Automate Outdoor Chores (NAPSA)—Although the work of mowing the lawn maybe a distant memory as holiday shopping takes priority, giving the gift of time this holiday could leave neighbors green with envy come spring. Keeping our lawns lovely is a time consuming part of homeownership, but it doesn’t have to be. Husqvarna, the makersof the Auto Mower, have theperfect gift solution for the time-compressed person on yourholiday shoppinglist. The Auto Mower is a handsfree, hassle-free approach to cutting the grass. The brains of the Auto Mower consist of a built-in microprocessor and a perimeter wire that carries a low voltage signal, which defines the outer boundary of the area to be cut. Just some simple programming andit’s set to run automatically. It cuts the grass day or night, rain or shine, while you’re at home or while you're away. A docking station serves as a conduit through which the mower recharges itself. When the Auto Mowerrecognizes that it’s low on power, it automatically locates the docking station and returns to recharge. Once fully recharged it resumes cutting grass, keeping the lawn manicured atall times. “With the Husqvarna Auto Mower, you can spend time with friends or family or take a vacation and return to a well-mani- cured lawn, because the lawn will be cut—automatically,” said John Bailey, business unit manager for consumer lawn and garden prod- ucts at Husqvarna. “In essenceit gives you moreleisure time—time you would usually dedicate to lawn maintenance.” According to Bailey, consumers should not confuse the term automatic with robotic. Some robotic lawn mowers on the market may sound like they’re hands-free, whenin fact, there is a high level of attention involved. However, the Husqvarna Auto Mower is truly automatic and does the work on its own leaving you time to do other enjoyable tasks like playing golf or spending quality time with your family. This season, as you’re making your list and checking it twice, consider who you could surprise this holiday with a very special gift—the gift of time.
