Do you mean one of these?

yes

I used one of those when I was younger, but my wife bought a power mower and it's enough of an upgrade that I'm not tempted to go back.
The robots aren't quite for me, but mostly because they seem too expensive and I'm skeptical of the software you have to install.

The physics for the reel mower are different than the rotary.
You will find you arent as tired mowing the lawn using a rotary.

I'll keep it in mind. I'm trying to phase out as much lawn as I can, anyway, so ideally I won't need any mower, someday.

Having a lawn is nice, but having the right equipment makes it 100% easier.
A sharp reel mower is so easy to use, and no gas.
Its so nice to be able to cut in the evening without making a huge noise.

We have an electric mower, because we don't like dealing with gas and don't like the loud noise.
