Mammotion Luba 2 Review - Fully Autonomous AWD Robot Lawn Mower

[@typherix]

So glad to hear your thoughts on this! I just put in my order for a Luba 2 3000H earlier today. I'm feeling much more confident in my decision to jump having heard your review. Thanks!

[@jamie.andrews]

Hope you enjoy it. That is the exact one in this review!

[@kensingtonwick]

It’s friggin’ awesome. Got mine May 11th. I’m able to get other important things done around the farm without worrying about the lawn. Such a great invention!

[@ronaldclobes9340]

Thank you for the work you do and glad to see that you are branching out into the yard robots as well. I have been considering one of these for several months. It is good to see one of these in operation from a channel that is not on the manufacturers website. I have several acres to mow so I would be focusing this one in the area where there are a lot of trees to circle around and leave the wide open areas for the Zero turn.

[@jamie.andrews]

Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!

[@ronaldclobes9340]

@@jamie.andrews I got most of mine answered by reading the owners manual which is available for download. I was mainly interested in an unbiased review as to whether these were ready for the real world or if I should let them be for a season to let the company debug them on other people's time. Looks to me like these are ready!

[@jamie.andrews]

@@ronaldclobes9340 I think so. I will use them to cut my grass from here out. Just be aware it is new technology and that requires a bit of patience, understanding, and technical knowledge and if you have all of those qualities I think you will love it. Crate a no-go zone around anthing in it's path like a tree, shed, bush etc. Also when mapping your zone drive it atleast a foot away from the edge. You already have to use a weedeater anyway plus what I do is perform manual mowing and use the mower to get close to my fence and house after the main job is finished. Then I weedeat.

[@BrianArnold-fh6ks]

Great mower. When Luba 2 price reaches €1390.00 I will buy one!

[@sargemonday4801]

Great review Jamie! But I suggest to keep your old mower for a backup. :^)

[@jamie.andrews]

Well I now have 3 robot mowers so I am not sure I will need my riding mower. I have not used it once this season.

[@evac311]

Great review! I was considering a mower upgrade but now this has me thinking I may give a robot mower a try. I think I'd keep my traditional walk behind mower as a backup or for bagging clippings. One feature I'd like to see with this is the ability to stripe the lawn.

[@jamie.andrews]

It can stripe the lawn. You can do all sorts of patterns with it. I'm quite impressed with the abilities and with the company with their communication and with their updates. It is a new company and they are already leading the small pack.

[@nogridbag]

Jamie this is a very timely review. I was curious what the state of robot mowers were and this popped in my feed! Looking forward to the 2WD model review as well. Dreametech just launched their first robot mower. Are you planning on reviewing that? Would love to see a comparison vid! Edit: I'm also curious how these handle stone walkways!

[@jamie.andrews]

Yes I have the Dreame mower and will review it this summer. You can create no go zones around the walkways if there is going to be interference.

[@daviddavis7042]

Great review, but I could not find the Amazon link to the protective mat, both links went to Luba pages

[@jamie.andrews]

Ahh I forgot to add that. amzn.to/4bq2aRV

[@Aurelian57]

Great review! Looking forward to the Yuka review (as I have Luba 1 and want to see if I should upgrade). For Luba 2, still trying to understand if the camera aide's movement and mapping. The reason I ask is that I have a decent number of trees that present a weak signal and constant dropping for Luba 1. How is the signal connectivity and does the camera aid in the robot's movement? Many times, with Luba 1 it loses signal and locks itself. It may sit there, drain its battery, and then I have to go recover it. Worried this still might be an issue. Thanks!

[@jamie.andrews]

I have one huge tree in my backyard and it does not hesitate under it. The cameras are used as a visual aid to help it navigate when GPS signal is lost. The Luba 2 and Yuka address the issue you are having. Yuka review will be out soon.

[@Aurelian57]

@@jamie.andrews thank you so much! I have been on the fence with going with Yuka or keep my backing of Airseekers Tron (all vision). I think you may have swayed me to Yuka! Thanks!

[@jamie.andrews]

@@Aurelian57 If you can hold out for my review and I will go over some pros and cons and depending on your yard type the Yuka could be better or worse.

[@Aurelian57]

@@jamie.andrewsI appreciate that! I think it may work and I like Mammation’s features, etc.

⚠ CAUTION ⚠ Purchased new LUBA 2 AWD 10000 for $4178 Worked for 6 weeks, then stopped Support ticket created on May 20th Issues remain unresolved by Mammotion (45 days so far) Mower not able to complete a task properly. Mammotion not responded to warranty request for replacement Buyers beware, I’m certainly not the only one with this experience

[@jamie.andrews]

Sorry that happened. I'm pretty active on the Facebook group and I can assure you that is not common at all. Can you explain a bit more about what it is doing? Send me an email with your contact info and I will contact Mammotion on your behalf.

[@joshoelze]

@@jamie.andrews It worked great for 6 weeks, then i started having all sort of battery/power issues: mower dying in the yard, suddenly discharging, drastically reduced mow times, overheating errors while charging, charging randomly stopping. Support ticket for 6 weeks has not resolved the issue. They will not acknowledge any physical issue with the battery/power system and will not respond to my request for replacement. Ticket #432372. I'm probably pretty biased as i'm looking for similar, but i've seen many similar complaints on FB, and certainly numerous concerning their atrocious support.

[@anthonyt9371]

Hi, do you still have issues ?

[@camsandwell]

How would the side hustle work with the charging and RTK set up?

[@jamie.andrews]

Side hustle?

[@camsandwell]

You mention as a pro at the end, "if you are into side hustles you could rent it out to neighbors to make a bit of extra dough". Just not sure how that would work with the RTK station and charging?

[@MrCRose03]

Product might be good but there idea of customer service is awful, they took payment and are now refusing to ship because they want more money first! An extra £350 after purchase! Just an insane situation.

[@1TLA7]

Will it go into a pond

[@1TLA7]

That’s what I’m scared of

[@jamie.andrews]

It should not. When mapping I would keep it about 5 feet away from the pond and you should be good.

[@robertbplayz7880]

Can it mow around the edges?

[@jamie.andrews]

Yes within reason. It won't replace a weedeater.

[@robertbplayz7880]

@@jamie.andrews yea but how close?

[@jamie.andrews]

@@robertbplayz7880 about a a foot is what I set it off.

[@angrydalek]

I can’t get my lawn mowed until my mower updates its firmware.

[@jamie.andrews]

Why?

[@horizonseekers24]

Bring the Luba close to WiFi even if it means inside the house. Once updated it will receive signal much better.

[@flink85]

Which products are your next 3-5 in your que? :)

[@jamie.andrews]

QRevo MaxV, Mammotion Yuka, Dreame X40, Narwal S10

[@flink85]

@@jamie.andrews i really hope they have gotten the hot water washing fixed. RR claim that the max v can manage 30 degree slopes as well. Would appreciate if that is something you could include. The q revo master will not be released in the nordic unfortunately,would probably wait for that otherwise. Any plans on the dreame h14? :)

[@bozdagengin]

⁠@@jamie.andrews waiting for your maxv review. Other reviews indicate that its object avoidance is not great despite the RGB camera, but i trust your reviews the most.
