Husqvarna Panthera Leo Mower Is Electric-Powered, LCD-Equipped

4:30PM Adrian Covert | Growing up, I hated mowing the lawn. My backyard was huge, my allergies were bad and I was stuck with a temperamental push mower. If I had this battery-powered Husqvarna mower, however, I would have begged to do yard work. More »

F1 Inspired Lawnmower: Yardwork Just Got a Lot Sexier

9:45AM Sean Fallon | Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could bust out of your garage sporting one of these F1 concept lawnmowers from Kadeg Boucher of France? You would surely be the new king of the cul-de-sac. The mower features a steering wheel with an LCD display, an F1-style front wing, full racing suspension, rear view mirrors and a spark plug with race helmet. It also comes in three styles —Schumacher/Ferrari red, white and John Player Lotus black-and-gold. Again, this mower is a concept, so don’t expect to find one at the local hardware store. Too bad, because I know a lot of hardcore suburbanites who would pay a lot of good money for one of these. More »

Fancy Lawnmower Doesn’t Come with This Guy, Unfortunately

6:20AM Seamus Byrne | We love the show American Inventor here at the Giz. Not because it pumps out inventions we’d actually want, but because it highlights how insane inventors are. Take a look at this horny grandpa who uses his crazy laugh and saucy ways to get his fancy lawnmower past the committee of “experts” on the show. Keep on keepin’ on, lecherous old man.

Three-in-One Lawn Care Device Mows, Throws and Blows

12:15AM Seamus Byrne | Why take up all that room in your garage for a lawnmower, leaf collector and snow blower when you can have this three-in-one device that handles all three tasks and only requires a third of the space? Oh, wait. You can’t have this device because it’s just a concept, but its modular design by Gustav Lamberg looks like a good idea, taking care of all of your internal combustion duties with just one noisemaking smoke-belching contraption instead of three. There’s not much explanation offered with these 3D renderings, but it appears that you attach a different front assembly for each of the three tasks. However, for a lot of the snowfall we see out here in the frozen tundra, that snow blower is not going to be quite tall enough. As a leaf collector, the device is going to need some sort of receptacle, too. If he takes care of those small details, all Gustav has to do is add solar power, an electric motor with a long-lasting battery and robotic capabilities, and he’ll be on to something here.
