Just started exploring robot lawn mowers as an option... Thanks for the review. Also, Blue Devils and Cadets tshirts. DCI fans see that.

This is a fun technology :) note: Now, If I can install a small seat with a seat belt and a fake steering wheel...... and teach "Ramblin Bobcat" to sit on top of this little fella in that seat and stay still while the robot cuts the lawn. P.S. The neighbors would really be impressed !!!!! P.P.S. LOL

Had my Luba 1, Shaun, for a year. Excellent bit of kit. I’ve a Roborock home vac n mop (Maurice). Both excellent time savers

every time i see people on youtube with the luba 2 garage, i automatically know it's sponsored by mammotion. how do i know? the garage is still on preorder and won't let regular customers buy it yet. not that it's bad or anything, i got the luba 2 and it's been wonderfully life-changing. i'm just bitter that i can't buy the garage kit.

Not a gimmick for sure. I have mine managing close to 8000m2 during winter here in New Zealand where my Kubota ride on can no longer be used due to the ground getting too soft. We have kikuyu grass and in the past I have had to leave it to grow out of control until the ground dries in summer, but by then, the kikuyu has grown to 8” which then becomes a major task to get back down to 1”. It normally takes me the whole of summer to do this due to excessive clippings. My Luba 1 is now keeping the entire property down to around 1.5” even when the ground has standing water!!. I do adjust the zone boundaries to avoid really wet and permanently muddy areas. Highly recommend this machine for large Kikuyu lawns.

That's awesome I'm thinking of getting one from Robomate. Any issues at all? My only worries are getting parts and service as they're not in the south island yet.

This is an impressive time saving device, and in my previous property with 2 acres around the house, I felt chained to the place in cutting season. Also when the grass gets long and you are away it is a calling card for burglary.

My Shark reminds me of a child when it gets stuck. You get it unstuck and then it tries to get back to where it was stuck again and again.

Thanks for making this great video, looking forward to an update after a season of use. I’ve been waiting to purchase until a solar option for the RTK, and after seeing the one you have I’m ready to order. But, when I go to the website I don’t see it as an option to purchase. Where did you go to obtain this solar option? Thanks!

Dont marry the luba yet. Next year, the Yarbo should be out and ready to be used. You will probbaly find more value there

I've actually got my eye on that right now. Looks like it has the potential to be a better solution for larger properties over 2 acres. But in the meantime, the Luba 2 is serving me quite well in the front yard. :)

How do you think it would work with properties that have slopes in the front yard?
@ReeWrayOutdoors3 ай бұрын
I would expect this to easily handle even pretty substantial slopes
@DannyOLearyMusic2 ай бұрын
It’s all wheel drive so it handles like a 70 or 80% slope. You’ll find other vids on here showing that. Probably the best mower for slopes as most are only 2 drive wheels and a castor front wheel

I have a Luba 1 which is excellent. The Luba 2 is also available as a 10000m2 version. Physically, it seems the same as the 5000. Is the difference just the battery? I need 4 of them.
@DannyOLearyMusic2 ай бұрын
Not sure on if the battery is the same, but I know for some robot mowers (I think I’m referring to Luba models…I forget as I’ve watched so many videos!) the batteries are the same and it’s just that the models are software limited to the 5000m2 or whatever cutting size mower you purchased so potentially a software limit rather than battery!

While it is true that Mammotion sent me the Luba 2 mower to review (which is why I check the box to indicate that I "received anything of value" when uploading the video), I was not paid to do this review and my comments 100% accurately reflect my actual experience with this product. If I feel that I cannot honestly represent my experiences with a product that I review, I scrap the project and refuse to post. Full stop. I've done this many times...which is why there are regularly large gaps in my posting schedule. I realize that trust is my 'brand', and so I take great care to ensure I never violate that trust. But obviously you're free to draw your own conclusions.

is the larger area mower just a software limitation? if so, really dirty. if its the exact same mower and they are just limiting you with the software...
@charleswheatcroft3 ай бұрын
The smallest version has a smaller battery. There is speculation that there is more memory on the middle and largest versions but it is more likely to be a software limitation as you suspect. I'm not sure how I feel about software limitation. If it were an app, you can have free/basic/premium versions at different price points with a code to unlock more features so it's not dissimilar. Also, the warranty claims would probably be higher for the versions that are subject to a higher workload so there is some logic. It's a fairly new company and the customer service reports have been pretty patchy - by all accounts they are slow to respond due to rapid growth. Hopefully this will change.
@conradcoolerfiend3 ай бұрын
@@charleswheatcroftthe big difference to me is that with an app for example, software is the whole product. With this thing, the majority of what your buying is the hardware. I wouldn’t cry about it if the bigger one was a nominal up charge, maybe $200, and you can upgrade after purchase. But they want thousands. you know this pricing is BS! I wouldnt buy from this company based on that alone. Ill wait for the tech and competition and pricing to get better, maybe software cracking etc.
@charleswheatcroft3 ай бұрын
@@conradcoolerfiend The upgrade path makes sense. The company does listen to it's customers but the software is 2 steps forward one step back at the moment. The progress is positive though.
