They daren't mention the price though, or if it can cope
with mole hills in its path.


Consider that a small lawn mover takes 400W and something that actually
cuts crass more than 1/8 long takes 1000W plus. Petrol mowers with much
more power seem to work better.

This uses same as a standard light bulb (40W?) and at over a grand it's
an expensive toy.
