From a magazine advertisement, I saw this new gadget on sale in the market right now. It is a robotic lawn mower, which it will mow the lawn for you without any physical labor. How nice it is! The attractive point here is that all you need to do just sit down, and sip your beverage while monitoring this lawn mower work on its own. You can pick up the remote control, and maneuver its path on your front yard. So, under such hot heated sun, it will be nice to have a machine to do the job for you. The price for it is $3000, and it can run on 60 minutes, and it is solar hybrid. It need to be charged 45 minutes to full power. Well, it is definitely nice to have one, but it just out of my budget here. What do you think?

**LOL** Now that's what I would love to have. I hope it will pick up the branches and twigs that get in the way.. or I would still have to work. I want one of those robot vacuum cleaners.

If you have a lawn with the size of a football field then buy one, but if not then that's crazy spending something you don't really need. What I'm saying is this, you can hire someone to do the job of mowing or cutting the grass on your lawn if you don't have the time of doing it or if you can't do it yourself. This will be a good exercise too. You can even help out with kids who needs a part time job!! Hope this can help out in considering buying a lawn mower that expensive!

It is good to see new innovations in life such as the robotic lawn mower. There are two things we have to remember when making a sound decision before buying. First we have to know our-self,(e.g. health, finance, time, etc.)Second we have to give emphasis on the environmental impact. Let us examine the first choice, it would be safe to say that if you are overweight then the robotic lawn mower is not good for you, if you are handicapped then this would be good for you. Once you know where you stand then think about your finances (bank account) if you can afford to have one. Now, let us examine the second choice. We need to evaluate if the lawn mower uses crude oil to start the engine or just a simple manually operated mechanical rotary blades, compared to a solar powered engine, the simple manually operated mechanical rotary blades and latter (solar powered) sounds environment friendly. Also remember that the engineer who designs these things have its own purpose in mind. The simple manually operated mechanical rotary blades was first invented for people to have a good exercise and maintain good physical conditions under the heat of the sun, the solar hybrid is invented to combat air pollution derive by lawn mower and protection from the sun's melanoma skin cancer effect. How about outsource, contract it out.
