can't believe ya'll are suggesting all these overcomplicated solutions when a scythe could take care of this in minutes

be sure to look for the "austrian" style of scythe, that's the best kind

So as not to hijack the battery mower tread:
I'm growing a lawn in my micro garden (~100m2, of which about 60m2 will be lawn). Obviously it will need to be mown.
I have used scythes to keep wild grass at bay, but never maintained a lawn using one (not aiming for a golf green tier lawn, just up to 10cm is fine, any flower that isn't a dandelion is welcome)
I know scythes can be used for actual lawns and it would be more "fun" to deal with (I'm a knife-snob and maker) however for the size I'm afraid it'd become annoying as it's pretty small and there will be some obstacles as well.

Alternative is the push mower, hated them as a kid, though we had a beaten up one and I know maintenance of sharp tools is something my parents didn't (and still don't) understand at all.
Definite downsides would be that while the lawn is not fully developed yet, the wheels will dig in. Also I'd throw it ver the fence if it can't deal with some blackberry branches here and there.
