SAVE $850: As of May 29, the Eufy Robot Lawn Mower E15 is on sale for $949.99 at Amazon. That's 47% off its list price of $1,799.99 and its best price on record.

I saw my first robot lawn mower in action at a local community center this week. I was a bit unnerved at first, but after gawking for a few moments, I was wowed by its performance. If cutting the grass is a chore you'd rather not do and you have the budget for it, you may want to consider one of these futuristic gadgets. While they can cost a pretty penny, Amazon just dropped the price of the Eufy Robot Lawn Mower E15 to make the investment less extreme.

As of May 29, the Eufy Robot Lawn Mower E15 is down to $949.99 at Amazon instead of its usual $1,799.99. That's a 47% price drop and the cheapest this model has ever been, according to our favorite price-tracking tool.

Ok, so they're not exactly new on the market, but robot lawn mowers are more advanced and accessible than ever.

The Eufy E15 utilizes stereo cameras, AI algorithms, and 3D sensors to distinguish your lawn's boundaries, avoid obstacles, and navigate your yard entirely on its own. It'll take a bit to map out your yard initially, but once it's familiar, you can view the complete layout on the app, manage zones, set custom exclusion areas, draw virtual walls, and more.

Mashable's sister site ZDNet tested it out and cheered that it's smart enough to not only avoid obstacles like patios, garden beds, and trees, but also toys randomly tossed in the yard or pets that cross in front of it. Eufy markets the E15 mower for yard up to 0.2 acres (8,700 square feet), but ZDNet's reviewer adds that it's also best for a "simple grassy yard with no steep slopes and a physical perimeter around it."

If that sounds like your yard, the Eufy E15 robot mower could be a great fit to take over your lawn care duties this summer. Snag it while it's nearly half its usual cost.
