I received my Luba AWD 5000 yesterday(!). It took about 20-mins to setup, and came with enough charge to do a quick map-n-mow. I also recently purchased the Ecoflow BLADE and have been using it for around two weeks. Here's my take/comparison. - Upon unboxing, my first impression is, the Luba is very sturdy. It seems to weigh about as much as the BLADE, but its design seems very compact and less complicated. The BLADE seems a bit more complex, with plenty of visible moving parts. - The Luba setup was easy and the RTK connection was virtually instantaneous. I had to mess with location with the BLADE's antenna before being connected, and still have intermittent lapses in connection - Both the mowers' apps are friendly and intuitive. However, when mapping, Luba requires a "channel" be setup prior to starting a mow. The channel is essentially a virtual tether between either the charge station or another map. This is not particularly clear when setting up and I spent about 15 minutes figuring it out. The BLADE does not require this - After mapping, I was surprised and pleased that the first thing the Luba did was mow three perimeter laps. Very nice. BLADE offers an opportunity mow the perimeter after the main mow, but I'm not able to get this to work in the app - I deliberately included a slope of about 30-degrees in my initial map. Luba didn't even break a sweat. It rolled sideways on the perimeter mow, and went up and down on the regular mow. BLADE has issues with a steep slope. I get a warning that it's tilted. - The four Luba tires are legit, and have no issue getting around my rural, squirrel/rabbit hole-pocked lawn. The BLADE's omnidirectional front wheels, with their 45-degree angle, easily get caught up in even smaller holes. This has been a frustration, as I now expect to show up in the morning to find the BLADE stopped at a hole and battery discharged, mow incomplete. - I have some granite boulders that poke up out of the lawn. In my original map, I forgot to create a restriction around them, but decided to just watch what the Luba would do, expecting the mower to see them as an obstruction. Nope. The Luba didn't even flinch! Actually crawled right over the boulder (and did not scrape the blades). The BLADE circumvents this same rock. - One slightly annoying thing both mowers do is mistake a tall weed or even a tall, single blade of wild grass as an obstruction. They both will stop at a tuft of grass that's a different height than other grass and move around it like its a toy or pet. My solution is to clear these occasional tufts with my regular mower before the initial mow. After the first mow, this shouldn't be an issue, as the mowers will keep these parts tame. - The Luba returns to the charger and juices up and returns to where it left like a champ. The BLADE does the same. However, because of my type of rural land, both mowers get a bit dusty. This is a non-issue for the Luba. But the BLADE gives me an error after every mow, saying the charger contact poles need to be cleaned before charging can commence, which kinda defeats the automation concept. I want the mower to mow without having to physically touch it after each cycle. The LUBA had no issue with this, at all. If you have a nice, lush, patch of suburban lawn, you would not likely have dust or this issue. - I am able to connect and control the Luba from anywhere, anytime, from the app. I can check progress from anywhere. The BLADE is not as accessible. This may be due to the RTK antenna placement. I get a "Disconnected" notice about 50% of the time. I am creating more maps for the Luba today. I've got 4-acres to cover and I will report back results. The nutshell: For my purpose and use, I am all-in on the Luba. I'm going to repurpose the BLADE for a smaller, less complicated area on the property. Depending on how Luba handles the entire 4-acres (or not), I may buy another Luba.

I just ordered the Luba!!! Can’t wait to get it. So excited!!

Hi Vince! Great demo/review of the Luba 5000! I have 2 automakers from HV, a 315x and a 430. The 315 I have had for 7+ years and It is awesome. The 430 I purchased from and individual that used it about 6 months then moved and did not need. I recently relocated and have about .75 acres and brought both Automowers with me. The 315 manages my back yard and the 430 my front yard because I have ditches and needed better climbing capability. I have had nothing but guide wire issues with the 430 in my front yard. So, I am pacing the floor awaiting the arrival of my Luba 5000! I am sure it will be the awesome machine that it is advertised for. I looked at the Heisenberg mower and it still has a way to go and I almost bought the Segway. But then I found the MM Luba 5000 and was very impressed. The HV's that I have have been challenging to get update and repair for them from any of My local and semi local dealers. They really do not support the Automower side of HV. They say that they are dealers but this is their forgotten child of the product line. So, I am not worried about the MM 5000 because I have had great discussion with wonderful people at Autmow.com about the 5000 AWD unit. They have answered a ton of questions that I had and since they carry and evaluate many Automowers, they believe that the Mammotion 5000 AWD is a Game Changer. I look forward to seeing more from The Lawn Engineer as I patiently wait for my Luba.

