Back in 1998, I bought one of those. I really liked using it. I had a small yard and it worked great for that. I did have to more it a
little more often, I think... if you let the grass get too high, there
was a crossbar that held the whole thing together that would
effectively "push" the taller bits out of the way.

The taller bits tended to be weeds with thicker stems that didn't mow
well. For those I had a hand operated weed whacker that I swung like
a Nine-iron ---

It was quiet and got the job done. Where I am now, the yard is too
big, and the "grass" too thick, to get much use out of it.

I'm strongly considering putting in zoysia grass to replace the stuff
the highway department re-seded with after widening my street ans digging
up part of my yard. Their mix of "grass" contains a lot of timothy and
other fast growing B.S. and it's taaking over the rest of the yeard.

Zoysia grass spreads by stolons which grow slowly but form very dense
turf once established. This thick growth gives weeds no chance to grow
and helps immensely with water retention. The deep roots grow
aggressively and can draw water directly from the table.

Getting it established can take some effort. And it "browns" quickly in fall/winter while tolerating the colder temps.

Once zoysia grass has achieved its dense growth, maintenance is reduced
to almost nothing.

Yes, they were certainly weeds. Most of them were the ones that look like miniture cat-tails that we would pick as kids, twist the stem around
itself, and then pull it tight to "fire" the seed head off of the stem.
Unlike a real cat-tail, the seed head was not soft.
