Mammotion Luba 3

P PCWorld Ashley Biancuzzo · reviewer

The Mammotion Luba 3 AWD turns out to be a lot more capable than expected, handling a rough, awkward yard surprisingly well, even if the app and setup aren’t always smooth.

T Trusted Reviews David Ludlow · reviewer

Once the lawn is down to the right height, the Luba 3 makes light work of keeping the lawn looking tidy if set to cut around twice a week in typical UK summer conditions.

S Steep Terrain Mowers ajosephr · reviewer

The answer is yes—aggressively. The LUBA 3 is rated for 38.6 degrees (an 80% grade), and independent testers have pushed it beyond 45 degrees on wet January grass with minimal slippage. Its all-wheel-drive system, full suspension, and paddle-tread rear tires generate traction that makes traditional AWD robot mowers look like shopping carts.

I watched one in operation several years ago and I was quite impressed! It cut right at the edge of it's programmed perimeter and then returned to the charging station, parking on it perfectly! When it only has to trim a little from everywhere it seems to do a great job in looking consistent.

This is pretty awesome if you have sandy ground, lots of hills, or if you're in like a cabin type experience here. You can see in the background it's early spring. Uh we are up north in Michigan. We don't have a lot of grass at this point time, but we're getting there. It's going to warm up quick and this lawn is going to fill in quite fast.

30 day review Luba 3-1500=Love It! What a game changer and the lawn looks great! I’ve got the fenced backyard scheduled to mow every 3rd day and do the front yard on a similar schedule when I’m around to handle the gate. Got lots of tips from this Mammotion community that I put into practice.

I've only been able to use this mower for a few weeks, but it has been pretty incredible. I've had no issues with positioning or with the mower getting stuck. The previous version, this path that I'm taking it on right now from the backyard to the front yard, it would not be uncommon for it to get stuck.

The Luba 3 AWD is clearly designed for homeowners who have given up on robots in the past because of steep hills or complex landscaping. During the live demos this thing handled extreme inclines and obstacles with the kind of agility you usually only see in high end drones.

This thing feels more like a Tesla figuring out your lawn with the combination of that lidar, the vision, and the network RTK. Those three combined together, it's just a beautiful machine that navigates your lawn with so much more precision than really honestly any other robot lawnmower that I've tested to date. So, that's saying a lot. And this is the fourth generation of the Luba.

2 - Antennas - you don’t need one. At least not with the Luba 3 model. It is a plug’n’play machine which for someone who doesn’t like others knowing I’m not doing the mowing myself, is a superb feature and means the whole operation is just less conspicuous.

One of the things that surprised me most was how simple the setup process was. For years, robotic mowers required perimeter wires buried throughout your yard. Nobody wants to spend a weekend digging trenches before they can even mow. With the Luba 3, setup is almost shockingly simple. There are no boundary wires. There isn't even an RTK base station required.

This is actually one of the most promising new units to hit the market recently and it's made from a company called Mammotion. And this is the Luba 3. The Luba 3 comes in three different varieties.

The Luba 2 has cut through my also very mossy lawn no problem. For first few cuts (or if grass/moss is wet) I recommend cleaning off the bottom of the mower after each mow to prevent too much build up.

If you have been searching for a premium wire-free robot mower and want something that pushes beyond the usual RTK-only limitations, the LUBA 3 AWD deserves to be right near the top of your shortlist.

>> All right, so initial impressions just off of the mapping, the setup, and the mowing of this section of grass, I got to say it's pretty impressive. The Luba 3 is a hands-off machine in this aspect in that I set it to map, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. I set it to mow, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Now, this is a best-case scenario.

So, the Luba 3 says it can do an 80% slope. That's 38.6 degrees. That's steep enough so that most adults can't really comfortably walk up it without using their hands or leaning forward.

I was able to test it on slopes of up to 80% which is the maximum it can handle and it performs quite well on 70% slopes.

Unfortunately, the only access is down a step, which the Luba 3 can't navigate. I initially tried physically moving the mower to the second lawn to create a new map.

I did confirm with Mammotion support that this currently isn't possible.

And there's a reason why, but I think it pretty much replaces mowing your lawn or having to mow your lawn completely for the most part. The only time that I would personally mow your lawn or get it mowed real quick is if it's really, really tall.