Thx, good review. I think you will find their are quite a few much cheaper units, yet this seemed very well built. In Sweden I have a lawn by the forest, so more moss than grass ha ha. So do not see me throwing that much on one. Yet I also have plenty of rocks popping up everywhere, so would be nice to skip the thread/wire too. Have a great summer sitting watching your toys ha ha

The Luba 2 is going to be great.

That is just awesome, I can see myself getting one in the future, I can also see older people using this technology. Great video as always. Thanks

Yo yo from the UK.. I'm loving my Luba.. working very well.. it's not for everyone but it definitely has its place in the market..

I recently bought the Ecoflow Blade. Same concept, about the same price as the Luba. What I see different here is the Luba does that nice perimeter mow. And, the ability to change its stripe direction is nice. The Ecoflow has only one constant direction and does not do the perimeter mow. I've got 4 acres to mow and I may pick this one up as a redundant mower. One nice upgrade for both these would be the mapping process. It took me the better part of a day to walk the mower very, very slowly around 6 different sub-areas (that thread together as one when done) and no-go (restricted) areas. It would be nice if we were able to use the app to the phone to point at the ground and walk the area without the mower to create the mow maps and then upload these to the devices memory.

Love the review. I'm tracking a few brands/models of these units. Over the past 10 years, I've gone through 5-6 lawn services/individuals only because they go out of business or just disappear on me. I want something I can depend on, have it mow when I want it to mow and not wait on a business/person who is behind schedule. I live in the Ohio area (zone 5-6) and I like my lawn mowed into November until the grass stops growing. I rarely can find someone to do that for me. MY FEAR: a runaway mower! I've heard horror stories from people who invested in one brand or their other and had their mower take off like a pet pooch mowing through neighbors lawns, gardens and flower beds. I have a volatile neighbor and couldn't afford the wrath that would stem from that kind of action.

I bought one and it was delivered yesterday. I already boxed it up and returned it. The assembly instructions were horrible, but I got through it. Then I had to connect the mower to the app. It connected to Bluetooth perfect but wouldn't connect to wifi. I looked online and saw a bunch of people saying the same thing. I ended up bringing it inside. I tried connecting from my phone, from my ipad, through the wifi, through hotspot. I kept resetting the mower and finally it worked after 2 hours. I bring it outside and it wont connect to the RTK. The light on the RTK was solid green and I put the mower right next to it, still nothing. I tried unplugging everything, restarting the mower. Uninstall and reinstall the app.....nothing. Then after about an hour, the entire RTK stopped working. No lights at all. Even when I tried other outlets. The last straw was trying tech support......horrible idea. You can't get it in English and I waiting on the phone for 45 minutes and nobody ever answered. Here's the kicker. When I first took it out of the box I noticed the front end sitting low. I just assumed it would raise up once everything was connected. The front bracket hoding one of the tires was completely cracked. That nightmare of a product was boxed up and sent right back. I'm not paying $3k for something that is this bad right out the box.

awesome little machine, and I'm sure in the future software will be available to program different striping patterns with laser precision.

I've owned a husqvarna mower for 4 years and installed 1700 feet of boundary wire. The unit has been great for the most part but I can say based on my experience, I will only replace it with a unit that can navigate WITHOUT a boundary wire. The initial wire they sold doesn't work well in US soil and degrades quickly. In some areas of my yard, the wire must sit on the surface of the ground with pegs. If the soil shifts for any reason, it can push up the peg and the wire with it. That means if you set your mower to cut past the wire or up to it, it'll chop the wire and the mower will stall until it's fixed. Ive had the wire break once or twice for other reasons and locating the disconnect takes time and a tracing tool to find the cut. I also had to install the boundary wire around the base of a tree. This tree was struck by lightning which blew the boundary wire out of the ground, blew up the charging station, and the power supply. Somehow, the mower itself was unscathed. All 1700 feet of boundary wire now needs to be replaced as well as the charging station and finding parts has been painful and VERY expensive. My only concern with this mower, which I'd love to buy right now cause I'm literally reinstalling the new wire and charging station today, is it's so new. First iterations can be problematic but it looks very promising.

i have used the EcoFlow Blade and the three advantages this one have are AWD, wider cutting path and more cutting blades, 8 vs. 3, therefore, more cutting area per charge.

I use a Landroid L. My lawn is pretty hilly so I'm really hoping to upgrade to this soon. I emailed them to see if I could get it in the US - haven't heard back yet.

It is worth the money!!

Great review, answered a ton of my questions. I do have a couple of questions though. What's to stop someone pulling up, picking it up, throwing it in the trunk and hauling butt? Also, if facing the front of your house, did you have to mow any on the right side of your driveway? How did that work out with the placement of your sat tower? And after reading some other comments doesn't sound like their support exists?

