MAMMOTION LUBA AWD 5000, Perimeter Wire Free Robotic Lawn Mower for 1.25 Acre Lawn 75% Slope, APP Control with Virtual Boundaries, All-Wheel Drive, Multi-Zone Management, Low Noise Less Than 60 dB(A)

Product Information

The LUBA robot lawn mower comes with a large 10Ah battery that lets you cut for approximately 3 hours before needing a recharge. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about charging since it has an auto-recharge feature. Once the battery is low, it will automatically return to its charging station. Once it is 85% charged, it will resume its mowing session until the zone has been completely mowed. The underside of Luba showing two spinning discs, each with 4 cutting blades. Mows in Straight Lines – Stripes Lawn You get the ultimate level of control by using the smart app that connects to your LUBA lawn mower. Using this app, you can easily see where your mower is and create no-go zones around children’s toys and lawn furniture. Need to change your mower settings or your mowing zone? No problem! The app makes it super simple to make changes to your mowing zones, cutting height, etc., all from the comfort of your smartphone. Collision Sensors If this wasn’t enough you can schedule the Luba to cut each zone at different heights, speeds and patterns! Navigation System

The customization options include cutting width, obstacle detection mode (off, 1, or 2), task speed, grid pattern, and more. inch max cutting height feels low – I usually like to mow at 3.5 or 4 inches – many robot mower competitors offer higher mowing height than 2.8 inches

The main benefit of robot mowers is that they will mow your lawn more often than you would and keep the grass perfectly mowed all year round. Many mowers go in a unique pattern that isn’t all that efficient. What sets LUBA apart is the Intelligent Navigation System with multi-sensor fusion. The navigation system uses a planned route to eliminate repetitive movement. In the app, you can set which mode you prefer (single grid, double grid, or rectangular ambulatory). Then, your LUBA will mow with three times improved mowing efficiency over other robotic mowers and give you a healthier and greener lawn as well as an attractive striped pattern. Anti-Theft Protection

One last thought, the white design looks really sharp, but it gets dirty fast. That might make some want to clean it often, if not, you’ll need to be ok with it being more of an off-white finish. Mammotion Luba review wrap-up The Luba AWD 5000 is also equipped with three bump sensors so that, in the event it misses an obstacle (which is unlikely), it’ll touch it, reverse and mow around the obstacle. I was quite impressed with the fact that these sensors are adjustable or can be turned off completely using the app, if needed. However, the Luba AWD 5000 benefits from the latest technology which is a form of GPS known as Real Time Kinetics or RTK, for short. This is one of the most accurate methods and allows the mower to detect boundaries, obstacles and give a much more intelligent mow; but more on that later! Once the setup is complete, you are good to go and will never have to worry about mowing the lawn ever again. What’s more you will have a well maintained and healthy lawn, due to the mulching process, at all times – happy days! Mowing Features

However, the simplest method is to use the included clamp and pole, which allow you to attach the RTK station above the charging station. Everything is secured by a stake in the ground (as seen in the video). With a perimeter wire, firstly, someone has to install it – this means extra time if you do it yourself, or extra cost if someone else does it. Secondly, the perimeter wire can be damaged by animals or someone putting a spade through it - a break in the perimeter wire can be frustrating.Thirdly, if you want to change the area to be mowed, it means re-laying the wire. Finally, if you decide to move, you need to re-laying again the wire in your new lawn. The LUBA mower uses the highly sensitive real-time kinematic (RTK) technique to keep the mower within the precise boundaries you establish on setup. The special RTK antenna and reference station mean that your mower will know exactly where to go, even with a weak satellite signal. App Connectivity As I have discussed, the Luba AWD 5000 gives you as much as 3 hours per charge which is really good considering it’ll mow up to 500 square metres in as little as an hour. But it’s also pretty fast when it comes to charging. MOW LAWN UP TO 1.25 ACRES( 0.13 ACRE/H): The LUBA AWD 5000 robotic lawn mower features dual cutting plates and a 16-inch (400mm) cutting width, ensuring thorough grass cutting without any missed areas. Compared to the random mowing pattern of conventional robotic mowers, the planned route algorithm significantly improves Luba's mowing efficiency. It has a super high efficiency of mowing up to 0.13 acre (500㎡) each hour, allowing your family to enjoying more time on picture-perfect lawn.

Multi-zone management efficiently mapsdifferent zones and allows users to automate specified tasks and requirementsin Mammotion appfor each zone including mowing date/time, cutting plate height and cutting route.

To help protect both your robotic mower, lawn ornaments, and flower beds, LUBA comes equipped with an advanced collision avoidance system that uses four ultrasonic radars to detect objects in the mower’s path and change the mower’s direction. These precise radars can detect objects as small as 2-inches within a field of view of 220 degrees. If the system fails, the mower has three bumpers for further protection. Off-Road Capabilities The main part of the system is the RTK station which communicates with the satellites. However, there are also sensors on the mower itself, giving it a 220º view of the lawn which improves the ability of the Luba AWD 5000 to avoid obstacles. I tested these sensors out by placing something on the lawn and the Luba stopped just short of it and avoided the obstacle completely. If you’re not sure what cutting height you should use, this smart system can even recommend one for you. Your RTK station can be mounted either with your charging station or somewhere else thanks to the inclusion of an extension kit. It boasts an impressive 120 metre range, so you won’t need to worry about connection problems with the mower itself. I found the Luba AWD 5000 to be an incredibly high tech and well designed piece of equipment that’s so easy to use. If you like the idea of having something top of the range without needing a degree in software engineering or robotics, then this is going to be right up your street.

Something that is seen on a lot of robotic lawn mowers is a lift sensor and it’s not missing on the Luba AWD 5000. It’s a simple feature but one that goes a long way in preventing injuries if you have a curious child, for example. Moreover, there’s even the option to choose the type of cut you would like including a fine cut, high grass or efficient cut. There’s also an option to customise how the mower cuts to suit the individual needs on your lawn. One other slight issue, it felt a bit unclear with the app how to add/manage multiple zones, I had to tinker with it a bit before sorting it out. More on that below.Bluetooth bug I mentioned above seems to have been fixed with a software update, but with two software updates I’ve had to try twice each time to get them to install (on the bright side Mammotion is consistently putting out regular updates!) The Luba AWD 5000 comes with a 2 year warranty on the mower itself and the batteries. Mammotion also offers a warranty on the RTK reference station, but this is not as long at just 12 months. It’s also worth keeping in mind that some parts, like the tyres and blades are not covered by a warranty at all. How to Clean Your Luba AWD Robotic Mower The LUBA robot mower is a product from Mammotion, a company dedicated to creating cutting-edge electric autonomous lawn mowers. The team’s staff comes from some of the world’s leading robotic companies, with experience in creating and perfecting autonomous driving algorithm technology, sensor fusion, and mechanical control. When you use the app for the first time, it’ll talk you through some important points and then you’ll be able to connect your mower via BlueTooth or WiFi. Once connected, you’ll then be able to use the options within the app to update the firmware which again is demonstrated in my video review. The Luba AWD 5000 comes with its own charging station which can be installed on the ground. It also comes with screws and pegs to secure everything.
