You have to make sure you know what you getting yourself into, so do a lot of research before purchasing. I did that, and based on my expectations I have been completely satisfied. This thing has a lot of quirks, but I knew all of that going in. But now I can clean my garage and remodel my kitchen while the robot mows the lawn, and I love that.
I love how you program your yard and it does everything on it’s own!
Love the robot lawnmower, just wish the app had a few more features for edging and progress. Get a job that I don't want to do done efficiently.
Overall, a really cool product. Our old push mower stopped working, and the grass got taller than we would like while we were figuring out the next step. It handled the tall grass much better than expected given the cutting mechanism. It is important to note that it does not mulch the clippings, but that shouldn't be an issue with shorter, more frequent cuts.
The mapping and accuracy leaves a little bit to be desired as it had some trouble with a straight boundary line on one side of our house. I would suggest using the manual mowing mode to cut the outside most boundary then setting your perimeter one width inside that, especially if your yard is right next to somebody else's. I would also suggest adjusting the settings to mow perimeter first. Set the path width to the minimum as well so there are no missed spots if there is a slight GPS inaccuracy. It is also important to note that this product does NOT replace trimming with a weedeater. The accuracy is not quite there to mow around every single fence post for example.
One of the most important factors for me was how the lawn looked after being cut, and this mower produced nice stripes. The customizable patterns are convenient to ensure your yard doesn't get worn out laying in the same direction.
The object detection was really nice for the most part. We have a couple trees in our yard that I purposely did not set as no mow zones just to see the capabilities of the object detection. It did really well around the trees, but one minor complaint would be the sensitivity change after detecting an object. As noted previously, our grass was taller than usual for the first mow, and when the trees were sensed as an object, the mower would become overly sensitive to objects and missed a couple patches of particularly tall grass as it also sensed those as objects. It had no problem in taller areas where other larger objects (like trees) were present, so I am not sure why it changed.
Overall, I am pretty happy with this product. I had high hopes, and it largely exceeded those, just a few minor tweaks to make it a perfect product. This will ultimately save a lot of time and produce a healthier yard, and if it lasts, will be well worth the investment.
I've only had the opportunity to use the mower a few weeks now. It works well, is quiet and I'm thrilled to have it.
Love it !
I'm very impressed with my Luba 2 AWD 10000. It will handle the bulk of my mowing, but others should be aware that unless your yard is fairly flat and mainly 90° rectangles, you'll have to still mow some border areas. For instance, I have a sloped area near a drop-off: My Luba was cutting too close to this drop-off, and the way the front wheels allow the Luba to roll sideways, my Luba just rolled off that drop-off. So I'm just going to re-route the Luba to stay a couple of feet away from that drop-off and push-mow that section.
This is my second robotic lawn mower. I had another brand that i bought about 7 years ago and had wired boundary. It was great for its time but the innovation in the Luba 2 is awesome. First thing i love the most is NO MORE WIRES. Using the app to setup your boundaries, schedules etc was easy to learn and use. The old robotic lawn mowers, cut the grass in a random pattern. With the luba 2 you can have the nice lines that many people desire. So much more efficient. The awd handles slopes with ease which is another feature I love.
After a ton of research, I landed on this one… The first couple months were great, but I have been getting a jammed disc error message for the past few weeks and cannot figure out how to solve it. I have replaced all the blades and even the two discs and hoping that Support gets back to me. washed it and scrubbed it and I'm just not sure what to do. Hoping that Support gets back to me.
Machine is well built cuts the grass as expected. Set up and troubleshooting is challenging since no instructions are supplied. I got most help from YouTube videos but still not complete like a good instruction manual.
Have not unboxed it yet as summer is over for now
Had a Husqy 315X Automower for 8 years. From the Philly area. I would say I really liked it. The wires just became too much. Couldn't aerate or verticut without significant problems and wire repairs. It also didn't do a thing for leaves but make a mess.
This Yuka1000 is amazing. Very impressed with quality of cut. App is a little tough to get used to, but now I'm rolling and couldn't be happier. RTK set up was easy. 10ft from my house and not really near any trees, but there is a couple within 10 feet of it. No problems yet.
Haven't gotten the bagger yet, coming in tomorrow. I'm confident it will do well. Thanks Mammotion! Got my time with my family back.
I bought the Luba a few years ago and enjoyed the automatic lawn care from this robot. Last summer it quit charging. I called the help line and they walked me through some diagnostics. It was still under warranty so I sent it back. They could not get the parts to fix the original mower. After a few weeks we recieved the Luba2 awd 10000. With the upgraded features it avoids obstacles and will stay on task under the tree canopies. Five hearts to the Luba2 awd 10000. The upgrade was worth the wait.
