Set up was easy. I have an uneven yard which is no trouble for this little mini robomower. It does a nice precision cut in neatly organized successive rows.
The software is pretty easy to navigate. Battery life is just right for my size of yard. Overall, I’m impressed with this little beast.
So I purchased the Luba mini AWD S about July of 2025 and had about half the summer to use it and experience it before leaving some feedback that might be useful to others considering a purchase. First impressions out of the box was that this was a very solid, capable, and high end autonomous mower. The weight of it was substantial when picking it up and with our sloped front yard I knew that would be useful, especially with the AWD. The six blades were very simple to attach and probably took me less than 5 minutes. You have to attach the camera on top as well and there was no issue there. I ended up opting to have the docking station inside the garage and the biggest issue was making sure the RTK GPS antenna was in an area close enough to the docking station that both had a strong internet and wifi signal. I ended up having to put a wifi extender inside the garage to boost the signal, which helped but still not perfect as I have days where I have to go outside with my cell phone to manually initiate the start of a mowing session. I think this is probably the biggest issue for most people, is making sure your internet and wifi signals are strong because the mower itself is wonderful and saved me countless hours over the hot summer. It actually did such a good job that it extended the time I needed to edge the yard to about once per month vs twice a month. It's not perfect but does a good enough job that I am more than satisfied with the purchase and my wife likes having a manicured yard. A few things that stand out and to take note of is: 1. It doesn't mow right up to the edge of a driveway or sidewalk and you'll still need to use the string trimmer to touch things up 2. The charge time on these mowers can be 1.5 hours for every 1.5 hours mowed so if you have a large yard maybe upgrade to a two blade larger mower 3. Run wifi and internet signal testers on your cell phone outside to get an idea as to signal strength before purchasing 4. App is pretty easy to use but I was very surprised that when you viewed the history log that it would tell you date and time of mowers last usage but NOT what zone was mowed. That to me is nuts as that may be the most important thing you want to know, is when a zone was last mowed. You will have multiple zones more than likely so you have to find another way to track that. I don't have mine on a weekly schedule as my mower crosses over the driveway and I want to make sure it doesn't get run over by one of our cars. 5. Each side of the mowing blades lasted about 70 hours for me but keep in mind that acorns, pine cones and twigs will dull the blade quickly. 6. Creating zones can be a tad tricky and wish there was a way to just map the entire area and create zones via the app from that. Would certainly simplify things in my opinion. Overall it's a great mower and will only get better as we move forward. I wish they had a referral program as I have helped sell 3 of these units to my neighbors just last summer alone!
Facile à installer j’ai hâte de l’essayer
I was able to try out the new LUBA Mini AWD before it started snowing! Simple setup with great instructions. I purchased this machine because I have a very steep lawn and I'm 70 years old! I am hoping that it will handle the grade and I'm fairly confident. The 8" cut seems really small but it did a really good job and didn't take long on the small flat lawn I tried it out on. The price and mower seem like a great buy. Can't wait to map everything and try it in the spring. It will be a lifesaver if it all works out.
This Luba Mini is a great mower and very accurate. After it mows the grass it goes around the perimeter 2 or 3 times to trim the area out. The grass looks great with very little trimming required after it has mowed the programmed area. Love it! Purchase it at the end of the mowing season so can’t wait to get it going again next year. Also, I appreciate the software updates, they definitely improve the mowers functions.
I am very happy with my Yuka 1000. I would give it 5 stars except the software still needs a little interface work. I am a software developer for the past 50 years and I know good interfaces. Hopefully, they will keep making it better. The hardware seems 5 star and their support has been stellar too. I highly recommend this product but you need to be patient with setup.
Pretty terrible I spent hours trying to dial in its just not a good mower an im stuck with a $1200 piece of plastic junk. So disappointed an these will answer back. DO NOT BUY
This Mammotion Luba 2 AWD 3000HX was a gift for a family member who is handicapped and could no longer mow their lawn. We had such high hopes that this would give them back their independence and a beautifully maintained yard.
After it sat for a few months until we could get it installed, our excitement was short-lived. The unit worked exactly one time. After that, it simply refused to function.
I now realize the core of the problem: Mammotion appears to be a dropship company. They take your order, but have no real infrastructure for support, repairs, or returns. My entire experience confirms this.
I diligently followed all the troubleshooting steps from the online tutorials. When that failed, I began my nightmare with Mammotion Customer Service. The process was an exercise in frustration:
I was told to video record myself performing the same troubleshooting steps and send it in. I did. No reply.
I called and was passed between three different agents. Each one asked me to perform the exact same troubleshooting steps I had already done and documented. The third agent finally grew tired of me and hung up the phone.
