They're often pretty quiet too.
Get an automatic/self-driving one, and you can just watch your vegetation be mutilated instead of doing it yourself.
Yep, electric "Roomba" style lawnmowers exist.
Lol that sounds like a device that would mutilate the plants growing beside the grass too… like my precious strawberries
I'm pretty sure you need to set up an electric grid on the property for it to follow.
Like the pet "invisible fence".
That, or GPS, but they're more expensive

Yeah mine runs over stuff a bit much for that...
Yeah, and they're super common too.
Husqvarna 115H! It's down to like $600 now. This is going on its 3rd year doing my backyard, and its fking amazing. Once a month I trim the perimeter, but otherwise I dont have to mow most of my yard now, its always the same perfect height, the grass seems much happier with it too.
My elderly neighbor got one and it's quite fun to watch it tootle around his yard.
One of my neighbors has an electric one and it's shocking comparing how quiet it is to the gasoline one that came with my house
A small robot apocalypse!
