ᐅ Robotic Lawn Mower or Traditional Lawnmower? Experiences?

Hello everyone,
now that our house and outdoor areas are completed, we are considering whether a robotic lawn mower or a traditional lawn mower would be better for our relatively small lawn area (about 250 m2 (2,700 sq ft)). I understand there is no “right or wrong” choice, but rather personal preferences on this topic. However, I would be interested in your experiences as a small source of inspiration, especially if you have tried both options. Why do you use a robotic mower or a traditional mower, and what do you see as disadvantages or drawbacks of the other option based on your experience?
At the moment, we are leaning towards a traditional lawn mower because of the small lawn size, but we are still unsure whether to go for an electric mower with a power cable (we have two outdoor sockets available) or a battery-powered one.
I appreciate any experience you can share :-)

So, we have currently switched from mowing the lawn ourselves with a battery-powered mower to using a robotic lawn mower.
...with over 450 sqm (4,850 sq ft) to mow once a week and having to dispose of the grass clippings, it eventually became annoying, even though we love gardening for relaxation and such.
...we now use the free time for and with the kids… or for sports… so everyone benefits.

I’m trying to find a time slot to mow the lawn this week, but it probably won’t work since the grass will be too wet. Mowing itself is not a problem for us because we have only a small lawn—likely less than 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft)—but having a robot would definitely make planning easier. At the moment, there is still a large trampoline on the lawn. I’m not sure if that might affect the robot’s reliability. Once the trampoline loses its appeal, I plan to look into it.

The trampoline causes absolutely no issues.Do guide cables need to be installed around it? The "foundation" consists of pipes, some of which lie flat on or just above the ground. Or is the obstacle detection reliable enough?That is up to you. If you want the area underneath to be mowed without the robot bumping into the pipes, you need to lay the cable around the pipes.
If it doesn’t matter, then just leave it as is. The robot will simply bump into them.
If you want to completely exclude this area from mowing, you must lay the cable around it here.