Waiting for spring and summer. With the drought, had no mowing. Already for the snow. I know I will enjoy as I hate mowing
My luna mini is a great addition to my garage. I have a yuka mini and my luba mini covers all the places I need 4 wheel drive! Excellent quality! Thank you mammotion for another quality mower. I just wish the 800 came with the 6.1ah battery like my yuka. I will be upgrading that just for the longer run time.
I was very excited about getting this mower, after using an older Landroid mower for a few years that required a guide wire and wildly zig zagged in every direction. It normally took about 3 days to fully mow the yard. The Luba doesn't need a wire and mows in a nice straight lines. I created a nice area for it with a paver base, setup the mower\antenna and created the first area map using auto-mapping. It worked pretty well, but had a few issues due to all the twist, turns and angles in our back yard. I then manually mapped the back yard and was ready for the first run. I started mowing about 3 feet from the mapped edge and started going back in forth at the end for some reason. At first, I thought great...it lost its mind. However, I just let it go and watched it for a while. Though it did go in nice straight lines, it seemed to miss pieces along the edge. Finally, looking at the path it is taking on the map, I noticed it was mowing the inner section and then it went back and finished the pieces around the edge. This is where a nice bolded statement would have come in handy, describing this process. All in all, it did a great job and completed in our big back yard in about 4 hours.
So far so good ! Great mower -
The mower has handled it's assigned tasks well. The only issues I have had are with thin areas in the lawn and the tires tearing them up. In the healthy turf areas the mower is doing great.
I wish I had bought it years ago. Great for mowing large property with pretty big hills.
When we first got the robot, it wasn’t working. Waited a week just for customer service to assist but we eventually worked it out. Good product. Terrible customer service.
It took me awhile to map and program but once I did it I understand it a little better. I'm able to sit back and watch (not listen) to it mow my yards. I'm very paticular about how my yard looks (St Augustine grass) and the Yuka mini 800 is all that I need. I did lose my original mapping and schedules when I moved my RTK unit but now I know that will happen again if I have to relocate it.
My yard shape is weird, not sure I picked an ideal location for charging. I have a partially fenced in area which abuts an unfenced area where I placed the charging unit. It tried to get back to the charger through the fence... The no go feature is not ideal as it expects to be mapped as an area, not a line. Since I need to open the gate to let that in, I may just do that small yard by hand.
Yuka 1000 does a great job at picking up grass clippings and leaves.
I also own a Luba 2 5000 (2024), and a Luba 2 X 3000 (2025).
All of My robots have worked flawlessly once I got the hang of using them.
Mammotion is really quick with customer service and the 1 repair I needed was back to me in about a week.
I recommend this company to everyone.
Overall, couldn’t be happier that I haven’t touched my gas lawn mower at all this year. But it’s not all perfect.
The boundary setup was pretty easy. I just wish I could use a map to adjust and make straight lines. Having to manually operate the mower to create the boundaries leaves some weird moves that need to be ironed out
It’s not the easiest to clean either. A lot of grass clippings get caked on the floating tray holding the cutting discs.
Finally, the connection isn’t great. I don’t expect to have WiFi or 4G in every inch of my yard but it’s quite often that I can remotely connect to the mower and need to get within Bluetooth range. First world problems, I know, but it’s not a great party trick when I’m trying to show off my ability to mow when I’m not home only to not be able to make the connection.
One more finally because I don’t want to go back and edit, it took some playing around to figure out the right connection to the RTK. There were several times that the mower would lose connection in the yard and I’d have to go rescue it.
So several minor nuances but overall very happy I purchased. I love sitting around watching Bruno work (yes, that his name and no, we don’t talk about him) while doing whatever else around the house that I want.
My yard is discontinuous. My front and side yards have always been easy to keep manicured wit my ride on mower, however in the back of the house, behind the pool is a gravel pathway then down a couple set of stone staircases we have our back yard. Even though the kids playground and a fire pit is located there it was hardly ever utilized as it was constantly overgrown since the only way to mow it was to bounce a push behind mower down the stair and pull it back up after I mowed it. So often it just went unmowed. After doing research and landing on the Luba 2 I requested it for Xmas of 2024. This year has seen our backyard utilized like never before. After getting creative in terms of how to power the base station for the rtk and for recharging as I had no power down there, the robot has worked without issue all summer and has kept my backyard manicured like never before. For those interested in my power management solution. I invested Anker solix power station that I protected using a deck box that I built, active cooling too, and is kept charged via solar panels.
I've only spent 4 hours working on setting this up, but so far, it is not an easy task. Finding and maintaining satellite access for the RTK has been very difficult. Based on some posts in the Facebook group for Mammotion, there are others that have found satellite coverage to be highly variable. Maybe it's a satellite issue? Once I get the RTK connected, having that connect and maintain the connection with the LUBA 2 AWD (H version) has been the straw that ended my first attempt. I mapped a small zone and then the app would not save the zone because the connection was too weak.
I haven't given up yet. The mower seems to be high quality. The app is fairly intuitive.
Onward.
