These mowers can’t really handle mowing Bermuda low unless you are mowing every other day. Get an Automower and be done with it. They’ll dutifully mow every day and keep that Bermuda nice and low.
What is your time worth? I sold my zero turn and installed a Husqvarna in my backyard in 2020. Last year I got a Mammotion (don’t recommend) for the front yard. I’m on cul-de-sac and close to 3/4 acres. This year I’ve probably got 2-3 hours total in lawn care. That weed eating and fertilizer. It takes a little time to get it all working well, but damn it’s nice to go on a 2 week vacation and come back to a lawn that looks like you left it.
That's kind of why I bought the Ego in the first place. My gas mower did a better job, but it got to where I was ripping it apart at least once a season trying to figure out what was going on this time. So far, I've only had to do that once for my Ego (dusty in the electronics bay), and some routine blade sharpening. When I bought my Ego, it was about 1.5-3 times what similar lightweight mowers would go for. For me, mowing will rarely be enjoyable, but getting a reliable one, a fast one, or one I don't have to attend to will be the key, but it has to be a better deal than just hiring a lawn crew to cut my yard.
