I definitely would not call it fun by any stretch, but mowing is tolerable to enjoyable for me. I’ve got an electric self propelled and a podcast, and I’m done in like 25-35 min. If anything it’s more annoying to break out the trimmer to get the edge stuff then lower can’t get, but I also only mow like once a month (to keep the city happy )so I don’t do it often enough to be annoyed by it.
