Electric Yard

Nice deal going on at Woot.com for the rest of today…a refurbished Neuton CE6 battery-powered lawn mower for $349.99 plus $5 shipping.  I have a Neuton that is 2 models older than this one and love it.  My CE4 (I think)  is about 3 years old and runs just fine.

The CE6 is the newest Neuton available.  It has a 19″ cutting path, a battery that will last for 1 hour on a charge and up to 5 years if properly maintained.  It is refurbished, but comes with a 2 year warranty from Neuton.  A refurbished CE6.3 direct from Neuton runs $474.00, so this is a good deal!

As with all Woot.com deals, this deal is only good today (August 7), but they seem to have the Neutons on their site fairly often.

Let me know in the comments if you get one!  Post your feedback in the forums as well!

Saw this on CrunchGear … a solar powered pool skimmer from Solar-Breeze.com.  According to the description, the Phoenix-based company claims the robot runs all day long while receiving sunlight, cleaning your pool of dust and dirt.  The skimmer will reduce your pump run-time, decreasing your power usage.  Since it operates on top of the water, it catches most things before they sink, which reduces the pump time, as well as reducing the amount of chemicals you need.

Don’t have a pool to test this one out…let me know if you buy one!  No word on if it will also carry drinks around the pool for you.
