Airseekers Tron powerful robot lawn mower now crowdfunding with discount
The Airseekers Tron robot lawnmower, revealed last year, is now crowdfunding at Kickstarter. The model cuts your lawn and provides an automatic mulching feature to keep it healthy. At the time of writing, the Kickstarter campaign has more than 700 backers pledging over $1.1 million; for context, the project's funding goal was around $20,000.
The Tron robot mower uses a 360° camera and sensor system to navigate your lawn, meaning it does not require boundary wires and is suited to an area of 1,000² (~11,000 ft²). The Tron Max adds RTK, making it suitable for a larger 6,000 m² (~65,000 ft²) garden and allowing the device to work in the dark. The FlowCut system vacuums the grass to straighten the blades and cuts them at your chosen height before turning the clippings into mulch and sprinkling them over your lawn. You can control the mower in the company's app and choose a design to be mowed into your lawn. Other features include tackling up to 65% slopes and an edge-cutting mode.
You can currently pledge $1,299 to receive the Airseekers Tron, 48% lower than the $2,499 future retail price. The Airseekers Tron Max is available with a pledge of $1,499, 44% lower than the $2,699 RRP. The company is willing to ship the device anywhere in the world, with free shipping offered to customers in some countries; shipping is scheduled to begin this July. As with any crowdfunding campaign, there is no guarantee that backers will receive the product. A possible alternative model available at Amazon is the ECOVACS GOAT G1-800.