App should stay in metric units, and not use feet, elbows and butt cheeks.

We actually have the Husqvarna 450x automower and its one of the best investments weve ever made. Saves time. Saves money in fuel. No blade sharpening and easy blade replacement. Considering this one for the AWD option because the Husq does have issues with bigger slopes.

Great concept would like to use one but at that price point it is out of reach for 98% of the average American. Luxury item for sure. Thanks for the demo!

I tried the EcoFlow Blade for two weeks... and one of the front wheels fell off. Shame, because I wanted to like it. It is going back so I might try this unit out next. I have a large yard and these affordable GPS units (no wires) are a must.

You have a dog… Do you have to clean up after your dog, before Luba can mow the grass, or can it handle all that without problem. Thanks for the informative video!

Apparently the lawn becomes more dense and plush after a couple months of of mowing 1/4” off every day. I have four lawns totaling over 1.5 acres. No gas. No fumes. No noise. No being tied down to mowing every week. No dealing with grass clippings. Yep. Sign me up. 👍

the two things i wish for all of future robo-mowers, true mulch blades and lower prices.

I've used husqvarna for 3 years and was the best investment made!

Seems like the robot mowers are advancing quickly. Really wish it cut down to 1/2". Would love to see how they work on my ProVista KBG in the backyard. I eventually will raise the height and run a rotary on it at its lowest setting. Almost ready to pull the trigger. Great video.

Mammotion support does not respond. My Luba will not charge. Their warranty says I have to pay to ship it back. I’m going to cancel the credit charge. If they want their junk back, they can send me a prepaid label. Terrible outfit

Another question for you. The Luba specs say, 1.25 acres. I am guessing that means 1.25 acres/charge. Does the mower have memory to return to where it left off after a recharge? Meaning, is this product useful for lots bigger than 1.25 acres?

Awesome video, is there anyway you can show the set up? Like how you make no mow zones? Wich direction or corner of mower you use when programming around? How to make transport paths?

How does the RTK system work between both front and backyard? It obviously has to be placed in the front or the back, and not both. Does this cause problems witch cutting around an entire house?

Had a left wheel hub transducer error on first start history on the unit shows the same error the month before I received it Is this unit new or reconditioned ? Awaiting response from Mammotion

Great info. Since its not a random pattern cut, do you have to worry about it creating ruts on the straight runs, not just turns as you mentioned?

i appreciate your info. I have a second hand small worx landroid ,new big battery in it and it mows almost an acre flat lawn. When i saw yours,finally one with two blades, and wireless.... The only fear i have, although it's 4wd, how does he moves on really wet grass... Slipping? skidding? Because those wheels looks to react aggressively on the lawn....

You mentioned blind spots. How do you think it works with a lawn on the fron and the back of the house and the Luba will not have direct contact with the rtk in quite big areas?

How has it been? debating on if I should buy it or buy a new riding mower for our very complicated 1.4 acre lot. Thanks!

oh wait a minute! so the Luba can also shave my face for me!!!??? 😍 oh a more serious note, I got a couple of quick questions: (1) what are the chances that someone can steal the Luba? (2) my lawn is all centipede grass and I always bag when I mow. for some reason, my centipede grass just doesn't mulch that well even when my mower cuts it down to 1/4 inch pieces... I assume that the Luba cannot bag while it mows? Thanks! :)

Great video! My only concern with these robot mowers is what happens if there is an issue in year 3 or the manufacturer goes under? I've been using a zero turn toro timecutter since 2013 to cut 1.5 acres and it's given me solid service for 10 years. I feel these tech heavy autonomous devices will experience some sensor failure and then I'm stuck with trying to find parts or crawling internet forums for a fix. Any idea on what Mammotion's warranty is like?

How is the obstacle avoidance algorithm? Is it smooth or it gets dumb turning on the same spot or something like that?

Is there a monthly fee for satellite? Thanks

I've got a Stihl robot. I like it, but it only has 2 wheel drive. And gets stuck then digs a rut where two tires spin.. I'm going to get one of these. This one moves faster, and can cut a higher grass of height, so that means I have to scalp the lawn. The Stiehl would have got stuck in the 3" hole.

I would love to get 2 and have them painted like a police car and a powerful supped up get away car. Have the cop car with some flashing lights chasing the get away car!

My lawn is just over 1 1/2 acres. Is there a way to setup different zones to be mowed at different times between charges basically? Or is the 1 1/4 acre all you can enter into the machine's parameters?

