Brett, great video. Thank you for making this. I really want to get one of these. Not having a boundary wire is a game changer for those of us with multiple lawn areas broken up with a fence or driveway. You touched on how convenient it was to do other things while the robot is mowing the lawn, leaving you with only having to touch up the edges with a string trimmer or edger. One of my biggest motivations for wanting to get one is the heat. I actually enjoy mowing my lawn, but I don't do it as often as I should due to time, but another factor is the heat. I don't know if it is climate change, my aging, or if the sun is getting hotter, but here in Florida, I have had days where even at 10 am I feel physically ill from being so hot (usually after doing the front yard and moving to the back yard). A robot mower means being outside much less during the peak growing season (which is the hottest and most humid months for me). Either I am a big baby or I am not the only one that feels that way. A combination of the time savings and the reduction in getting overheated in the summer months is almost worth the price for my 2k sq. ft. lawn (obviously, other people will need to figure out if a robot mower would be worth it for their situation). Regardless, great video again. Thank you.

I’m on the ‘road’ 3/4 wk / month. Wife hired a land scraper for $40 a week to cut grass. Did a Quick Look and while these are Cool, $5000 expenditure would take about 6 seasons to justify the expenditure.

@horlbecm Ай бұрын

Yeah, it definitely depends on what you want done and the local economics for lawn care. Personally, I want my lawn done 2x week to keep it tidy, so that dramatically changes the cost-benefit calculation. My current location vs previous residence in a different part of the country also shows how different it might be for various people in the "going rate". On the fence right now, but leaning towards getting one! Best of luck, Mitchmintz111! Thanks for providing the information and the review, Tech With Brett!

Page 39 of the Luba 2 User Manual, paragraph 4.6.1 It's Highly Recommended to leave 150mm/6 inches of distance between the mower & All obstacles you Map or create a No-Go Zone. This is simply because of the Mowing accuracy of the Luba 2 when the number of GPS Satellite signals drops below 20. This Mower & RTK Reference Antenna need to "see" (receive signals from) at least 20 GPS Satellites at all times and can see up to 29 max. The Mowing accuracy is 50cm (2 inches) when 29 GPS Satellites are "seen" and the accuracy drops to 150cm (6 inches) when the total Satellites seen drops to 20. With the Camera, the Luba 2 can navigate up to 50 meters (164 ft) when there are less than 20 GPS Satellite signals available, at which point it will stop unless more Satellites become available. GPS Signals are weak and easily effected by obstacles near or over the top of the receiver, such as Trees, Power Lines, Big RV's, Structures and Active Atmosphere. That is the reason the instructions insist that the RTK Reference Antenna has a "line of sight" on the Horizon at 45 degrees in ALL directions. Any Satellites below that 45 degree angle are Useless due to Atmospheric Interference. So, pay attention as to where you place the RTK Antenna. If it has "clear sky" in all directions, it will eventually locate its Exact position on Earth (because it isn't moving) and any Satellite timing corrections are then sent to the Luba's GPS Receiver for corrections. The RTK Antenna needs about 10 minutes to pinpoint it's exact position. I've had my Luba 2 for only 2 months but sold my Original Luba that I became familiar w/ on how this Mower works. The Improvements on this Second Gen Luba 2 are Huge and took a Lot of frustration out of this GPS guided Mower.

Nice review! How does it handle the rain and do you need to clean the underside often??

@TechWithBrett 4 күн бұрын

There is an option to not mow on rainy days and has a sensor for that. The other day it started to drizzle a little and it wasn't enough to make it stop and it still mowed just fine. I will probably only clean under it every 3 months and replace the blades around then too.

How was the battery life on this thing? I have a big back yard and wonder it I need to charge it mid mow.

@TechWithBrett Ай бұрын

I ordered mine based off the size of my yard. It is able to fully mow with one charge but if you have a larger yard you will want to go with a 5000 model that is able to mow 1.25 acres or the 10000 can mow 2.5 Acres. The 3000 supports .75.

@Dwreay Ай бұрын

The 3000 5000 and 10000 have the same battery so if your mowing a few acres it'll definitely need to charge a few times.

Seems like the crappy obstacle avoidance (especially when compared to e. g. Goat G1) is the only real weakness of Mammotion. Really hope, they can fix it. Common, you have ultrasonic and two cameras on board. Would also be great if the next generation could drive real curves.😊

A perusal of the various Facebook groups confirms these Luba mowers are not yet fit for purpose. For most people they do not work as advertised and their customer support is virtually non existent. The manufacturer of these mowers is a Chinese kickstart company and appears to be struggling and their future certainly not assured.

@philipperostin Ай бұрын

Funny how you all get the same thing to review, almost the same day (Paul Hibert did exactly the same review today). At this kind of prices (Between 2500 and 6000 canadian roupies) its a useless luxury ! A full year mowing service for 10 years will cost about the same, and you will not have to recharge or to remove the dead grass, or trim the edge ! Really I dont see where these mabufacturers are going nowadays ! This is a totally out of price, out of reach and useless piece of tech.

It would be nice if it could still get close the the edge, but even with a regular lawn mower that is something I will need to do weekly. From my calculations, this would cost the same as 2.5 years of paying a service to do it and you don't need to rely on someone else.

@@TechWithBrett well here in Canada lawn service is about 500 to 600 per season, so 10 YEARS for a robot, no thanks

@horlbecm Ай бұрын

@@TechWithBrett Same. Other way to look at it is just the time value of money even if doing it myself. Everyone's $ # is different on what is worth their time, but I like it done 2x week so the lawn never gets shaggy and the grass grows healthier with less cutting shock. I could get 4 of these for the cost of 10 years of lawn service at the frequency I want... Location, intended use rate, etc all come into play. My concern is more the long-term motor/battery life span, but we will only figure that out with time. Thanks for the review, Brett!
