Husqvarna’s $1,020 Automower ditches gas and oil to automate yard care, more in New Green Deals

/in /by

While you might already have a robot vacuum at home, it’s likely you’re still using a more traditional lawn mower still. However, that’s all about to change. Not only does ditch gas and oil in favor of a built-in rechargeable battery, but it also mows the yard for you. That’s right, the Automower is a robot vacuum for your yard, meaning you won’t have to worry about breaking a sweat this summer in order to keep the grass cut. Today, the Automower is on sale for $1,020 from its normal $1,200 going rate, marking the lowest price that we’ve seen so far this year. We also have a wide selection of Tesla, Greenworks, and other e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.
