The cleaning (with water) issue is all I am waiting for.    When that is fixed .... I am in.

I will also hold my purchase until next spring and closely follow up for design modification on this rubber protection for the deck leveling pistons

Thank you for your videos. I was just about to pull the trigger and get the 5000. I think I'll wait to see how they respond to your video.

Crazy, I watched that video this morning and all I could think of was your videos with Luba flipped over hosing it off full power, and several times!  I totally agree with you - I think there instructions now make Luba IPX1, that's it, and that's false advertising.  Like you I get plenty of flawless cuts a week, but if it dies in 6 months from a little water I'm going to be pissed.

IPX6 is 100l a minutes from any direction for a total time of 3 minutes with the unit in its normal orientation. Any test lab that gave them the rating would have done it this way.

Ipx9 standard is protecting against pressure washing.

They unlisted the cleaning tutorial YouTube video...

I clean underneath with a flow of water or gentle spray without any issues. I spray the deck with a silicone spray to bead water away also

I have a small compressor, so use an air gun to carefully blow everything clean. Very quick & easy.

It's the same thing with many products. What they say is that the product is IPX6 (or whatever) * only on the day it leaves the factory ***. As the seals wear over time, the IP rating no longer applies. For instance, I wear an extremely expensive medical device, that is "waterproof", and the manual says you can swim with it, but the manufacturers also clearly tells us: "DON'T SWIM WITH IT". Many wearers of this product has learnt the hard way that water gets into it and destroys it after they went swimming. The IP rating system should also have some time component to it, like "IPX6 at least for 1 year", and what you can do to make sure it stays IPX6 for the duration of the product's lifespan.

I agree with you.  That is a drastic change in their specs.  I was hoping to buy a Luba in future, but am starting to think I should look at other alternatives.

the most important thing is how the manufacturer requests. Because if you don't work as specified by the manufacturer, you can't claim anything. You lose the warranty and cannot claim a material defect in the product. I have in mind mainly the first official video from lube and the second official video from lube. greetings.

This definitely needs to be addressed ASAP. Lots of people (including me) have the Luba on pre-order and have plenty of time to cancel still.

They are clearly aware that they caused an issue. The video in question appears to no longer be live on YouTube. Or at least I couldn’t find it when I searched just now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Very useful video. I have just placed an order for a 5000 in UK for a 5000. Based on reviews, specs and Mammotion web site details. This would be illegal advertising in UK and against advertising standards if the claim IPX6 but you can’t spray wash it.

Great video!!
Thanks for the heads up! I ONLY wanted this unit due to the ease of cleaning with a hose! So many on the market to pick from now. Guess I need to look elsewhere! I really appreciate you making this video to give consumers accurate information that the company will not!

In fairness, a  lot of yard crews use pressure washers that have crazy high PSI ratings.  You can sandblast with them 🙂

I’m not convinced yet of this mower, I’ve had mine for 2 weeks now. It does a nice job cutting but lots of little glitches in the programming, I’m not sure of the long term durability of the unit, the underside has some damage already.  
It’s disappointing that they have limited the mowers cutting area, if can easily cut more then 5000m2 in a week but I guess they tell you that when purchasing.

I wonder if they still honour the 2 year warranty if it’s it gets water damage.

It is IPX0... Luba si great when it works. But it will never be relaible! It is only question of time when you get a huge hole on that rubber on motor. I have luba one year now and I had so many problems. I actually have a third one! One came with a broken axle. The second one burned its lift motor after a few weeks. Third one works almost a year now but it is full of water now and it has many problems.

Water projected in powerful jets (12.5 mm (0.49 in)) against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.
