The max size is also a function of how complicated the border is. So a person with a really complicated border pattern will get a lower high limit than those with a simple border pattern.
Now I have an idea for a new video. Make the most complicated patterns I can come up with! I'm going to make a zone that draws the Batman symbol in the middle of the front yard 🤣
Thanks for all of your Luba videos. I just received mine yesterday and I am sure some of the insight you have provided will help imensely. l am not sure if you have solved the problem of loosening off the blade screws. I checked mine and they are a 2.5mm allen key. Purchasing a good quality key and ensuring there is no debris in the screw should help.
I bought some torx bits to allow me to get more pressure on the screwhead while I'm trying to loosen it, I should be able to get it now hopefully! Did you get the 5000?
@@Crazypostman Ya, I got the 5000. I probably did not need it area wise but I have some steep ditches and while I was spending it was not that much more. Sadly it has been raining some today and I have not been able to play as much as I would have liked.
The welcome mat is great. Lol the new mat is an awesome addition that they included. I had that same type issue with gps the last couple days. My Luba is struggling with gps near my house and tall trees in the back yard. It’s not even under the trees though! They’re just really close 😂
The only time it's irritating is when your programming, When luba is out mowing it really doesn't matter how long it stops because it's doing its own thing
At 7:30 I get idea to add to reddit list of features, if Luba get to obstacle and hit it 3x then go back same path 1m and recalculate other path like car gps navigation. That will work only if obstacle is insade zone, not on the chanel path
Yeah I was disappointed in this performance here, I think it should have tried to turn around and take an alternate path before it gave up like it did.
@@Crazypostman was that in zone or on channel to charging base? My Luba stuck few times at same tree. I remap that zone and now is ok. Sometimes just little changes make all things different
Probably mentioned 100 times by others but i bet its also a warranty concern. You could have it servicing a 10 acre block but it would run and charge for 24 hpurs a day 7 days a week
There is a commercial version that's not available yet I think, it's called Yuka (but it's entirely different robot, doesn't look like Luba 1000/3000/5000 which are all with the same chassis) and it's advertised for 12000 m2 which is about 3 acres. I think that's not the only reason however as in many posts they mentioned that if you have over 5000 m2, you should simply use two (or more Lubas) and they can all work with a single RTK antenna if it covers the whole area. It's the same with the Luba 1000 and 3000 versions - they can probably cover (at least) 5000 m2 as well, however they need to have product separation and push clients to purchase more expensive or simply more (in quantity) products. p.s. they should be sending you a mat as well, AFAIK they will send it to all kickstarter backers.
I kinda understand that 5000m2 is already an pretty large area for a lawn robot, they will be often used on comercial propertys, public parks or huge private propertys where the finish doesnt matter that much. So you could probably stretch the area out to 30.000m2, but the robot get 6 times the wear and probably breaks down during varanty, depending on the laws, they would have need to replace the mower for free and would lose money.
That is a real bummer. I was all ready to buy one but I need a bit more than 5000. Closer to 2 acres. So glad I saw this. It doesn't rain for months so it would have plenty of time to mow a larger area as the grass barely grows. Do you think there is any chance they make it larger in the future? It is weird they limit it. Seems like it should be up to the buyer to use as they need. Thanks for your honest reviews they are the best out there. I maybe stuck with husqvarna for the luba size restriction.
@@thepurplesband Sounds that way. If it costs more I will go with husqvarna for a little more since they have more available service centers and a model that does way more acres. The price was worth the risk for this model but it won't be worth it at a higher price. It hasn't rained in a month so the luba could have cut my slightly bigger than 1.25 acres a 30x over by now. I guess the designers live where grass is lush and never considered area covered depends on the grass type and if you live in more desert like conditions.
I haven't seen your intro in awhile, you still have Tesla in the title screen? It's been over a year since you had one, lol. Anyways back to the video topic, I think it is a software limit not a hardware limit problem with mapping over 5500 m². Their servers and backend task planning algorithms can't accommodate a larger area. They probably have to revamp their software and servers to allow for larger areas, which like you said might come in the form of a commercial product so they can get more funding. The welcome mat and extra pavers at 9:25 look great!
They should just limit the group to be mowed at one time to the battery capacity but they should allow different maps for different days mowing. I would buy one if that was the case but i would need 2 for my property if i have to map everything into one mowing season.
