The picture above shows SmartMow’s 3 blade mulching system (Please see:  http://smartmow.com/blog/?p=16 ) after mowing my lawn this morning.  It’s been raining all week in my area, so the grass is a little longer than I typically mow it … showing you some larger grass pieces.

Regardless of the height you mow your lawn, the cleaning is the same.  Just power the SmartMow off and use the cleaning brush to clean the grass accumulation.

It’s better to clean the SmartMow shortly after use or you will get “caked on” grass that you can get off with a screw driver.   I typically run my SmartMow every 3 days and clean it in between runs.

It’s always great to hear from you!

SmartMow at CES 2009

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

We had a good time introducing SmartMow to everyone at the CES 2009 trade show.  There were lots of eager people wanting to get a SmartMow, and I also got to meet some bloggers, and one of my competitors as well.  It was a nice time making friends and getting to know people along with hearing concerns about robot lawn mowers, and additional features they were looking for.  We’re trying our best to add some of these features, before shipping the SmartMow in the spring.

SmartMow’s cutting and mulching capability.

Monday, December 29th, 2008

The SmartMow uses 3 small blades to mulch the grass while mowing the lawn.  According to About.com mulching is the best way to mow your lawn, keep your grass green, and reduce the work load of maintaining your lawn.

I typically use the SmartMow on the tallest setting (3-4 inches) and mow my grass frequently.   This results in the SmartMow producing very small grass clippings that feed the lawn.  In most of the video’s the SmartMow is on this setting, and may not properly display the mowing action as mentioned by many of our video viewers.

This is why we’ve created the following video.  In this video, we let the grass grow long and placed the SmartMow on the 2nd lowest setting.  We used these settings to better display the SmartMow’s cutting ability for the lawn, and may not display the best “mulching” situation as described above.  Please note that YouTube (and other video compression schemes) have pixelated the video.

As always, I really appreciate your feedback and I look forward to hearing from you.
