You've done a stellar job documenting your experiences w/ Luba. Hopefully they'll reach out to you directly and work with you on replacement parts, etc. Don't forget to get yourself a stiff bristle brush to clean the deck, then blow it out with an air compressor gun. That'll do you really well! Keep at it buddy!

Hello. I am writing from Germany. Try spraying the entire underside with dry PTFE (Teflon) after the next cleaning. Then the Luba stays clean longer and the dirt comes off more easily.

I’m glad the Luba is improving. 😊 now it just needs to improve in the durability department

Hey, don't make it so difficult for yourself. I simply remove the blade discs and underneath there are three more screws that you can use to remove the whole unit. Then you can clean everything, preferably with a plastic scraper. Just watch out for the rubber seal on the motor. Hope this helps you next time.

Maybe cover it in cling wrap on the top. Peel off when dirty and reapply.

CP, thanks for the videos so far, valuable information for Luba owners. The side protectors are riveted to their brackets, at least on one side. You can take the side protectors off by unscrewing the three hex bolts of the bracket around the spindle. Accessible when the blade plates are removed. You were so close... I think the side protectors are installed to keep anybody from grabbing underneath the mower to lift it up while the blades are spinning. A liability issue for Mammotion. If you don´t have children in your household, you should be fine to run it without side protectors at your own risk. I don´t know how much protection for the rubber seal is left if the side protectors and their brackets are removed as they cover the seal area. But it could be an interesting try to mow without protectors an decreasing the overlap for more blade coverage/faster task execution plus less potential plugging.

With the rotors blades and those two pieces on each side underneath the rotors all taken off, I use the hose to clean them. Once all of them are out of the way it's pretty open and easy to clean with a scraper and an air hose and a damp cloth.

Mammotion, please give Crazy a discount code we can use! He has done so much hard work in "testing" the Luba for you he deserves much credit! Thanks Crazy! :^)

I had my Husqvarna 450x for 5 years and rarely if ever cleaned the underside. I k is it’s recommended to clean it but I never found it to cause any issues. Definitely didn’t have any scraped or worn spots where the cutting blade is

Thanks for the videos @crazypostman. Yours are the only ones that are 'real life' examples and not in ideal conditions all the time. Would you mind including the sizes when docked including the charging base in a video? It would really help those planning to build a garage. Thank you and keep up the great videos!

for cleaning you can take off the side protectors with its brackets. See other persons comment here explaining this. but put them back on after. if you want to remove the protectors just drill out the rivets. this should prevent build up underneath them. i had a few overload notifications due to grass buildup under the protectors after mowing wet grass. so I'm thinking about drilling the rivets out and remove the protectors for good. should improve the cut as well. but put the brackets back in place after cleaning as they do protect the flimsy rubber seals to some extent.

I did my first cutting yesterday with Luba for about 7 or 8 hours. My grass was too long around 6" and it left piles of cut grsss size of a tennis ball in the centre of each pass. The deck was packed with cut grass. i cleared it all in seconds using my Stihl leaf blower. The Luba AWD5000 is an amazing robot without any need for intervention thanks for the AWD - my Worx Landroid couldnt handle the mole holes and runs. Only issue is connections from phone to Luba dropping out. Bluetooth has no range and WiFi seems to be connected only after connecting to BTooth.

Use air hose with compressor. That's what I do. Really good for the screw holes too.

Thanks Crazy Postman! Based on what you have shown, and reading through the poorly-written manual, I doubt if this company will even be around in a year or two. I just cancelled my order from Amazon, along with the 2-year warranty I bought.

Given a large circular centre feature in 2 of my lawns, which would be no-go, I would like it to offer to mow circles outward from these features. In other words do the no-go perimeter you suggest and keep going. On other occasions mowing from the perimeter inwards would be useful.

Great video. Interesting to see where the “weak spot” is with the rubber grommet. It seems like if the deck is all the way up - it would be unlikely that a stick could come in contact with the rubber. Would you agree? I’ll be cutting at the higher length - so perhaps I won’t have to worry about an occasional spray if the bottom. I have a Landroid right now and and it doesn’t take much water to soften the stuck stuff on the bottom so that it falls off.

You may have mentioned it in another video, but exactly how far out in front of the dock does it do the donut spin? I was considering a Luba and was thinking of having a rubber path (like using a semi rear tire mud flap) made so it would not dig up the yard. Thanks for all the videos!

Those two pieces come off with three more Allen screws in each one underneath the rotors. I took mine off to clean.

The Navimow does the no go zones after the edges so I think Luba will get that too. One feature I would like is to be able to disable/enable edge cutting. Not sure if Luba has that or not?

Thanks for the videos! Any idea what the difference is between the Luba 1000 and the 5000? The 1000 version says it only cuts .25 acres but I’m wondering if that is a software feature or if the machine itself is different too. Thanks again.

In your honest opinion, do you think cleaning the Luba 3000 would be a difficult task for an 85 year old with a bad back? I really like your videos & the info you put out, & am seriously considering getting one, even though like any mechanical device, you are going to have issues.

Wish they would use clips instead of screws for the blade mount an the blades itself.

At @10:10 that guard is to protect hands from getting sliced. Probably an insurance kinda thing. I wonder if your cut quality would improve or not by removing that.

Thought ur previous vidoe showed a brush not a scraper. I'm probably wrong. that mat wont protect the grass.

Hmm, T10. I don’t like that. Should have been at least T20.

Doesn't seem like you understand the thing with co-viewing satellites (at least not at this point in time when the video was recorded).

Putting your hand under there while pressing buttons is a bad look lolol

Why on earth do you use a razor blade? That is crazy so you are making live up to your name name but be careful. You can use a bottle brush and Mount on a screwdriver and be more efficient. Good luck.
