So far I love it. 4 for 4 on mowing 🤞
This thing is pretty darn good. Is it perfect? No. Is designing and building a device that navigates obstacles and mows my yard while I'm golfing a VERY difficult task? Heck YES! And this mower does exactly that. There is a bit of learning and tweaking at first, but I'm figuring it out and it gets better each time I adjust something.
After getting through the setup process things seem to be going good so far. Spring is just around the corner here so I can't put it to full use yet.
I did set up different areas to test functions and I am impressed with the mower's ability to move area to area and change up functions as needed. The more I learn the better I like the mower. The mower actually seems as though it was thinking out moves as it worked. So far so good.
I am a detail oriented person and have set my Luba 2 up and used it several times. It is fantastic. Everything works as it should and each part of the platform seems to mesh well together. The robot apparently stores much of the map info onboard because it works just fine when it is at the edges of our large lot. I hope that someday, it will be able to be housed in my garage. It has to be in the open now. It needs to see the sky. If I could park it in the garage, and if it would open and close my garage door as needed, that would be a fantastic addition.
Once we got the maps and paths laid out logically it has been doing a good job. The object avoidance does not work very well. With object avoidance set to standard, it drove itself into the back of our John Deere Gator and kept pushing until I stopped it. The bumper was under the vehicle, but the camera had full view of the back of the vehicle in the middle of the slow moving vehicle sign. The triangular reflective slow moving vehicle sign extended below the camera but not down to the bumper. Also, if you do not define obstacles like posts or trees as exclusion zones, it will get
logically stuck even though it is not physically stuck. To get it mowing again you need to end the task and then manually drive it before it will run again. Despite these problems, we have decided to keep it. It mows the grass well and it even cuts the grass when wet with dew. It leaves less clumps of cut grass on the lawn that our riding mower. The positioning is very precise and reliable. We have had no instances of it going outside the boundaries. We have 6500 meters2 of lown to cut in western Washington State and it is able to keep up with the mowing running 10 hours a day. I wish it would vary its route to and from the charging station even just by its own width each time. It follows the same route each time and is leaving wheel tracks on the routes it uses to reach the areas farthest from the charging station.
The RTK station and Robot have been functioning flawlessly thus far. The installation and configuration process were relatively straightforward. We are optimistic that future grass cutting will be equally smooth and devoid of any technical challenges.
After much research I was excited to receive and put the mower to the test for several weeks and I'm happy with my purchase. When setting up initially, I should have broken up my zones into smaller, more manageable areas.
As a retired man with mobility issues this mower has changed my life. The Luba operates as advertised and does not have any problems with the steep hill in my backyard.
I had been previously mowing with a Husqvarna 450 Automower for almost 7 years. Last year became quite frustrated with problems. I decided to give the Luba 2 5000 HX a try. It was very easy to assemble and setup. I am SUPER impressed with the mower so far. Only a few disconnects with the app but overall very impressed. Still trying to tweak the cutting patterns. There are a few small patches it misses for some reason. The firmware and the app have already both been updated several time and each time it gets better. I have been mowing with the new Luba 2 for about 2 1/2 weeks. Things are looking GREAT, much better with the Mammotion Luba 2 than with the old Husqvarna 450. My friend also just purchased a Luba Mini with a much smaller lawn than mine.
very happy with the mower. the software can be glitchy and there is several weeks of learning curve, but I'm very happy with the end product. Wish there were a way to manually control it while away from home and also to make tweaks to areas on the app rather than fully re-mapping
Great product
Yard has looked phenomenal since the mini luba has started mowing the yard. Everything has been simple from installation to setting your yard perimeter.
While expensive, set up was a breeze even for my first automated lawnmower and Choptimus Prime has been going hard keeping up with our 1.1 acres of lawn up here in the PNW. There has only been a couple of minor hickups but they can be attributed to the maps I built that were easily fixed. Cant wait to see what future software updates bring!
Set up was very easy. Just drive it around the perimeter of the area to be mowed and done.
From opening up the package to starting the first mow was about 30 minutes including mapping out the lawn.
It's worked great so far, avoided my kids toys, and done it's magic at night so it's out of the way during the day.
Great product once set up. Wish the battery lasted longer but overall use daily!
We live on a hill, every part of our lawn is sloped, some so steeply that I let it be wild. Much of it is bumpy, patchy, and rough. Set up was easy. The first test came in outlining the boundaries of my 5 areas. "Mowna" charged up the steepest hill with no problems, over sticks and leaves. Truley TRUELY impressive. The back task area is so sketch I stood and watched her back and forth, navigating the ups and downs, sure she would get stuck at least once. Nope. Never. Literally the best thing I've bought for the yard, worth every penny.
Very pleased with the unit so far. Have had a few issues with mapping and returning it to the charging station, but nothing major. Glad I purchased this product.
I have been pleasantly surprised at how well this works. I have a large hill with a 36° grade and the Luba 2 handles it no problem
The product arrived in a well packaged box and the instructions were easy to follow. The set-up was straightforward and required only basic tools. Mapping the lawn was a breeze using a combination of manual mapping and AI mapping and the Luba Mini hasn't had a hiccup since. I have had the product for a week and has mapped and mowed 12,000 square ft of my hilly yard with no issues. I would buy this product again any time.
Easy to setup and to use. I'm still trying to learn how to use it efficiently. The thing I didn't like at all is that I bought it and 2 days later the cost in Amazon was 800 usd less. That should never happen.
Just purchased a Luba 2X AWD H. Setup was pretty straight forward and did not have many problems. The mower functions well. I have had problems with the mower backing into things and won't correct itself after doing so. It needs rear sensors.
The hardest part for me has been modifying the already created areas and no go zones. This could be much easier to do "offline". Modifying the areas by having to use the mower has been frustrating. Please just modify the software app to be able to click and drag to tweak the areas and no go zones.
It is amazing what this machine can do and I’m super impressed.
Very nice machine, will not disturb the neighbors
Great customer service
The Luba AWD Mini 800H is amazing. It is clearly well thought-out and implemented. It handles my steeply banked back yard with ease. The Luba makes mowing fun and I highly recommend the Luba robot mower.
