I received my Luba 2 almost 2 months ago and noticed that you just barely touched on Two of the Biggest improvements in the Lubs 2 vs the Original Luba. The Original Luba came in 3 models, a 1000, 3000 & 5000 indicating the square meters of mowing area it could retain in memory. There are now 8 models of the Luba 2, a 1000 sq meter (1/4 acre), the 3000 (3/4 acre), the 5000 (1 1/4 acre mowing ability) and a new model 10,000 (2 1/2 acres of mowing memory). These 4 models have Cutting Height range of 25 to 70mm (1 inch to 2.75 inch), but Mammotion has added a "H" version to each of these that have a higher cutting range of 55 - 100mm (2 1/8 inches to 4 inches of cutting height). I have the model 3000H and could have done just fine w/ the standard lower cut model as I am always in the lowest 2 1/8th inch setting for my lawn w/ the "H" model. So this info was barely mentioned in this vid but the following improvements weren't mentioned at all. The RTK Reference Antenna Range to the Luba 2 has increased from 120 meters up to 3 miles meaning you can map & mow a lawn up to 3 miles away from the RTK Antenna location IF you add the optional SIM Card. I got my extra SIM Card from my carrier (T-Mobile) for free with an online request and had it in 2 days. Without the added SIM Card installed the RTK to Luba 2 "talkback" range is still improved from the original 120 meters (394 ft) up to 150 meters (492 ft). The added SIM Card also allows the Luba 2 to be out of WiFi Range for viewing thru the Camera Lens while in operation & improves the Theft Tracking abilities that still work even if the Orange "Security Key" is pulled. Luba 2 now works w/ Alexa & Google Home and can be Voice activated. And finally, there is soon to be released download that will allow the Luba 2 to mow Lettering and/or Symbols into your yard (I think it actually leaves those Letters/Symbols as uncut). So, you can either promote your fav Sports Team or show your Neighbor his IQ with your Lawn. 🙄 Oh Yea, the RTK has an optional Solar Charger so you can mount it anywhere and the Geofence & Anti-Theft Tracking features have been enhanced.

Several good points which I have seen in other videos. But his video touched on a lot of issues I have not seen.

[@1evil84]

I picked up a Luba 2 earlier this year for my 1.2+ acre yard, and I love it. It generally takes around 2.5 hours to cut with a riding mower. It's often hot, and there's usually spider webs, bees, and low hanging branches in my path. This thing just plows right through. I will say I've noticed a few glitches, and it did get stuck once. To summarize, I've cut my lawn 6 times this year and maybe put about 3 hours in for maintenance (blade cleaning mostly). Practically 5 cuts with zero of my time spent. Way better than I was expecting.

[@Samcrac]

How long does it take to cut your 1.2 Acres with the Luba 2?

[@1evil84]

With charging, It takes about 15 hours total. My yard is long and narrow, and my house is right in the middle. I'm able to split up the work into two half's so it doesn't run more than 8 hours in a day.

[@1evil84]

That's at 0.4 m/s speed and 25 cm path spacing. I could raise the speed and increase the spacing to hurry it up a bit.

[@Superliegebeest0]

Is it possible to add an extra luba? And more of those camsticks?

[@1evil84]

​@@Superliegebeest0 The app definitely has room to add additional units. I don't know how many exactly, but I'd bet it's enough for any residential set up. I assume by "camsticks" you mean the RTK reference station. They all come with one, and they come paired together (paired like a bluetooth device. Not physically). Just setup the RTK pole in an open area and it should work for that robot. I don't know if you can pair multiple units to the same RTK station. I hear Mammotion's customer service is pretty good at answering questions. I'd contact them if you're thinking about doing something like this.

I ran under my trees all the time with my Luba 1. And I still do.

[@johnconnor3426]

Thank you for uploading another video. I love your content!!!

[@ipodman1910]

So nice of you to show to the whole world where the Apple AirTag may be hidden. Bravo!

[@olli8977]

Hey wery Well made video. Interesting and lot of good info

[@innercityprepper]

I'm never gonna get one of these things, but they're still cool. Great vid!

[@j03_ordinalgrail]

glad you're back!

