Pros
  • 84% slope rating on four-wheel drive with dual suspension, and a 7 cm vertical step
  • 43 cm twin-disc deck, two 180 W motors, 20 to 95 mm cutting height
  • Network RTK with a 360° camera, no antenna to install; 120 zones
  • No RTK antenna to site: network RTK over the included 4G, plus LiDAR and two cameras
  • All-wheel drive rated for 80% slopes
  • 15 Ah battery: 215 minutes and 1,700 m² a charge
Cons
  • 28.8 kg and 85 cm long, with no passage width stated
  • 68 dB, the loudest Navimow
  • No LiDAR: positioning needs satellites, with the camera as backup
  • No edge cutting, so a border strip still needs trimming by hand
  • 70 cm minimum passage rules out narrow garden paths
  • 145 minutes to recharge, the longest in the LUBA 3 family
Best for
  • Large, sloped or rough lawns around 2,000 m²
  • Thick grass and long cutting heights that a 22 cm deck cannot manage
  • Sloped, terraced or banked gardens
  • Large plots above 2,000 m²
