The latest TVs, computers and high-tech kitchen gear tend to grab headlines, but garden gadgets and outdoor devices always excite us too. If you haven’t seen some of 2024’s top equipment for gardens, yards, pools and more, here are four items that can help you (or your landscaper) around the house this summer:
For the outdoor entertainer, The Grand by Mosqitter can ward off up to 93 percent of your yard’s mosquitoes through the use of light, heat and a blend of pheromones. The 4½-foot-tall device neutralizes about 2 acres at a time (resulting in a 93 percent reduction in mosquito bites), is safe for “good” insects like bees and butterflies and is perfect for any spot in the yard. A compact Mini version—ideal for tabletops and small spaces—is in the works
Tougher than your robotic vacuum, which may avoid uneven floors in your home, the all-wheel drive Mammotion Luba 2 10000 robot lawn mower is an all-terrain landscaper. It’s made to chomp grass, zip up and down the steepest slopes and traverse tough topography. Want a cool design mowed into your lawn? The Luba can be programmed to create custom patterns.
Most homeowners have considered composting, but many have been deterred by the thought of odors, gases, labor and mess. The Reencle Home Composter eliminates all of that and can turn food waste into fertile soil within 24 hours. The compact design controls odors while a rotating arm mechanism mixes the compost and aids in decomposition through fermentation—a process that prevents pockets of methane gas from forming.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know that your pool is safe and clean for swimming as soon as you wake up in the morning? The WaterGuru Sense S2 is a smart pool monitor that connects to a home network. It operates without a subscription and helps pool owners balance the chemistry of the water. The best part is that it sets up in the pool’s skimmer, meaning it’s not left to float around and get tossed by water jets or accidentally knocked into by swimmers. P.S.: It’s perfect for hot tubs too!
