Pleased so far but could really be good with a few tweaks
Researched several auto mowers for months and decided on Luba, mostly because of the wireless perimeter and advertised features. So far I’m well pleased with how it’s doing but will admit I was concerned for a while. It took several remapping of zones and testing various cutting patterns, speeds and connection paths before having a setup I felt would work best for me. One feature I wish it possessed was ability to track the Luba with satellite in case it is stolen. There is no mention of this capability in documentation. I would like to sleep with ease knowing if someone took it from my front yard at night I’d be able to track it down. I have a Roborock for our home. Would be great if the Luba engineers would purchase a Roborock and see some of the mapping capabilities and implement some of the spot zone mowing functionality. There are times I want to mow part of a zone that didn’t get completed last mowing. There are times I try to initiate a mowing session remotely only to have the Luba move 5 ft from charging station and just sit for hours with me helpless to do anything. Only when I return home and manually move mower back to charging station can I use it again. There’s also times the mower may stop and require you to push a button to make it continue mowing or return home. Can’t that be put as a function in app? Frustrating to have to return home just to push a button when I could just as easily pushed it on the app. Have to slow mower down so it cuts grass evenly. Otherwise there will be sprigs sticking up everywhere. Don’t plan on running mower at higher speeds or yard will look blotchy. Obviously slower speed means it will take much longer to finish (and look nice) so plan on night mowing sometimes if you have large yard. Haven’t had to use customer service yet so nothing helpful to you there. Except that I’ve had it 2 months mowing 2-3 times a week and not had to need customer service. Overall I’d buy it again but I do hope they continue to improve capabilities that can be implemented thru OTA app downloads and firmware upgrades.
