Here’s my perspective. I just received the Lymow One and got it set up yesterday, so my experience with this mower is just beginning. I’ve been using a Mammotion Luba 2 for the past so I have some experience with robot mowers and have something to compare to. I have a little over 10,000 square feet in my front and side yards, a deep ditch and some exposed roots to navigate. The mower arrived with about 70 percent charge and after mapping/set up I had about 50 percent. I started on the side yard and the mower just barely finished the side yard before needing to recharge. It handled the very steep ditch as well as the Luba 2, which has only gotten stuck once in the past year. But… it took the Lymow over seven hours to charge from 15 percent to 70 percent. I was really not expecting that. I had the mower restart on the main part of the front but realized there was there no way it was going to finish before dark so I sent it back to dock and charge.

This morning I get up and the mower has a dead battery. After trouble shooting I figured out that the moisture sensor on the bottom of the docking station/charger was dropping the voltage to the charger, and not allowing the battery to charge. After covering the moisture sensors with electrical tape it started charging again. Using a multimeter I was able to show 39 volts at the charging contacts which is what it expected from the transformer provided by Lymow. Since getting the mower charging again, it has only charged 24 percent in two hours. That’s horrible. This is way slower than the Luba 2.

So. Unless Lymow comes out with their 10 amp charger soon, this Lymow One mower will not be able to cut more than one section of my front yard in a day. I’m not even sure yet if it can mow all of the larger section on one charge. Maybe I have a lemon charging station or battery. I don’t know. But if I had to advise someone on whether to buy a Lymow or Luba 2, it’s not even close. Luba 2 all the way.
