We have very good success with the Mammotion Luba 2 robot. It is small, quiet, handles St. Augustine grass well, and can be scheduled to run as often as needed. Setup consists of showing it boundaries by driving it around with your phone as a controller. (like driving a radio control toy car) Lay out several zones, set some schedules, and let it do the work.
I am on my second EGO, works very well but made the mistake of not buying self propelled the first one. That said, I hate cutting my small lawn every week in the Summer. Have thought about a robot but the idea of burying a line turned me off. The Mammotion looks very intriguing. How frequently must you run it in the Summer with our fast growing grass?
