It depends. My backyard lawn is about 2 acres in size. It takes me 1.5 hours to manually mow it with a small 21 inch powered push mower. I just let the auto mower do its thing continuously and it charges itself. Costs almost nothing since I sharpen the blades about once a month myself. It’s also nice because the grass is always trimmed. You don’t have to go through the let it get tall and the landscaper mows it down every two weeks cycle.

What kind of auto mower?
Husqvarna
Oh yeah, I my lawn isn't that large. But I try to have less lawn and more plants and interesting flora. I also feel that is better for the environment somehow, although <citation needed>.
