Thank you so much for the open and honest review on this machine. I have wanted to purchase a remote mower for the last two years but get so nervous losing so much money.

Recommend using a plastic screwdriver or scraper (but still long and skinny enough to get into the side safety guards) so that you don't scratch up the surface over time which would make it easier for grass to adhere to.

Thank you. Very informative video. I'm considering purchasing a Luba.

Big piece of advice that saved me from returning mine was putting the RTK in my attic. I had mine in a similar setup as yours and would bounce between fix and float causing multiple location lost issues with the front yard (my RTK was in the back). If you have access and a power supply the attic is actually the best place to put the RTK. With RTK systems they rely on satellite signal, which are able to go through asphalt shingles and plywood without much issues, hence the attic working so well for the RTK. You also get a more centralized location and access to the max amount of satellites. Like you said as well, winter is rough on the RTK, and then you don't have to remap every year. I'd suggest anyone to give it a try there first if you have asphalt shingles and plywood roof.

Thanks for taking the time to offer this very informative information.

Any thoughts on using graphite instead of oil to prevent attracting dirt and dust? Just curious. The force from the wd-40 spray would have some cleaning effect for sure. Wondering if it wouldn't be better to spray it off with water and then spray graphite in after the water dries?

I sub'd after watching a couple of your vids...good job and I like your logic. I've got a concrete driveway it would need to ride on to get to the front yard. I'm thinking if I put the charging base on the concrete between the front & back yards, it would cure one of the donut issues. In your opinion, would that work? Thanks!

Interested to see Luba cut grass,let's goooo!

1:25 I just use a leaf blower. Run it on a dry day and then leaf blow it clean. Most everything with come off no problem.

Great review....how wide is your area? Guess it's pretty big if you got the 5000. How long does it take to complete a normal mow in average? Cheers...

Are you happy with this robot? Has it reduced your workload? Im thinking of getting the soon to be released Luka robot. My lawn isn't as big as yours.

Isnt it water resistant? On other robot mowers i see people hoseing the bottom. There is a robot mower with a sweeper attachment.

What do you think of the Luba 2 with the higher cut height, 4G, and the camera ?

Maybe if you going to move the rtk u should put it right up on the peak of the house? The house itself is blocking a lot of that sky that side.

I took guards off permanently and bought a small hand held air blower to clean it out

I plan to get the Luba II high cut. I purchased the 5K model, but never opened the box, and sent it back because my lawn is best cut no less than 3.5" I have not bagged leaves in nearly a decade, because there is no reason to (in my case). I've always mulched leaves. Leaves work great for fertilizer, and the leaves never cause an issue. With that, the Luba 2 will be great during the year before Fall.

They need a clean mode that vibrates the deck surface several times during cleaning.

put it on the highest point of your house

delete your channels and redo them to fix that 2nd donut problem.
