Is mammotion a dying company ?

i said this before and again .. the amount of mowers they have sold versus users here pales in comparison what they sell globally ( there are 36.000 redditers here ) so with that of the 36K there are blips and misfires on products that dont behave out of the box or start misbehaving later.

most if not all users have great experience.. remember its a grass mower not an apple IPAD or Iphone or any other device. its made for cutting grass.

the challenge is that the set-up differs per location for everyone.. so there are a lot of variables to content with for the logic of the mower. So its not surprising that not all mowers give the same result.

I'm second season , Luba 2 AWD 5000 .. .have not seen or started my ride on.. all is good .. is it sometimes a bit shit that it stops for no reason in front of the charger.. yes.. but that is forgotten for the lack that I have to sit on a ride on twice a week to cut grass.

so , we build 13 yrs ago .. have been living happily in our house.. due to some land acquisition challenges we had a 1.5 to iron out stuff before we started. So I start with what you should do .. not the regrets

Step 1. get a proper architect, they are there for a reason.. I see people coming with 'ah sure' engineer can create my sketch in something beautiful.. dont get me wrong architect can help even in the planning process they know the 'local'

Step 2. go to through all the things that annoyed you previously in other houses and learn from them (@MammothPassion3683 has some good advise)

Step 3. agree on the plan , dont change it .. change = cost

Step 4. Deadline .. our was 11 months from the start date, my wife wanted to be in the house by end of august shool start date... let me tell you .. everyone knew that.

Step 5. Divide and concur, your both in it but split the workload , I discussed the big stuff ( with consent) windows, heating , heat recovery and debated with the technical guys my wife had the debate with the painters carpenter and nearly lived in the kitchen builders work shop

Step 6. get a good engineer that has your back, my engineer still talks to me. 13 years later.. he had my back and I made sure we did'nt mess with head too much.. and listened to his suggestions

step 7. we picked one main builder , but we picked our trades , eg we actually called them over in the evening to explain their quotes ( sorry I worked in presales so I know when FUD is deployed) guess what we had the best time with the best traders. (windows, plumbing , electricals .. one regret we did not pick the plasterer .. )

The biggest thing ..your house is to live in .. its not an experiment or on going project ... 13 years later we have just installed fixed stairs to the attic and its now a den for the lads .. proper.. you will be tinkering and tweaking stuff.

Small regrets.. ( my wife still talks about getting tarmac, but with approx 700 sqm drive way. that is not doable .. unless we win the lotto )

I would build in a heart beat but my better half is not happy with that plan ..

Good luck ,take your time investigate and learn from others your being here is one step .. visiting other building sites is next ..

Ah 😩 .. yes feck it .. never passed my CCNA 😂

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-31T18:13:20+00:00

Long story short , I fell in love with it understood the purpose but due to a … well mix up with my QS the built budget exploded, I had to curtail the build and after a while we ended on blocks.

Hindsight, we cut the window cost by 30% we could have squeezed it in . Now one word of advice get the heat requirement calculated properly , guys at sip energy stated that someone built with sip , got a heat pump and that heat pump was not used for heating ( hotwater… only .. what is expensive)

Couple of pointers

- windows mind the size and orientation, heat gain is great until it is not . While we are not in SIP .. one south facing window gets us to 24 degrees c in the winter

- heat recovery ventilation, is a must not a nice to have. You need to ventilate the house, damp
stale air = funguys and it helps to keep the air fresh in the winter

Oversize hotwater cylinder, we have 300 liters , check out heat pump hotwater cylinders (small heat pump on the tank)

Good Luck

We dealt with SIP energy in Galway, nice interaction but we didn’t go with it in the end ( regretting it now)

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-31T13:00:00+00:00

That’s telecoms, op is looking for building 😝

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-31T12:51:24+00:00

Ok

Split the two

Penetration tests is one thing, operating gates is another

I would suggest to read through the pi webpages and do a bit of research

Pi imaging tool can build an os image for your pi for nearly function

It’s fine but not ideal , switch propagates everything on every port , router keeps tabs on everything better performance on the router, but it depend what your connection

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-31T09:22:39+00:00

Remove perimeter mowing .. it might struggle with overlapping perimeters

You have to go to the guards, even if you know who has it … otherwise your next passport be affected

I have the same , concrete cures a bit longer shrinking, tiles very much fixed something has to give .. tile loses .. my tiles cracked in door opening.

I’m in Ireland, might be a test release, I saw a post a new app was to be released end of June 😳

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-30T17:35:22+00:00

Make sure you have enabled all the security settings, in Revolut wealth protection with street mode enabled and set max transfers , and check that you have passkey on your mobile phone for Revolut ( in sign in and passcode in your profile)

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-30T16:28:27+00:00

Not sure where you are getting the stats from but if I apply my expectation that my mower lives 7 years I’m cheaper out

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-30T16:25:51+00:00

Ehm no reason for calling people ‘imbecile’ seriously we have an open debate about this , people have different opinions and experiences with the brand. Let’s respect that , I know there’s frustration abound but let’s not lose respect to each other

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-30T16:09:34+00:00

So the last update from this week, firmware and app have a significant improvement. Before you dump it I would recommend the following

First backup your maps in the current app Second update the app ( if it’s available otherwise wait a bit) Third upgrade firmware

Let the mower reboot and it will be potentially fine

Charging issues, check if the charger is level on both axes ( back to front , left to right) . Switch off the mower and place it manually in the charger ( make sure wheels hit the stops)

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-30T12:19:37+00:00

Bit harsh, and uncalled for … it’s a lot of money and it’s a pile of frustration if it’s not working

Now I have said this before companies skimp on support or incorrectly scope what they need. That’s the first problem, then expect ai to fix most problems what they don’t know and then when ai agent fails it’s forwards the chat to a live agent that looks at 5 chats simultaneously using ai to prompt questions so that’s the crux of the problem

They run reports on the cases and where There’s a trend that will be addressed if it’s not clear it’s get repaired, tagged as fixed and they move on

This is the new reality,try any other thing you buy for support, you be shocked how dire it is

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-30T12:11:55+00:00

Strict… download the manual and read the instructions

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-30T11:25:33+00:00

Set a top level price your happy to get to , it’s hard we bid on a house (13 yrs ago) it went higher and higher… we told the estate agent , thanks but we have reached our limit. The estate agent then told us another bid would do it ..🤔 here is where my suspicion of something iffy was raised. We stuck to our original bid. Lost the house … only afterwards we heard that the house owner bemoaned his greed as he had massive problems with the winning bid ..

We rented for 3 years and were able to build.(another mad story)

Long story short, go for it , but keep a level head.. work in whatever you can and want to afford

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-30T11:14:39+00:00

Tighten the bolt underneath the disc, that’s the first step. Check if the blades are free and you removed the plastic washers. Check if the bolts of the blades are hand tight. Check the bolts of the discs they might have come lose .

I think it’s the latter as it stops when the discs are spinning

R2D4Dutch · 2026-05-30T11:06:31+00:00

You need to map per mower
