You can use electric mowers. They solve the belching fumes problem and nothing else.
They're often pretty quiet too.
Get an automatic/self-driving one, and you can just watch your vegetation be mutilated instead of doing it yourself.
Husqvarna 115H! It's down to like $600 now. This is going on its 3rd year doing my backyard, and its fking amazing. Once a month I trim the perimeter, but otherwise I dont have to mow most of my yard now, its always the same perfect height, the grass seems much happier with it too.
My elderly neighbor got one and it's quite fun to watch it tootle around his yard.
