You cannot just trim grass all day unless you want a terrible lawn. You need to cut at the right hours.
I’m not sure what your criteria is, but mine is to keep the grass alive and provide root structure for my soil.

Also to protect all those, animals and humans alike, who would like to enjoy a silent night.
I'm assuming (perhaps unreasonably?) that given the suggestion you could run it at night, that it's silent, or near silent? If that's not the case, GP must be a madman.
So they surely ain't as loud as a combustion lawn mower and are pretty silent in comparison, so maybe you won't notice them in the city with its background noise. But in rural areas I perceive them as noisy even on daylight with normal noise level. And I never saw anyone using them at night - for a reason.
And as for gp .. he is already shadowbanned and you likely cannot see his answer (I have showdead=true). He reacted poorly I think.

Anything having lots of rpm ain't silent. Especially not at night.

I could hear a neighbours smoke alarm beeping periodically due to low battery the other night and went around to replace the battery for them the next day.
Also, I wasn't aware of the showdead setting (and had no idea about the answer that had been hidden), thanks for the tip.

#76So is this like Valetudo[0] but for mowers? Very cool! I wonder how much overlap / shared code there is between robot vacuums and robot mowers. [0]: https://valetudo.cloud/

Must depend on the model. I can't hear mine from more than 10 meters away.
I doubt that. At daylight with normal background noise level, possible.
