LUBA 3 AWD 1500

Review method: Specification analysis
Our verdict
The 1500 is the LUBA 3 for people who want the drivetrain and the deck without the full bill. It shares the chassis with its bigger siblings: four independently driven wheels, an 80% slope rating, two discs cutting 400 mm at 25 to 70 mm, the armoured 360° LiDAR with a 70 m range and two cameras, rain detection and a three-year warranty. What Mammotion takes away to reach €2,299 is precise and worth knowing. There is no network RTK on this variant, so positioning rests on the LiDAR and the cameras alone; the battery is 9.4 Ah rather than 12 or 15, good for 135 minutes and 650 m² a charge; the cutting motors are 88 W rather than 165 W; and the zone limit is 15. For a 1,500 m² lawn on a slope that is still a lot of machine, and the one compromise that may show is the smaller cutting motor in thick, wet grass.

Cons
