Grace Mahas — July 25, 2022 — Business
Skyrocketing gas prices and inflation have contributed to a substantially higher cost of living and dramatically increased the cost of summer vacations -- cue mowbnb, a new platform launched by Toro designed to help wish travelers stay in stunning properties for free in exchange for yard work.
The limited-time property booking platform features prestigious houses in popular summer vacation destinations like the Hamptons, Austin, Miami, San Francisco, and Charlotte. The available properties feature a range of state-of-the-art amenities, from pools and Jacuzzis to guest houses, outdoor kitchens, and beautiful lawns. Guests will be expected to time, edge, and mow in exchange for their stay and have access to Toro’s latest lineup of energy-efficient, battery-powered 60V Flex-Force Power System cordless yard care tools. The lineup includes a hedge trimmer, string trimmer, edger, and leaf blower, all with one interchangeable battery.
“At Toro we continually innovate to create lawn care tools that increase productivity and give consumers time back in their weekends. We’re excited to show our mowbnb guests how easy and seamless our tools are so that they can spend their mowbnb vacation on what’s most important: making unforgettable memories with their loved ones,” said Greg Janey, Vice President, Residential & Landscape Contractor Business and Center for Technology, Research and Innovation at The Toro Company.
The mowbnb extended weekend stays will take place between August 4 and September 6, 2022, and bookings will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis starting Wednesday, July 27 at 1 p.m. ET.
