One of the most tedious tasks many homeowners face is their lawn care, but now they can tackle that chore with the help of a robotic lawnmower.
The Lymow One, which works a lot like the robot vacuums that have been around awhile, was one of the numerous new products unveiled at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a popular annual event for tekkies, startups and marketers alike.
This year’s edition of the nearly 50-year-old CES attracted more than 141,000 attendees, 4,500 exhibitors and more than 6,000 media professionals to its three venues near the Las Vegas strip last week.
The Lymow One mower that was on display gained much publicity: It features track treads that are akin to tank wheels, as well as mulching blades.
It’s designed specifically for tackling larger, more complex lawns, and its makers promise “unparalleled terrain adaptability.” They say it can cover five times as much lawn as competitor models, or nearly a quarter of an acre per hour and up to 1.73 acres each day.
The mower particularly impressed one Microsoft News reviewer, Ruth Hamilton, who wrote:
“Most lawnbots have wheels, but this guy comes with tracks like a tank, for improved speed and stability. It can clear obstacles up to two inches in height and traverse inclines of up to 45 degrees, even if said incline is wet and slippery.”
Lymow’s launching follows a successful Kickstarter campaign and “has piqued my interest specifically because founder and CEO Wangshu Gao used to run the R&D department at SharkNinja and also previously co-founded Narwal,” Hamilton notes.
“That means he has experience with some of the best robot vacuums around, and while it’s not exactly the same thing, it seems he’s brought plenty of expertise from that related market into creating the Lymow One.”
Says Gao himself:
“Most robotic mowers today are built for small yards, but many US homes have large, complex lawns. As a result, these mowers often serve as a supplement rather than a true replacement for traditional mowers.
“With Lymow One, we’re taking a different approach. Our product is designed to fully replace traditional mowers, delivering superior automated lawn care.”
Priced at $2,999, the Lymow One will be available in April.
4 More Products Unveiled at This Year’s Vegas Show
Other products introduced to CES 2025 attendees last week included:
- Segway Navimow’s X3 Series2
Yes, robotic lawnmowers are hot out there in research and development departments. This one is designed to maintain up to 2.5-acre lawns “with unparalleled efficiency and expanded functionality.”
Its features include enhanced VisionFence technology, “which extends the mower’s field of view and enables efficient AI-driven route planning and reliable obstacle avoidance.”
Need more specs? They include: A 2-in-1 mower and trimmer solution, 27-degree climbing capability, anti-theft design, animal protection, real-time insights and smart-home integration.
- Nike x Hyperice Recovery Boots
Ahh … those aching feet! These Nike boots will comfort those dogs with topical warmth and compression. First deployed at the Paris Olympics, the boots have since been refined and also come with a vest you can wear.
Trade show and marketing pros who tried the boots last week at CES 2025 reported significant relief from their trade-show foot pain, making the footwear a hit among the attendees.
“Recovery is an important part of any athlete’s journey, but we’re hearing from athletes that this concept of ‘pre-covery’ is equally as important,” says Tobie Hatfield, senior director of Nike Athlete Innovation.
“The footwear and vest that we’ve developed with Hyperice help get the body ready for activity, whether you’re playing for a title or you’re on your feet a lot at work.”
- LG’s Transparent 4K OLED TV
This TV “combines stunning visuals with a transparent design” — as if you’re watching through a windshield or an opened window. CES 2025 attendees found its display to be brighter and offering better contrast in ambient light, which particularly impressed tech enthusiasts among the crowd.
It is a bit pricey at nearly $60,000, but the 4K OLED does pack the latest in smart-TV technology with a cinema-like, 77-inch display.
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs:
GPUs, or graphics processing units, are important to gamers, AI developers and creative professionals because they mean more speed and efficiency in high-performance computing.
“GPUs have been called the rare Earth metals — even the gold — of artificial intelligence, because they’re foundational for today’s generative AI era,” says maker NVIDIA. It notes that its GPUs employ parallel processing, can “scale up to supercomputing heights” and that the “GPU software stack for AI is broad and deep.”
“Today, more than 40,000 companies use NVIDIA GPUs for AI and accelerated computing, attracting a global community of 4 million developers,” the company boasts. “Together they’re advancing science, healthcare, finance and virtually every industry.”
