Probably the best robotic mower in the world.
This machine has revolutionised my life. It has saved me from the drudgery of over 2 hours mowing in excess of 2000 sqm of lawns at least once a week, a task my advancing age was making harder to do. The steep banks and complex shapes of my lawns, with their many inset rocks and features, meant until Luba these lawns could only be mowed using a walk behind self-propelled mower. Notwithstanding how impressed I am with Luba, do not expect it to be problem free. Conventional mowers are not problem free; with Luba you just get different problems. Because Luba always takes the same path and steers like a tank, where it regularly turns it chews up the lawn. However, unlike a wire guided robot mower you can dynamically change its boundaries to mitigate that. If you live in a damp climate, it will like an ordinary mower need frequent cleaning but due to its small swing out blades this is a much more fiddly process. Also, because Luba relies on satellite signals, corrected to gain greater accuracy by a wirelessly connected RTK, it will in poor reception areas or where there are reflections lose its position and bump into rocks, walls or even drive or slip out of bounds. Luba does not like trees with thick foliage, but nor does grass. Again once you are aware of these problem areas you just dynamically adjust the boundary to avoid them. After 6 months my Luba is a little scratched from bumping off rocks but so is my walk behind mower. Luba is still a work in progress and has over the year with regular updates got steadily better. My greatest concern is the lack of a national agent and local repair agency and this is why I dropped a star. However, it has already paid for itself so if the worst happens I will simply replace it. All in all Luba is a stylish looking, really fun machine and tremendous value. I really love it!
