[@AdamsReviews]

Please help me get this video out there by pressing that thumbs up button. It helps a ton and I would really appreciate it. Also leave a comment. Thanks

[@parYTG]

Can I make like a react of your channel?

[@AdamsReviews]

@@parYTG What does that mean?

[@parYTG]

Like I watch your videos and I post my video of me watching your videos and I can give you some stuff that I think you can do different.

what do you think ​@@AdamsReviews

Thanks for the review! I’m on the hunt for a new robot mower.

[@rufus4779]

I believe there is a way to set the Luba to return via the boundary. Nice video. Congrats on your Luba and first cut. I've had mine for 2 weeks. I am pleased so far.

[@albundy3927]

Please Show is more about the corners and the Front wheels

[@AdamsReviews]

Will have one up soon

[@transammatt]

Pretty impressive if you ask me. iRobot had a robot lawnmower that they scrapped. What is iRobot doing new today???

[@taylorsnyder3329]

Good video.just got mine in. How'd you secure the rtk and rtk pole to the deck? We're those zip ties? I'm still worried about wind moving it since the pole is cylindrical

[@AdamsReviews]

check out my other video...its a accessory that is great for that

[@steffen707-]

Can you discuss the front wheels. This is the first video on YT that has those omnidirectional wheels!🔥😎🔥

[@steffen707-]

Ooh, I saw your two "short" videos on it climbing a kinda steep Rocky hill and the tank turn. Luba looking great! 🔥😎🔥

[@shoestringlean7163]

This is the 3000. it’s the basic model with 2 wheel drive. The other versions (5000) are 4 wheel drive and have all 4 rubber drive wheels.

[@steffen707-]

@@shoestringlean7163 wrong, all models are AWD including the 1000

[@charlessaftner4208]

Its path home is already an option in the app. You can set it to follow the boundary.

[@piyushdhankarDhankar-yw7tr]

Nice review! Are there any budget-friendly options you know of?

[@karllazlo6237]

Nice review. This thing cuts grass too short. They need to release a version that lets you mow northern lawns at 4 inches. Turf type tall fescue shouldn't be mowed at 2.5".

[@mikefreelove]

Do you know if it’s possible to alter the pattern each cut. Like today cut long ways and the now go from side to side? Would love to see examples of that if possible. The lines seem to show up on your lawn better than others.

[@AdamsReviews]

I believe so...I think I can make it crisscross as well which I will try next time.

[@modularinspiration]

Yes you can set any angle from -90 to +90 degrees per planned cut

[@Zappapa007]

You can change the return path in the app settings.

[@KarlWang-q3e]

Yes, Luba could return following the boundary instead of from the center

[@AdamsReviews]

Yes i will do that next time and show it in a time lapse. Thanks

[@modularinspiration]

I leave return to base on direct route just in case the battery is to low for it to find the boundary and return the longer route

[@KutubUddin-un3cb]

Great video! Just saw a $599 wireless robot mower on Kickstarter. If it’s real, that’s amazing! Could you do a review on it?

[@parYTG]

Love the intro

[@rodbtelenetbe]

Would a 5000 model be better go your lawn, or is their no need to? So thanks.

[@davelandry646]

Would really like to see the bottom of the Luba - have they eliminated the two guards that are on the 5000?

[@davelandry646]

Nvr mind - was on the bottom on your unboxing video (they are still there). Not a big deal for me - was just curious (they are easy to remove if your grass gets stuck in them).

[@ampac]

@@davelandry646 These guards must be part of the device due to safety guidelines. In the 5000 they were actually riveted to the chassis (at least the European versions). Not sure if the 1000 and 3000 use rivets or screws. Also note that the guardrails have the additional function of keeping the mowing deck/disks level with the ground. If you remove them, you actually risk damaging the disks or blades when mowing uneven terrain.

[@davelandry646]

@@ampac I've seen where some will cut them in half, reducing their capacity to 'catch' clippings.

[@sargemonday4801]

Adam, are the front wheels plastic or rubber? I believe you have the first review of the 3000 on YT! I was waiting for one. Was surprised it took you so long before you finally set it up from the unboxing. Was the first one defective?

[@AdamsReviews]

No they are hard plastic. No, I was really busy and I setup the rtk antenna wrong but as you can see I figured it out....anything else you would like to see?

[@sargemonday4801]

@@AdamsReviews No, you have done a great job. Thanks Adam!

I ordered my Luba AWD 1000 in May, but after three months, I have not received it yet. When I email support, I only get vague information, asking me to be patient. I've paid $2,000 and haven't received anything, especially no clear information. The latest update was the end of August, but when I ordered, it was mid to end of June. I strongly recommend not buying without a delivery guarantee.

[@hansielategan969]

The robot lawnmowers got me interested in robot vacs! The fact that the boundary wire is gone, has started to really make these an option. I hope Ecoflow sends you one, as I would love to see a comparison between the Luba and the Ecoflow blade and then wait until one becomes available in South Africa! I have not seen much about Ecovacs robot lawnmower, which is also supposed to launch now sometime.