[@davidhorizon8401]

This was the best review of the Luba 2 I have seen. Especially in comparing it against the Luba 1. I am considering buying one but the price is prohibitive. I just hate mowing so much that if it works well enough, I may get one. You did a good job showing the issues. You also showed many things like the blades working and going up and down I have never seen. I will be checking out your other videos and my even subscribe. Thanks

[@bradlafferty]

You always put out interesting content, and this is no exception! Thanks.

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

Looks like an advert to me.

[@rogerwachal3718]

How much?

[@zawzawaung6789]

Excellent video!

[@Longstride]

Great review thanks! I found it really helpful!

[@thedoor5442]

Your turf needs some TLC to really show how this works.

[@GreenTechTown]

Haha, yes it does.

[@genuinemagic777]

Looks cool

[@timothyweakly2496]

Surprised irobot didn't get in this field alongside roomba.

[@ipodman1910]

Roomba sucks badly…

[@wademann8943]

Really can’t tell how it cut because the grass has no height to it and so much of the lawn is patchy

[@NightThings99]

Good video! I am not sold on those yet. I will stick to my riding mower to cut 3 acres for now.

[@dsbennett]

I pay a kid to mow my grass: $25 a week. He never gets lost or stuck and he's theft-proof. His batteries never need replacing. And he has a free string trimmer attachment that always works.

[@GreenTechTown]

Haha, nice! If it works for you, that's the best option in my opinion.

[@rhatid]

Interesting video 👍 Gosh I've been subscribing for over 14 years ...and I've still not built a solar pane and now that I live in an apartment it is still not on my agenda BUT I still like to watch the videos. 👏👏 Thanks.

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks for continuing to watch :D

[@jeanjacques9274]

Mowrator s1.... Thé best one.

[@Ginatking9th]

😂that's cute

[@TheChicagoTodd]

Does the RTK need line of sight to the mower? For example, if you put the RTK on your deck in your back yard, and your house obscures the RTK from the mower in the front yard, how does that work? Also, are the batteries replaceable?

[@GreenTechTown]

I had the same question initially when reviewing the Luba 1, but no, the RTK does not need line of sight when the mower is in my front yard for example. With the help of satellites it is able to achieve this somehow, but I'm no expert in the subject, just know that it works as long as the Luba and RTK has access to the open sky and not blocked by overhead trees or a building. I'm not sure about the battery, but that is a good question. I would recommend reaching out to Mammotion about that one.

[@TheChicagoTodd]

Great...thanks. There does not seem to be a good comparison between the Luba 2 and Yuka, and Mammotion is not doing (IMHO) a good job in selling the differences. I used the chat feature on their site and chatted with "someone" (Probably a bot) named Serena who totally missed the assignment in answering my question ;-). Luba 2 3000 is $2500 and can do .75 acres, as far as I can tell does not have replaceable batteries and can't "sweep" a lawn. Yuka 2000 is $2100 and can do .5 acres, has replaceable battery and includes an extra one, and includes a sweeper attachment. Guessing the Yuka is not AWD. Mammotion not seeming to do a good job drawing comparisons to help customers decide. My lawn does not have a lot of hilly areas, so not 100% sure I need the AWD. $400 cheaper for the Yuka and includes a sweeper and extra battery (means batteries are replaceable). I'm very skeptical of the sweeper function, but still cheaper than the Luba 2.

[@GreenTechTown]

Good points. Hopefully, they are monitoring the feedback on this video and will take note of those items you mentioned.

[@larrymorris6896]

I am wondering just what the tracking module is that I saw being dropped under the visual apparatus before it was screwed on. Does this enable the person with the phone ap to find his mower if it has been stolen and taken away? Where do I get this devise?

[@GreenTechTown]

It is an Apple Air Tag. It does not come with one, but it is recommended to add one or something similar just as a secondary way to track the mower if someone ever tried to steal it.

