Do you have any power tools, and if so which brand?
Makita do a lawn mower. I saw a few 2nd hand vgc ones without batteries come up when I was looking for ours.
I'm sure Ryobi are decent and all, but if you don't have any power tools I'd be more pursaded to go with Makita given how widely they are used. Plus bare tools often seem to be on sale at more competitive prices than say DeWalt or Milwaukee.

Nah, a manual mower is definitely not the thing for me, in that case.
I took a bit deeper dive into the Einhell Freelexo 400 BT robot this morning, and it sounds like it isn't waterproof, is a pain to set up, and isn't particularly smart, so I don't think that's the right thing for me either. I've got a robot vacuum cleaner and it's great, but I also wouldn't feel able to get rid of my standard vacuum for bits the robot can't do, so I worry that a robot lawnmower would be similar.
After all this, I think I may well just end up going for a refurb Titan corded electric model from Screwfix for £80, wait a few years until it breaks, and then hope that robot lawnmowers have advanced enough in that time that I feel like buying one.
