Husqvarna Automower 305
£1,000, Husqvarna
While some are wary of robots becoming sentient, we're all for embracing the automated future – and the Husqvana Automower 305 is a step in the right direction. Husqvarna appreciates that menial household chores are fraught with tediousness and understands that getting some fresh air behind a push-mower sure ain't what it used to be.

Sure, it won't fetch your dinner, or tuck you in at night, but it will have your grass in tip top shape, while you put your feet up and enjoy a beer or several. It even has an anti-theft system built inside, with an alarm and pin code – just in case Bob from next door is peering enviously over the fence at your robot lawnmower. The grass really is greener on the other side.
