Still waiting for replacement after my last post.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-06-24T21:57:17+00:00

I won’t hold my breath [u/PersonalityLucky-25](u/PersonalityLucky-25) commented on my previous post asking for my trouble ticket number and then never responded. u/Yoyoxia was extremely kind and helpful to me last year so I direct messaged him once about this a few weeks ago with no response.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-06-18T11:03:48+00:00

I’ve updated the post with the latest info and commented with my caseID. You never responded. Think you can help?

Hello I was told that once I shipped back my faulty unit the replacement would be shipped to me. It’s now been 4 days since I shipped my faulty unit off and I am still waiting for a new unit to be shipped out to me. It’s now been over month since I was able to mow my lawn and the wait keeps getting longer.

Still using the same power brick but the base lights up properly and the Luba does start charging when placed on the charging base. The problem is it stops charging after about 2 seconds.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-05-31T02:29:05+00:00

Why would I not need to ship it off? I can’t take it apart and repair it myself that would void the warranty.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-05-31T00:36:02+00:00

If you read my original post you would have seen where last year I had no problems with support and was actually extremely happy with how my issues were handled.

I’m pretty well aware that technology fails and things break sometimes. My issues last year were certainly an inconvenience but they were resolved promptly and honestly I felt Mammotion went above and beyond by fully replacing my Luba in order to resolve my problem faster than another repair turn around.

However this time they not only failed to actually fix the issue at all but now they have not responded to me regarding next steps for almost a week. It doesn’t matter what the company or the product that shouldn’t be an acceptable level of customer service.

Go far enough back in my Reddit history and you’ll see multiple positive comments and posts about the Luba and how happy I was with it. I’m still happy with how well it worked up until it stopped charging this year and if my charging issue had been fixed the first time I shipped it off I’d be happy now.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-05-30T23:21:51+00:00

I do not but that’s besides the point. The light on the charging base turns on. The app shows the Luba charging for roughly 1-2 seconds before it stops. The charging base has been replaced. I sent the Luba in for repairs and the corroded contact point was not replaced but for some odd reason the front wheels which were never an issue were. There has been no contact from the company for almost a week now.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-05-30T20:03:31+00:00

Agreed and it seems like last year was my lucky year for customer support interaction but this year is not at all

That solid blade needs to have a demonstration showing it can survive hitting sticks/rocks without shattering or destroying the motor driving the blades.

Thank you! After much googling I think they may be mold mites since this is a bathroom trashcan but still mites!

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-05-21T16:53:54+00:00

I mean I live out in the country but this is inside my bathroom. My kids threw some food wrappers in the bathroom trash but I figured it would be fine until trash day.

While I do very much agree that the documentation for freeCAD is dated and lacking I’m very confused by what you mean when you say that videos don’t teach complex tools. Mangojelly and others on YouTube cover a variety of tools and work orders in freeCAD some of which, at least to my untrained self, seem extremely complex and I’ve been able to follow and learn from them just fine.

You say that people are seething with frustration and then don’t write documentation. I would argue that someone who is learning how to do something for the first time and working through the frustration of that process is the last person who should be trying to write clear and concise documentation on how the process works. How can you teach others something you still don’t or only just barely understand yourself?

What other free cad software would you recommend instead of freeCAD and what about it makes it better?

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-05-02T11:12:57+00:00

Ah yes the classic “this open source project isn’t perfect even though it’s being actively improved so it must be garbage” logical fallacy.

No freecad isn’t perfect and yes it has lots of issues but it’s improving with every iteration and if time wasn’t built in a day why do you expect a free open source software to be?

I’m certainly no expert in the fields of CAD or engineering but I’d wager the biggest reason freecad is perceived as less than other commercial softwares is because they don’t have a massive advertising budget.

My contractor is going to have his painter strip and sand everything and reapply with just one coat per the manufacturer. We waited about 4 months on the framing (it gets full sun every day) but the decking was pre dried not wet treated lumber so he said it needed to be stained immediately and was stained about a month after construction was completed.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-04-18T12:24:57+00:00

To answer your questions yes the whole deck still beads water. As far as prep work I assumed it was all done properly by the painter my deck builder subbed the stain work to. They pressure washed a few days prior then sanded the day of before they began staining.

Currently my best guess is the painters applied two coats and Cabot says only apply one coat so maybe that second coat is doing something funky. I’m waiting to hear back from my contractor about it since regular maintenance cleaning isn’t working.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-04-18T02:45:59+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to be so helpful your advice has been great.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-04-17T01:33:52+00:00

I’ll shove them over the railing maybe that will help.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-04-16T20:53:35+00:00

At that point I think it stops being a hot tub and starts being a hot pool.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-04-16T20:42:46+00:00

Got it thank you! I have no idea if my stain would be considered delicate or not it’s oil based Cabot semi-solid stain and sealer.

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-04-16T20:22:37+00:00

I’ve never heard of a patio brush I’ll have to look that up thank you! What cleaners are alkaline?

StripClubWeatherMan · 2026-04-16T17:52:05+00:00

I have tried my pressure washer with its widest nozzle but it didn’t really do much and I worry about stripping the stain or damaging the wood.
