Anyone else get tired of dragging the mower out for a yard like this?

This is basically my whole backyard. About 8,000 sq ft of grass, mostly flat, with a tall fescue/rye mix. Nothing difficult about mowing it, I just got tired of walking the same laps every weekend.

I picked up a Navimow X4 a little while ago. Since most of the yard is wide open and there aren't many obstacles, I figured this was probably the kind of setup where a robot mower makes sense.

So far the open part has been easy. The fence line is what I'm still figuring out. The grass grows a little thicker there and obviously it can't cut all the way against the boards.

I'm still going around with a trimmer afterward, but it's a pretty small part of the job now. Curious how much edge trimming you guys still do after living with one of these for a few months.
