The Hover Mower by Eastman Industries
The Hover Mower by Eastman IndustriesThe Hover Mower by Eastman Industries

Eastman Industries has taken the lawn mower to a new level (literally). The Hover Mower is designed to hover slightly above the ground on a cushion of air, making it more maneuverable, extremely light, easy to propel and able to reach previously inaccessible places like extreme inclines, wet grounds, and tight, difficult to get at places.

Let us know your thoughts in the Comments if you have ever had the opportunity to use one or already own one. It makes perfect sense to me, very cool.

  • 2 H.P. 2 Cycle Robin EC04 Engine
  • Diaphragm carburetor for continuous operation on slopes with extreme inclines
  • 1/2" x 3" cut height (industry's highest)
  • 16" cutting width
  • Reversible stainless steel blades for long life and clean cut
  • Heavy duty 1/4" thick polyethylene deck (industry's toughest)
  • New high performance impeller with separate hub design
  • Ergonomic 52" handles for extended reach

There is nothing new about this at all. The Flymo hover lawnmower has been around since the 70’s!
Good idea but don’t take credit for something new when the idea is probably older than the marketing genius behind this.

i don’t have a whole lot to add aside from agreeing with this others that hover mowers have been around a very long time. and the company that made the original (flymo) is still around and still making hovering mowers.

I’ve used a similar mower and it worked great. Particullarly on steep banks. You can tie a rope to the handle and lower it down from the top of the bank and walk back and forth at the top of the bank holding it on the grade with the rope.
It had a metal blade.

These are great, but don’t put your hand under the cover when it is going… I lost three fingers doing this. I also pulled it over my foot once, lost my big toe.

Don’t use them on gravel either, it flies everywhere, it’s a good job we are born with two eyes. I’m getting the hang of judging distance again.

With my luck this thing would start up and just fly away.

actually, it’s not clear whether it’s blades or string cutting…the blurb above says blades, but when you go to the hammacher site, it says nylon strings. so which is it?

This makes no sense to me. If it’s busy shooting air in a downward direction making it float, dfoes the shooting air not push down on the grass being that teh grass is directly beneath the mower and teh only thing which the mower can push on? Would this not flatten the grass momentarily? Would the flattening of the grass reduce the amount cut by the mower making it difficult to actually cut the grass? Just some questions from an engineer.

So, has anyone heard of the flymo?
Geez, shut up with that, you freaking idiots. Once it’s been said five times, you’re no longer breaking ground.