Enjoy your post on this product. My mowable yard area is about 9500-10000 square meters/2.5 acers. Looking at your yard size I think the mower will work for me. But after watching this video, confused, and not so sure. I figured I could set up multiple zones and have them cut on different days as long as my zones are no larger than 5000 square meters. But it looks like that's the total of all zones can't exceed 5-5500 square meters. Get me on track. Will this mower work in my situation?
It can have 10 zones but all the zones added together can't equal more than 5000 m² I was disappointed about that as well but they will have a larger model coming out in the future.
Would a second charging station be of any assistance? Can this be done? Logic being it doesn't have to travel as far to charge and can choose between the two.🤔
You may end up being sorry that I found your channel. LOL. What do you have your cutting width set to? The default from the factory seems to be 25cm or just under 10 inches. To be more efficient I have tried widening mine out to 35 cm or about 13.77 inches which I feel it should be capable of given the advertised width and accuracy. However, the actual cutting path seems to be offset from the planned GPS cutting path and she ends up leaving a strip going the one direction while overlapping a fair bit going the other. It's leaving about a 50mm strp or about 2 inches so it would seem that it is cutting off center by a little more than 25mm or an inch.
I have played around with changing the cutting width but to be honest I have not looked too closely. Only once or twice have I set it to the maximum width. I just wanted a quick touch up I set it to the maximum width and the maximum speed for just a quick speed run. I didn't notice any missed strips but I didn't really look very close for this.
A quick question if you say for instance make a big square and you have to take out some of that square for trees and boundaries does that give you back some of your square footage
Interesting question... I think if you go around them when you're making the initial zone it won't count against you but if you include them in the initial zone and then just add a no-go I think it still counts against you.
I don't know if its a practical question. If you mapped before the leaves come in, would the Luba cut that area after the leaves come in, if there is similar coverage like you have?
It would actually be easier to map If you did it before the leaves came in. You wouldn't have to pause and wait for GPS signal occasionally. When luba is actually mowing it doesn't really matter that it pauses occasionally because it's autonomous so it's not taking any of your time, but when you're mapping your zones and it pauses it does take your time so you notice that a lot more
Mine got to 5250m2. I think that the 5250m2 includes the no go areas which is about 250m2 on my map. So the max is 5000m2 with out the no go areas. For 3k should get more
I don't know if it's true or not but I've been told that there's a limited amount of onboard memory and it gets used up the larger your yard is from all the GPS coordinates and points That's why there's a size limit
I haven't tried doing this. I do have multiple channels attaching to one zone. But the other two zones are not connected to each other so really there's only one path possible for each. I'll have to try this out next time I see Luba
Do you have your Luba doing a pass around no-go zones? I have seen it done on a TH-cam video but I can't find the setting and I have been unabe to find the video again to ask them. Thanks for any pointers ou may have.
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking are you saying you have a no-go zone and you need Luba to pass through it? Or are you asking how to make a no-go zone?
@@Crazypostman No I have made several no-o zones so I do know how and the idea of a no-go zone is that you have some kind of obstacle that you do not want Luba to interact with so I do not want to drive through it. She does her pattern and just turns around each time she gets to that zone until she is past it. She never actualy makes a cut going around it the same as I did when I made the zone. This leaves a wide margin (probably 12 to 15 inches) that needs to be cleaned up with the weed whacker.
@@garryverniest5893 so you're saying Luba does not come back and do a cut around your no-go zone like around the perimeter of it to clean up the edges. I've not seen Luba Mow very many times to tell you the truth, I have it maintaining my parents property and it normally mows during the overnight hours so nobody sees it. I will go check and see how it handles my no-go zones but I haven't noticed any large uncut areas around them.
I think limiting the total area size is a pretty bad way to separate the Luba from the commercial version. The only thing they need to differentiate them from each other is make the commercial version able to be used in different yards, which is not possible with Luba and understandably so. That would make the most sense, as any commercial use will require you to be able to save maps in many different yards, drop it off and let it do its thing while you go off and maybe place other mowers on different properties. A commercial variant would likely have to be larger, faster, built stronger and able to mow less frequently than the Luba. So unless I am missing something, it really makes no sense to have this limit in order to push a commercial version, as the use cases are so incredibly different that they will naturally not be similar enough to appeal to the same customers. I'm not saying the mapping size should be unlimited by any means either, just that they should allow a little more wiggle room above the 5000m2. That way people that have say 2 acres or less aren't forced into the commercial model when they really don't need it, especially if they have a lot of open area that Luba could easily handle. Just include a warning that trying to maintain the larger area may result in less then desired performance.
