Zero turn on the LUBA mowers will miss grass at the ends, I find the multipoint turn much better, only on the steepest of slopes (25 degrees plus) will it start to miss) not that YUKA will be used in that type of scenario so I hope it won’t miss at all
Yea I am not a fan of zero point turns on the Luba as it is hard on the turf. Not real sure why anyone would use them to be honest. On the Yuke zero point turns make sense though.
Leaving it outside 24/7 with all the rain and heat from the sun how long will the robot and the bas will last, any metal will going to rust sooner or later no matter which coating it has.
The Luba is a few years old and lasting well. Many people purchase a garage for their mower and you can also park it on a porch or in a garage to protect it.
Thanks for the video! So it looks like the mower is meant to be left outside 24/7? I thought I could keep the charging base in my garage, then just open the garage door when I want Yuka to go outside and mow.
I don't know much about the RTK station. Does it need line of sight with the robot? If the RTK station is in the back of the house, can the robot still navigate the front of the house OK?
Yuka crashed into a car and scratched it. Then it left the working area and headed right into the next obstacle. The navigation and the avoidance safety tech with the camera does not work good enough as for now. The sweeper is not recognized for navigation either, so it crashes into obstacles left and right.
@@jamie.andrews Yuka firmware 1.11.721.537 RTK firmware 1.11.721.37 App version 1.11.280 That are the most recent updates, no newer available. Sadly I updated, the app improved, but since the kickstarter firmware for Yuka every update just degraded Yuka.
@@entswaggles I have not yet as none of their robots have been impressive especially for the price. With that said I have many Dyson products in my home.
@@richardsmith1161You could separate those into different mowing zones and change the height manually or upgraded to the Luba 2 and schedule the zone mowings with different set heights. Sounds like what you need is the Luba 2. Have you seen my review of that?
@@jamie.andrews I watched the Luna 2 video, just too big of an investment for me. I went with the Landmaster Ocumow. It's kinda like the old random Roombas, but with a camera for object avoidance and boundaries.
There exists a curb between my lawn and the street. Somebodies say their auto mower falls from curb to the street. Does Mammotion Yuka have this problem? or do you think the AWD Luba 2 can avoid such a problem?
The only thing stopping any of the robots from falling off a curb is making sure you give it some extra room for error when mapping next to the curb. Keep it well away and you should be good. I do this around my driveway, fence line, and the side of the house. Just means I have a little more trimming to do.
I would love a comparison video between the Luba and yuka. Thank you for the review.

Curious if you are going to be testing the Segway navimow I series
No plans at the moment. The Dreame A1 will be the next robot mower I review.
@@jamie.andrews When？
@@birdhe9315 Should be early July.
@@jamie.andrews great，coming soon！
Please check Terramow and Navimow 105
Who will perform better?
Will a review of the Dreame x40 ultra be coming out soon?
Beginning of July.
Thanks for the video!

You cod certainly do that. You will need to create a path from the closest mowing zone into your garage, but it will work.
I don't know much about the RTK station. Does it need line of sight with the robot? If the RTK station is in the back of the house, can the robot still navigate the front of the house OK?
It needs a clear view of the sky, but not line of sight to the robot. It communicates with the robot with radio signal up to 3 miles.
Would you be able to tell me how tall and wide the mower is thanks.
Aprox 19 inches wide by 26 inches long by 12 inches tall.

There is a recent update to fix these issues. I just installed it yesterday.
@@jamie.andrews i have the latest updates and Yuka crashed into the car and went outside work area yesterday.
@@BIeak1 What firmware are you on?
@@jamie.andrews Yuka firmware 1.11.721.537
RTK firmware 1.11.721.37
App version 1.11.280
That are the most recent updates, no newer available.
Sadly I updated, the app improved, but since the kickstarter firmware for Yuka every update just degraded Yuka.
Is the limit of mowing area for the total space or per area?
Total space and total zones. They allow a little buffer for the area though. It is limited in the app.
@@jamie.andrews Thanks for the fast reply - soooo its tempting to attempt a jailbreak….
@@KeckerErt Interesting
Comparison please
And don’t suppose you’ll be reviewing the Dyson anytime soon?
No plans atm.
@@jamie.andrews do you not review any Dyson products at all? They just release a mop vacuum too
@@entswaggles I have not yet as none of their robots have been impressive especially for the price. With that said I have many Dyson products in my home.
@@jamie.andrews the wash g1 might be impressive
I'm guessing height adjustment is only manual?
Yes.
Correct. Not a big deal though.
@@jamie.andrews It is if you have different grass types with different height requirements.
