Mammotion Luba Mini AWD 800

Luba 2 awd mini 800... ours go well but haven't done the may26 update which many user an are complaining about. Mammotion is China based so service it's bit of a gamble, purchasing though a Australian physical store helps with service and warranty issues but I think does not cover software issues

I bought the Luba robot lawnmower from Robomate in Newmarket, expecting it to make life easier, but it has been nothing but frustrating. Based on the notifications alone, the robot has problems almost every single day. It constantly fails to return to the charging station — sometimes it “can’t find the channel,” sometimes it refuses to go up the ramp, and other times it slips or falls off the ramp completely. Yesterday, it stopped because a garden hose was on the pathway. I am sick of carrying the machine back to the charger over and over again, which defeats the whole purpose of having a robot mower.

I also don’t receive any notifications on my phone when it gets stuck, so the mower sits there until the battery is completely dead. This has happened multiple times, and it’s extremely inconvenient.

Here are just some of the repeated errors I’ve been getting: - Front wheels lifted or tilted (1030) - Channel obstructed (1214) even though the path is completely clear - Low battery (1005) because it stops somewhere and never makes it home

For a machine at this price ($3199), it should work reliably. Instead, it stops its job almost every day and requires manual rescue. I am extremely disappointed with the performance and reliability. I hope the company seriously improves the hardware and software, because right now it’s not worth the money. Certainly,y you wouldn't want to go on holiday expecting your lawns to be reliably mowed in your absence.

The only reason it gets a rating of 2.5 rather than 1 is that the Robomate staff were very helpful with suggestions on how to overcome these issues.