[@AdamsReviews]

I hope so too. I messaged and emailed them and so far they have completely ignored me.

[@SP0FAW]

How does it do on hills?

[@jeromedavis7798]

Ordered one 2 weeks ago. They don't update you on the status of your order and they haven't answered my emails about the status. They didn't provided an EDD. How long does it take for delivery?

[@stimpen12]

They should have put a laser navigator on it as on robot vacuums. Then it could use a couple of temporary reference points to navigate with when losing satellite signal. But guess it would be too expensive

[@AdamsReviews]

Yea that would be nice but not sure it would work without like a solid fence for the laser to see.

[@stimpen12]

@@AdamsReviews I meant just for the occasions it loses satellite signal. Like under a dense tree or something it could use the tree trunk and something else in the vicinity to navigate until it get signal again. But I guess it would be to expensive to add this function and guess it wouldn't help to sort out all situations either.

[@johnohalloran915]

How much does it cost to run this thing??electricity wise???how often do u need to change the blades????and how long should an owner have this?2 years?5years?10?

[@timfish4175]

can you kinda manually use it to mow? I mean use your mobile to control it whilst it mows? It would be a solution for bits under trees verandas etc.

[@nick.100]

I don’t think trees and natural things would cause it to have that issue.

[@TaelaaGaming]

I've seen videos of the 5000 that follow the perimeter to return to base, so not sure if there's a setting in the app or if they haven't updated the 3000 version yet?

[@AdamsReviews]

That was its first run. Maybe after the first? Or maybe cause I did a custom run.

[@jasonrusso7]

​@@AdamsReviewsit's under the Luba settings, not the cutting settings.

[@TaelaaGaming]

@@AdamsReviews maybe! Now I'm curious. haha

[@retiredliving4898]

@@jasonrusso7 Thanks for that information. I missed that one.

[@killer-gaming]

For your front yard did you have to move the charging station?

[@mikeakers2043]

In my yard i did not have to move anything. I have it set up in the back yard and it cuts great in the front. The rfk station does not have to have line of sight to work. It just has to have a full view of the sky.

[@Jezijo]

I've been looking at the ecoflow blade. Think you'll be doing a review on that one bud?

[@killer-gaming]

Heard that one will get stuck

[@reggie2803]

I’m interested in getting one since I hate cutting my grass. Back yard is too small to pay someone to do it. Front yard is cut by my HOA.

[@AdamsReviews]

So far I would recommend....more videos coming.

[@WBconformalcoating]

Did it work on the front yard with the antenna in the backyard?

[@KarlWang-q3e]

Yes, the RTK station could cover a zone of radius of 120 meters. Install it in a open sky point to get a wide satellites view.

[@jeromewaites5364]

They already have that out

[@michaeljohnson8773]

So it has a recharge and resume ability?

[@AdamsReviews]

Yes, it did that in this video.

[@patrickmeyer6005]

How long did you have to wait to get the Luba 3000? I ordered the Luba 1000 a month ago and haven’t heard from Mammotion at all. Payment status says „unfulfilled“ although the payment went through. Anyone in the same situation?

[@AdamsReviews]

I got mine pretty quick...you can order this one from amazon now. I will be adding a new link in a minute.

[@kinggamerlive55]

I appreciate the review, but I’m still a bit skeptical about the price.

[@frankward8003]

So will the robot cut the whole back yard on a single charge

[@AdamsReviews]

No, it had to go back and recharge.

[@dondascher1527]

I am looking for the evidence that the omni-directional front wheels are TURNING so as to not tear up the grass/ground during turns. I do not see anything different than what the front wheels on the 5000 do. They do not turn so same thing. Therefore I see no advantage with the omni-directional wheels.

[@KarlWang-q3e]

No, the front wheels is turning actively powered by its own motors. I think you are saying that the small rollers installed on the front wheels seems not to turn. It will turn freely by the passive friction to avoid tearing the grass by the friction when Luba rotates. So only the rollers near the ground will rotate while the upper ones of the omni-directional front wheels keep still.

[@dondascher1527]

@@KarlWang-q3e I am sorry .... I said TURNING ..... I should have said ROTATE LEFT OR RIGHT in the same way as automobile wheels. They are pointing forward all of the time just as the 5000 model.

[@AdamsReviews]

Yes the rollers on the dront wheels turn by the weight of the machine and the rear wheels making them turn left or right....they are just loose wheels on the main wheel.

[@KarlWang-q3e]

@@dondascher1527 Yes, they are pointing forward. But rotation of the wheels and the rollers are orthogonal. The actual moving direction is combined by this two orthogonal moving direction.According to the rules of vector superposition, they are no sliding friction issue to tear the grass.

[@dondascher1527]

@@KarlWang-q3e Well, I am sold. Ready to purchase the 5000 I need for slopes and over and acre of grass to mow. Now, I just have to wait for the omni-directional wheels to be available on the 5000. AND ..... wait for some of the chaos to die down with each software update. LOL ...
