Magic Mower

Say you’ve put in the time and effort to cultivate your patch of green. But you don’t seem to have enough time to tend to it these days. This Bluetooth-enabled lawn mower is just the thing you need. Similar to a robotic vacuum cleaner, it works through the Gardena Bluetooth app that let’s you set a protective boundary guide around the lawn, and the mower will get to work. Once it finishes, it’ll rolls itself to the charging station, where about 75 minutes of charge can power it for 65 minutes. What’s more, it’s pretty silent as well.
