The “Power Mower of the Future” is demonstrated in Port Washington, Wis., Oct 14, 1957. The lawnmower has a five foot diameter plastic sphere in which the rider sits on an air foam cushioned seat. It has its own electric generating system for operating running lights, a radio telephone, air conditioning and even a cooling system to provide a chilled drink on a hot day. It can be used for many purposes. It can mow the lawn, weed it, feed it, seed it, spray for insects, plow snow and haul equipment. It can even be used as a golf cart.

Where do I go when the aircon in my grass trimmer breaks? Guess I could call for assistance, that’s handy.
It was the 50s, appliances took 15 years to break instead of 15 months
