Robot lawnmower Review

The Mammotion Luba Mini AWD (LiDAR) is one of the more expensive models for areas up to 1,500 square meters, costing at least 1,999 euros according to the RRP. The difference is even more extreme with the Luba Mini AWD 800, which is significantly more expensive for a robotic lawnmower for small areas up to 800 square meters at 1,599 euros RRP than, for example, the Yuka Mini 800. However, the Luba Mini AWD offers an all-wheel drive system, with which it mastered impressive inclines in the test. It is therefore an interesting alternative, especially for gardens with rather rough terrain - whether due to slopes or other challenges. When mowing, both models do an excellent job, navigating reliably and systematically. Obstacle detection also worked (almost) perfectly. There is also an extensive app with numerous setting options. And now to the differences: The classic Mammotion Luba Mini AWD with RTK is suitable for all gardens where there are not too many obstacles such as trees, buildings and more interfering with GPS-RTK system or where there is comprehensive Wi-Fi or 4G coverage for the (not quite as precise and later chargeable) alternative iNavi service (NetRKT). If this is not the case, then the more expensive Mammotion Luba Mini AWD LiDAR comes into play. It is completely independent of external factors and, thanks to its laser technology, can make its rounds with ease. It is therefore the better choice for properties with lots of trees or other obstacles that interfere with GPS, 4G and Wi-Fi reception.

The Mammotion Yuka Mini 800 functions reliably, runs silently, and gets the job done all on its own.
