Not problem engender the Furby and the Fitbit , but you ’ll have to wait until outpouring to get your hands on one of the new Troy Bilt Flex . But mark my words – next springtime ? Thistoytool may change how everyone thinks about lawn equipment — and here ’s why . One floor , lots of fun attachment . Simple . What guy ( gal ) would n’t want this in histoy boxgarage . This may be one mower that really pass water it out to do the lawn ! It ’s a transformer - meets - foliage blower . Oh Mr. Witwicki – Pinch me , it ’s 2014 .
SO when a lawn and garden intersection wee-wee it to a hip tech trend internet site like Gizmodo – dwelling of Furby and Fitbits , it ’s deserving noting . A lawn machine being insure by a tech site along side Apple iPhone Watches ? Really , what ’s this reality amount too ? Furby , Fitbits and Flex .
OK – so upfront ? Sure — I am a spokesperson ( Saturday 6 member ) for Troy Bilt , but hear – this station has nothing to do with that – this is one that I am posting on my own just because of it ’s coolheaded - ingredient ) . While doing my daily William Holman Hunt for pattern drift on of all sites , Gizmodo – I see this : The Troy Bilt Flex . And I thought “ Holy Cow – they really did do it”(because we in the production invention business bed that seldom does something that another room decorator shows you a year before , ever make it to the grocery store ) . I saw a snitch peak oh this last February while it was top secret , but frankly , I just suppose that it would never make it to market .
But hey , you got ta admit – it is a little nerveless .
And the fact that it end up being deal by Gizmodo shows just how progressive and modern some products can be – I mean , really – a snowblower along side Apple Watches and Fit Bits ? Anyway , I thought that I would steal a hew photos online and cobble them together in Photoshop to show you how they might all reckon line up , as most of the publicity photos are too silky and at dissimilar angles . I was really tempted to plan an info graphic – but I cerebrate that you get the idea from these . I
I do hope that it is knock-down , as the price looks higher than I expected , as $ 400 for just the power base might not win over people to invest as they will still need to buy another adhesion to make it work – like buy an Xbox before you purchase a television set – but then again , we are sort of used to that variety of matter . The hurdle may be that everyone already has a plane screen TV , no one has this power base yet , and when a client goes into a Lowes or ironware storage necessitate for the Troy Bilt Flex , will they want to dish up out $ 800 or more for moderate compass snow cetacean mammal ? Perhaps . Guys love their toys . My hypnotism is that they will need to put a middling unequaled ad campaign behind this – something really unlike and plot changing to pass that values . Hey – for quad saving alone , it ’s sort of like one snowblower with lots of different attachments . Brilliant . I wish them lot .
I will be true in that I knew that this ware was being release sometime presently , ( which now happens to be next spring ) because I did get to see a sneak peak of this product late February ( at least a rendering on paper ) . Always prissy to see when something becomes genuine . As a Cartesian product designer by day , I love how sometimes thing can take longer , or never make it to grocery due to quality control , sales or monetary value simplification .
We always say that product design is like demise and unicorns . Or maybe a good way to say it is that often , great concepts are like construct cars . The prototype never seem to make it to market .
I will say that I am impressed with this ‘ Transformer ’ of Lawn Care .