[@joshoelze]

⚠ CAUTION ⚠ Purchased new LUBA 2 AWD 10000 for $4178 Worked well for 6 weeks, then stopped Support ticket created on May 20th Issues remain unresolved by Mammotion (26 days so far) Mower now completely unable to mow at all Mammotion not responded to warranty request for replacement Buyers beware, I’m certainly not the only one with this experience

[@tulsatom4307]

I have a 6k[]’ backyard and am trying to estimate how long it will take to mow . . . * with the Luba1 - with different Cutting SPEEDS between the 3000 vs 5000 - I would have picked the 5000. * with the Luba2 - it seems that that 3000/5000/10000 all Cut (and charge) at the same Rate; and that the Cutting CAPACITY has to do with its Brain (Zone Mgt) [ ] How long do you think that it will take to Mow 6k[ ]’ ? [ ] Would it be One Charge ? [ ] Or require a Re-Charge + a Finishing Period of Time? ( I can’t find this information after hours of browsing. Thank you for your time and kind consideration )

[@GreenTechTown]

I'm not sure, and depending on what parameters (i.e. path spacing, mow speed, cut style) you set within the app dictates how fast/slow it cuts. If you haven't already, I would reach out to customer support to see if they can answer your questions.

[@CumminsTurbo4]

Does it require Internet for any steps in set up or use? I want to employ it at a location where there is no intent of getting Internet. Thanks !!

[@GreenTechTown]

No, you can use Bluetooth which is what I used in the video to initially set it up. I also know they have 4G support (which I was not able to test). What I'm not sure about and something you may want to reach out to Mammotion to confirm is how you could upgrade the firmware if needed without any internet access or if firmware upgrades are required

[@CumminsTurbo4]

Thank you! Appreciate the vid!!

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

Mecanum wheels on grass? That was NEVER going to work. I'd have serious doubts about any company implementing such a solution.

[@jorgejnr7902]

Still very good cutting grass robot.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Is there anyway to contact you directly?

[@GreenTechTown]

Yes, you can use my contact email found on my about page.

[@JohnJohn-wr1jo]

Too many components, bound to fail.

[@JohnJohn-wr1jo]

In the promo videos I'm only seeing lawns that have already been cut. Why don't they show "normal conditions" where the lawn actually needs cutting.

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

@@JohnJohn-wr1jo It can barley cut 10mm of clover with those little razor blades. How you think it's going to go cutting anything greater than that. ;)

[@dustind413]

​​i have Luba 2 and it cuts 6 or 7 inch grass well. it also mows the clovers. You must go slow though if the grass is long. like four hours. the second cut or maintenance cut I go much quicker (double the speed). if you want no missed grass you can do checkers. however, if you have a big yard checkers is going to take a long time (8 hours). I am happy with it. ​@@whatilearnttoday5295

[@bluewaterfr7259]

@@JohnJohn-wr1jo yes you're totally right, only a few videos show an actual typical garden. However, this is why robot manufacturers recommend you to mow your lawn by your own at first, and then you let your robot do it 2/3 times per week because it is how they are designed to perform the best

[@RM-nm3xn]

This robot is amazing. That said, it's effectively useless. The people who are willing to spend $2500 on a tiny, limited mower like this tend to own large yards that require at least a fully capable mower, likely even a ride mower. People above this level pay someone else to cut their grass. People below this level with small yards that this mower could handle can't afford $2500 for this. So what demographic is left? Wealthy people with small, flat yards... and KZbin reviewers :)

[@mesco8200]

Not true. We have ride on and large garden. We bought one to save us some time as that's our most limited commodity. I'll let you know how it goes, arriving next week

[@Thecaptainblackadder]

Absolutely not true. Even the wired husqvarna costs more than Luba and plenty of people (including me) have bought it. The problem with Luba is not its price point. Its software is too buggy.

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

@@mesco8200 So you're saying that the marketing has engaged you, but that you have no actual practical experience with such products.

[@pieebobeg]

In countrys as the USA where labor is "cheap" garden services/mowing services is widely used and I guess affordable, but looking in the EU the cost of a fairly expensive robot mower will still be cheaper then having a company mowing your lawn. (edging is still an issue that you don't get with the robot compared to a human, but again, might be a non issue for many users).

[@Thecaptainblackadder]

@@pieebobeg same in Australia. A blue collar’s wage isn’t vastly different from, say, a software engineer’s wage.
