Homestead Garage

After 50+ cuts and 45 days on the worst grass Florida can throw at it ā thick bahia and St. Augustine pasture grass ā I'm done testing the Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD. Here's what I actually found out about this $3,000 robot lawn mower, including the ONE blade change that made it 60% more efficient on tall grass.
I told @MammotionTech up front: 45 days of real-world testing, and if it was junk, I was sending it back. No script, no sponsored fluff, no second takes. This is the honest review.

I would also like to see one of these suckers take on pecan and magnolia leaves and see if it can take it.
What I picked up from another video is that the easiest way to rotate the blades is to first rotate the discs. Then after that rotate the blades and then rotate the discs once again. That way all four corner edges get their money's worth.
The app also has a blade monitoring tracker which you have to enable and you can also set the threshold. I went with the default 100 at first, but since it's my first rodeo with this one. I will see if and how much I will need to change it. I am planning to tune that tracker to the aforementioned disc-blade-disc rotating schedule.
Another thing: I have a wire fence between two of my mowing areas. I cut a hole in one section big enough for the Luba to fit through, but at first it was fussy about it. So eventually I had to edit the perimeters of both of the cutting areas so that there was a clear separation between them (so it would position itself correctly and not try to optimize). After that I set an "obstacle-free zone" over the channel so the AI and LIDAR would not go nuts about the narrow area that it could clearly pass through. In that zone, the mower shuts off the smart obstacle avoidance and solely relies on the bumper.
