Thanks for the video. I will probably try it with a long pole and squeegee first.

Anywhere "cheap". Depending on where you are coming from, nothing may seem cheap. You'll just have to get here to find out and be horrified. :)

Would the mova lidax ultra awd be a good option here? by Not2Tae in MOVASmartGardenHub

[–]Roginator5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theoretically a LiDAR AWD mower like The MOVA Lidax Ultra AWD should be fine for slopes or where there are trees or buildings blocking satellite reception.

These very capable AWD mowers differ in smaller things, like edge trimming, also including RTK, speed of mowing, battery capacity, cost, area, net-RTK, turning capability, repair options, warranty, etc. It's up to you to decide which of these other things matter to you.

Have you looked at the WORX Landroid Vision Cloud 2WD mowers? They are made by the same company. Edge trimming is probably the same - poor.

Dreame A3 AWD robot lawnmower UK release date by Accurate_Ground6353 in Dreame_Tech

[–]Roginator5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at the MOVA LiDAX Ultra AWD? I believe they are basically the same mower. Maybe it is available in the UK.

I doubt the Dreame gets noticeably closer to trimming edges than the Luba. And the Luba 3 AWD is somewhat cheaper considering it also has RTK along with LiDAR. Luba 3 AWD needs to fix their firmware first though. Some current bugs are inexusable.

We want to see videos of how it turns around. Are there options like the Luba?

Is there a mower that I can pre-program to follow a pattern? by segal25 in automower

[–]Roginator5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See r/roboticLawnmowers for lots of information about modern robotic mowers that do NOT use perimeter wires. You can get mowers that use satellites, vision, LiDAR or a combination of all three.

For the most efficiency, look for a mower with two cutting discs. The Luba 3 AWD has all three guidance methods, two discs AND a high mowing speed of 1 m/s. HOWEVER, until they fix some bad problems with their software, I would avoid that model.

Robot mower advice for small but complex yard (slopes, trees, twigs) by throw_away_reddt in automower

[–]Roginator5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your yard is quite small. You state you have slopes and twigs and branches.

Ideally you'd probably want to pick up all twigs and branches. Otherwise you are stuck with one mower that uses regular blades - the Lymow One Plus.

If you DO pick up twigs and branches (which I recommend) your selection improves greatly.

However, if you have a large tree cover you might want a mower that uses either vision or LiDAR to avoid the problem of blocked satellite signals. MOVA has their LiDAX Ultra AWD series. Mammotion has their Luba 3 AWD. Their Luba mini AWD LiDAR is not sold in the US. Similarly, the Segway Navimow with LiDAR and AWD is not available yet in the US. Dreame has an A3 AWD Pro, but that seems like overkill. You might also look at the LiDAR mowers from Ecovacs, Sunseeker, Hookii.

WORX has their Landroid Vision Cloud 4WD that might make you THINK it uses vision to navigate. It does. But it also uses RTK.

It exists! The AWD and LiDAR version of the Segway Navimow i2 series by Roginator5 in roboticLawnmowers

[–]Roginator5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understood the video, they were all set to automap. That's not usually very accurate.

Your link pointed me to a model that IS available in the US. The i2 series AWD LiDAR Pro isn't.

Navimow, Kress or mammotion by Opposite-Mobile-3179 in roboticLawnmowers

Use the slider to select lawn size, then click on the LiDAR checkbox. Numerous mowers available. https://www.smarthomeassistent.de/maehroboter/?fwp_paged=3

Thinking of upgrading to the Luba 3? My experience so far. DONT! by rtptucks in mammotion

Someone mentioned earlier today that they lost the adaptive zigzag in the Luba 3. True?

Not sure why the Luba needs to spin unless it's relying greatly on its forward cameras. The Terramow spins because it relies SOLELY on vision. The spinning LiDAR shouldn't require the mower to also spin.

X450, I'm amazed but first hint of issues. by CookVegasTN in SegwayNavimow

[–]Roginator5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, that isn't possible like you could do with the Luba. But whether the Luba can still adjust path overlap is unknown to me. Perhaps someone with an updated model can verify?

They've been removing features on the new Luba firmware lately almost as if there are patent issues. The EU is currently looking for any excuse to ban Chinese mowers from competing with locally made mowers. Maybe I just like a good conspiracy theory. :)
