I think the question is more about the size of your lawn although with batteries these days, it's not as much of an issue. Both of my villas have really small mow areas so I bought one of those 13" 40v Ryobi mowers. The mower weighs 30lb and I can throw it in our CRV to take the mower to the other CYV. I have a ton of Ryobi tools anyway so I'm swimming in batteries.

It mows just fine and hangs on a hook when I'm not using it. If I was on a fully grassed corner lot, I'd have a gas mower for sure.

It reminds me of one of those plastic toy mowers we got as kids 50+ years ago. The little plastic one with the dice popper thing at the top.