Mammotion says it's limited by the memory capacity of the luba, so it's also a cost cutting factor to put as little memory in as possible. Evidently for it to mow 10,000 or 15,000 square meters they would have to 2 or 3 X the amount of memory that's built in. So going on that assumption the 3000 model which has the same size battery but less max area Maybe It has less memory installed.
There's no way I'm way too cheap for that 😂 what I would do is forgo saving zones I would just go outside make a new zone everyday for what I want Luba to mow that day and then I can mow Infinity 😁
Does anyone know what the depth of the Luba is when docked? I can see it's 70cm on the website, but I assume that's not including the docking station? Looks like it only adds on a few cm but I'm trying to size up for a specific garage pending arrival. Thank you anyone who can confirm!!
So far from your videos, I like the functionality of this device. The only downside is the 2.8 in. I cut my yard at 4 in regularly. Maybe their next version will have a higher cut range available.
I haven't seen any robotic mowers that will go up to 4 in that I can think of off the top of my head... A few of the husqvarna's will go to 3.6 but that's the highest I've seen
The 5,000 model can do 1.25 acres. You may be okay because your house and your driveway etc does take up some of your space unless you have 1.5 of mowing area in that case It's too much for the 5,000. I have a luba1 not a Luba 2
The original Kickstarter Luba 5000s received upgrade that allows extra as kind of an experiment. But the luba 2 5000s are actually limited to 5000 with a little extra for padding for no go zones
Also I'm seeing from other TH-cam as how true it is saying they can only get 4000 some people say they can get 5000 and then another person says they get 6000 so who knows I guess till you get your own one
I'm starting to think it's not a hard limit on an actual number. I think it's more of a maximum memory limitation with the number of GPS points. Like if you have lots of no-go zones or complicated zones with lots of curves it's going to use up more space in Lubas memory than if you had just a big 5000m2 square.
@@Strangerthingsvehicles It could always be both also... Maybe they do have a hard limit for people with less complicated yards but then it could become a memory issue with people with very complicated yards
Most of my Mows are successful, My luba just needs help maybe one or two times a week. And it's usually from a factor that's not Lubas fault like a stick jamming the blade or running over a brick
I'm recording a reaction video to this news right now! This is very bad. They sold it with an IPX6 rating. The definition of that is complete protection from a powerful jet in any direction minimum withstanding is 3 minutes of being sprayed.
@@CrazypostmanI know it's disappointing. It's still the coolest mower out there. I'm looking to find a used one that works so I can try and come up with a solution. People buy motorcycle protection stuff from China via Amazon all the time that doesn't actually have the rating it says they do. Amazon does nothing about it , and it's likely getting people killed. Same goes for UL or CEL electrical item ratings. But honestly this seems like something someone could figure out maybe with a better boot system. It's still a better rtk style mower than what's out today. I still have hopes they will go legit.
The max size is also a function of how complicated the border is. So a person with a really complicated border pattern will get a lower high limit than those with a simple border pattern.
Now I have an idea for a new video. Make the most complicated patterns I can come up with! I'm going to make a zone that draws the Batman symbol in the middle of the front yard 🤣
@@Crazypostman great idea. And also because of that funny stuff we need map editing and pc web interface for precise corection of map
@@Crazypostman fort that we will need function to make zone inside existing zone. So the main zone wouldnt be deleted

Most of my Mows are successful, My luba just needs help maybe one or two times a week. And it's usually from a factor that's not Lubas fault like a stick jamming the blade or running over a brick
That sucks. Though I dont like my Landroid I can create simple zones with a physical switch. Open source the code.
500sqm not a lot?LOL thats the average sized block of land where I live
It supports 5000 sqm not 500 sqm
Dont wash your mower underneath. Luba just released that. No water,. zero
I'm recording a reaction video to this news right now! This is very bad. They sold it with an IPX6 rating. The definition of that is complete protection from a powerful jet in any direction minimum withstanding is 3 minutes of being sprayed.
What they've suggested here is an IPX3 rating
@@CrazypostmanI know it's disappointing. It's still the coolest mower out there. I'm looking to find a used one that works so I can try and come up with a solution. People buy motorcycle protection stuff from China via Amazon all the time that doesn't actually have the rating it says they do. Amazon does nothing about it , and it's likely getting people killed. Same goes for UL or CEL electrical item ratings. But honestly this seems like something someone could figure out maybe with a better boot system. It's still a better rtk style mower than what's out today. I still have hopes they will go legit.
Reaction video is out now
Still not ready for prime time yet.