Really enjoyed your KZfaq video--THANKS! We're ready to pull the trigger to buy the LUBA AWD 1000 (we have a small yard split into 4 sections) but we need to talk with the Mammotion folks first before ordering. So, do you have a U.S. phone number that we can call to talk with someone at Mammotion? We looked all over the internet and could find only one number in China. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated!

Definitely need a robot for a dog pooper scooper

"The thoughts are my own" yae right.

Does anyone know how I can have my Luba left rear axel repaired? I found mine this morning with fast flashing lights and saw that the axel had broken and the wheel is hanging by the wire.

Debating between this and the eco flow. I’m unsure it seems mammotion isn’t a fully ready to launch company yet.

How does the Luba cope with leaf litter on the lawn in the autumn/fall?

Looks great. Bought one. Took a month to ship. Won’t charge. Support will not respond. Piece of garbage

Is there setting in app to do border cut after stripes or did you set that up as a second area to do that?

How many seasons will the battery last and how much is a new one? Is it replaceable by the user? How much are blades? Can you sharpen them? Lots of questions.

My backyard is shady due to 2 large trees and the forest behind it. Does this mean the Luna will not work? ☹️

How many satellites does rtk& luba require in order to work properly ? One part (east side) of my yard has 3 big trees (lime, oak on the border) , neighbor has spruce on the border as well, other part (west side) has more than 3 trees (maple close to the house), pine, ash, couple of oaks (mostly on the other side of the border), so not a tipical garden yard. Is there a way to check for gps reception without luba ?

I live in southern US and I Was wondering how it dose cutting saint Augustine grass ?

While this is a big unknown, it will be interesting to see how durable it is. If it breaks, can the owner fix it?

So how to do it if i have lawn around the house? Thers like a upper side sloped and a lower side less sloped but, how does that work for gps? U cant see from one side to the other

How it was moving around randomly in some spots, was that cause u programmed it that way?

What kind of AC unit is that buddy that’s a very large house for only one unit.

How much are the replacement blades? Is there website functional to order parts?

Can you wash the underneath? I have a dog also and worried about it catching some rogue dog mess.

MAMMOTION: Aber VORSICHT, wenn ihr den Support braucht. Wenn du kein Tester bist, bekommst du nicht einmal eine Antwort, wenn du etwas wissen willst, was nicht in der Beschreibung steht. In meinem Fall wollte ich nur wissen, ob, wenn ein Haus mitten im Garten steht, die Verbindung zum LUBA auch auf allen Seiten des Hauses gewährleistet ist. Außer die erste Antwort mit lapidaren Hinweis auf das Handbuch, keine Reaktion. But BE CAUTIOUS if you need support. If you're not a tester, you won't even receive a response when you want to know something that isn't in the description. In my case, I just wanted to know if, when a house is situated in the middle of the garden, the connection to LUBA is ensured on all sides of the house. Except for the initial response with a curt reference to the manual, there was no reaction.

How does it deal with Dog poop?

How does it handle the edges up against the fence?

If it's okay getting wet what's the benefit of the garage? How will it know if it's still raining when under covered?

I was getting serious about this mower, but after looking up their website, I'm concerned this company will go out of business in a year or two.

Does this mower have brushless motors?

High pressure water vs rain is not the same. Do not high pressure wash your mower because it can damage is and get water inside!

Just wait till these mowers inherit the autonomous tech that's in cars, itll have its own set of eyes to see trees, flower beds, etc etc.

How would this compare to the ecoflow blade?

Should have gotten the husqvarna automowwer 450xh Epps it crushes the Luba in terms of features and reliability I’ve had an auto mower for 5+ years and just got the 450x Epos and omg no boundary wire.

If you hire someone to cut, how is the Luba saving you any time?

My thoughts are I want one so I don't have to mow any more. The 1000 should work for my yard going to get one next income tax return.

google will convert the units if you dont understand metric.

Non imperial is a good thing! =D

Seems like the wheels just spin..?

Gosh, what made them decide on white…. Clearly had no women on the design team. After one season it’s going to be a permanent grass stain.

Looks like a battle bot😂

I'm first forever

They all suck and if it brakes it's expensive to fix

Its a game changer if you're lazy or disabled.

Looks like you could use the exercise to use a regular mower and save $1500 or so.

Thank GOD you shaved!!! Now drop 20 lbs ! No the mower is a toy

Hey. Does anyone have a UK tel number for MAMMOTION? They've screwed up my order and dont reply to my emails. Thanks.

Maybe you need a robo shaver as well. 🤣🤣🤣. They are cool and convenient and will come down in price overtime when they become even more popular. 👍💚🦸
