my lawn in 2 years, and my lawn looks better than it ever has! Never had a problem, and Excellent Customer Support. What a great item, 5 Stars!!!!!

Well worth it! It Costs me about $25 a Year to operate and maintain. I was spending more than that a month on gas to mow my lawn. Does a great job and never a problem. I got mine from http://www.automowernj.com These guys were great!!!