I called back and, miraculously, got a competent-sounding agent. He apologized and promised to email me a return label and shipping box immediately. He assured me they would fix or replace the unit.
That promise was made over a month ago. The label and box never arrived. Despite multiple attempts to contact them since, I have received nothing. This is classic dropshipper behavior—empty promises and no follow-through.
Because of this inexcusable delay, I am now past the window to dispute the charge with my credit card company. This $3,000+ robot mower is a complete and total paperweight.
I ultimately had to take the unit back and purchase a different brand, which works flawlessly. Now I am stuck trying to sell this defective unit, only to find that it's available brand new on Aliexpress for 50% of what we paid. It’s clear they are just reselling generic hardware with no real support.
You are not buying from an established company with a service network. You are buying from a middleman who disappears after the sale. Save yourself the immense headache and heartache. Do not buy from Mammotion.
I’m honestly really happy with the purchase. The setup was not too difficult, and after watching many many different comparison videos to other robot mowers, I’m happy the Luba mini 2 lives up to the hype. It performs really well on my 1/3 acre lot.
This is my fastest setup for a mower. It works exceptionally well. The battery life is short. I use Mini around the edges and slopes while Yuka takes the flat areas. That makes it fun to watch.
Works great 99% of the time. The cut is excellent, features and control of details is great. Easy to clean and replace/sharpen blades. Handles slopes with ease. Works day and night. Throughout the season it lost connection twice, had to return it to station to reconnect, and one time all app data just disappeared and no mower or RTK showed in the system. Most likely a fluke, hence the 99% of the time. Things came back to normal in about an hour. First season it mows the whole lawn, about quarter of an acre. Battery life is excellent. I wish in future versions edging is considered, and bigger mulching blades are possible to attach. This will be the first winter hibernation. Hope it wakes up next season ready to roll. (I use it every two to three days, the scale in the review does not have that option).
I hoped it would work well. Turns out it works AMAZINGLY well!!!
Setup and mapping was easy.
I have now gone thru four full lawn cuttings. Cutting in the cross cut pattern and it has performed flawlessly.
And ... my wife rolled her eyes when I ordered it, but she may be a bigger fan than I am. She loves that it is quiet. She also loves the near perfect cut with the cross pattern.
Oh ... And I caught four of my neighbors standing out on the street admiring it cut my yard.
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 !
Cannot keep the communication and or signal to the robot!
Height adjustment failed after 1 week. I cannot use this mower and it's brand new. Reached out to support and no response
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.
We have 13 acres of which about 4.5 is grass, and I used the [M] online tool to work out I could use 2 luba's to cover 95% of the grass (neat tool BTW). After the latest yard guy needs to find more work I think ... lets try automation. Even though its the end of growing season I'll buy one model now. I don;t need to, but I used the paypal pay in 6 months, just got the bill and it says the entire amount is due in 2 weeks so is that a bait and switch? I could have just paid on my credit card and got points. Not happy with that. Also, not told at ordering a signature would be required. Waiting for fed ex is stressful enough without being forced to stay home, however for once they were just 3 minutes outside their estimated delivery window. The luba 2 is nicely boxed and good instructions. Bit of a learning curve but generally okay. However the front bumper is an issue and I read online I'm not alone. This morning after mapping one area I set it loose, grass isn't that tall, and I have video of it doing this, either it's clever and is looking for long grass, or it's confused as it stayed in one corner, the furthest distance from the charging station, and did tight turns which was tearing up the grass. I checked the settings were for multi point turns. I stopped it and couldn;t get it to go back to the charging station on its own (home+start or using the app), I switched to manual mode and after a bump the front bumper fell off and ripped the plastic casing from around the contacts so now I'm stuck trying to get the contacts back in and see if I can ever get this bumper to stay in place. This is what you get when asking for a review before it's first use. I'm thinking will work one day, I just don;t need to swap time I could be mowing to time fixing bumpers. Yeah I'm at a 1 to 2 star level right now. Yeah even less when I go to paste this in, I get another pop up in my face. and who is judge.me that hosts these comments? No link to privacy terms...oh, whatever.
Initial setup was a bit time consuming, but the app is fairly intuitive and time from unboxing to mowing was surprisingly fast. Mower was delivered in the afternoon and we were mowing about an hour later, and on until 11 that night. Having a bit more trouble mapping the connections between areas, but will tackle that today. Cut quality is great and the lines in the lawn are excellent.
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.
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.
L'intallation et la configuration de ma MAMMOTION LUBA 2 AWD c'est faite en main de 30 minutes, 6 zones! Zones de passage, hauteur de coupe, type de tontes sont très intuituives. Jusqu'à présent, aucun reget!
