Mammotion's mowers: three families, no wire
None of Mammotion's mowers needs a boundary wire. The LUBA 3 AWD is the flagship: all-wheel drive rated for 80% slopes, a 400 mm cut from 25 to 70 mm, a 700 mm minimum passage and anti-theft protection with a built-in 4G module, sized for 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000 m². The 3000 and the 5000 fuse RTK, a camera and LiDAR to hold their position; the 1500 positions by camera and LiDAR alone. The LUBA mini 2 AWD keeps the all-wheel drive and the 80% slope on a 200 mm deck for 1,000 and 1,500 m² and cuts along edges. The two-wheel-drive YUKA is for gardens up to 45%: the YUKA mini 2 for 800 m² and its 1,000 m² sibling on a 190 mm deck through 550 mm gaps, and the YUKA 1500 with a 320 mm cut. The LUBA 2 AWD 5000 is the previous flagship, still rated for 5,000 m² and 80%, with a camera for obstacles and an 800 mm passage.
What to check before buying a Mammotion
- Sky and trees. The LUBA 3 AWD 3000 and 5000 hold their position under trees by fusing LiDAR with RTK. The LUBA 3 AWD 1500, the LUBA mini 2 AWD 1500 and the YUKA mini 2 1000 position by camera and LiDAR only; the rest use RTK and a camera, which want open sky.
- Slopes. Every LUBA is rated for 80%, every YUKA for 45%. Measure the steepest bank first.
- Passages. 700 mm on the LUBA 3, 800 on the LUBA 2, 680 on the LUBA mini 2 AWD 1500, 550 on the YUKA mini 2 and 700 on the YUKA 1500; Mammotion publishes no figure for the LUBA mini 2 AWD 1000.
- Runtime and noise. 135 to 215 minutes across the LUBA 3 sizes at 70 dB, 150 minutes on the LUBA mini 2 at 58 and 65 dB, 120 to 150 on the YUKA mini 2 at 57 and 58 dB; the YUKA 1500 and the LUBA 2 publish no noise figure.
- Theft. The LUBA 3, the LUBA 2 and the YUKA 1500 state anti-theft protection; the LUBA mini 2 and the YUKA mini 2 do not.
