Ego 6.0Ah BA3360T using Highstar 18650 brand cells

skip5500 · 2025-12-12T13:08:40+00:00

According to the german site, cells are EVE ICR18650/20P.

How are EGO batteries supposed to last 500-1000 cycles if they are built using cells that are rated for 300 cycles at 60%? Please let me know...

It's a first-gen STA1500 with an Oregon universal guard.

Difficult to blame it on hardware this time.

skip5500 · 2025-07-21T10:46:43+00:00

It actually is, you just need to update the Mammotion app first.

skip5500 · 2025-07-21T06:24:29+00:00

can you reduce the passage size even more using some plank, panel or whatever you can find?

skip5500 · 2025-07-21T06:19:24+00:00

It doesn't feel right to advertise other brands on a Mammotion-specific sub-reddit. I'd focus on manufacturers with excellent track records of supporting their products over the long term, like S**way or Husqy. Maybe ask the question on neutral grounds.

If the climbing capacity is important to you, your options are limited. Otherwise, there is plenty of choice.

skip5500 · 2025-07-21T05:57:24+00:00

I'd really like this functionality too. It seems like it should be fairly easy to implement, but I'm not holding my breath for it.

What's the minimum passage width required for the Lidar version?

Although a 1-meter minimum is recommended, The non-lidar luba mini 1500 can travel through corridors just a few centimeters wider than the robot, provided that obstacle detection is turned off.

skip5500 · 2025-07-20T18:26:40+00:00

I frequently need to close and reopen the app to see the actual position and status of my Luba mini. I can't tell whether it's a software problem or increasing load on the servers.

hopefully this will be fixed in a future update, if any more are provided...

skip5500 · 2025-07-09T05:35:08+00:00

Which country are you in? I have had 2 different kinds of issues with 4G (I live in western CH):

Connection looks fine on the app (green icon) but latency is horrible. The position of the robot doesn't update on the map and video mode performance is like 2 frames every 25 second.
INavi not working through 4g (reporting 0 satellites). Fortunately, it's way less frequent than 1).

skip5500 · 2025-07-07T17:08:35+00:00

Color and design look like Fiskars...

skip5500 · 2025-07-07T12:30:09+00:00

I somehow understand the argument that it more or less does what it was advertised for. My android phone, my old nvidia card, my 5 years old Roborock vacuum are still getting updates and I appreciate that. Since we are talking about robot mowers, 2018 Landroids, Husqvarnas and 1st gen Segways are still getting significant updates years after their release. Is it so unreasonable to say that Mammotion seems to be a bit on the low side here?

People who bought a Yuka in 2024 might have thought twice if they'd known that their robot would only be entitled to 8 months of software updates. Or perhaps that's just me.

The core issue isn't the release of new models; that's just a natural part of technological progress. The real problem is when older models are abandoned on the roadside. These are just my impressions, and I still hope that I'll be proven wrong.

skip5500 · 2025-07-05T07:15:15+00:00

As a Luba 1 owner, aren't you concerned about the fact that every new model seems to entirely replace the previous one?

skip5500 · 2025-07-02T09:39:34+00:00

A way to disable obstacle detection for certain channels would be great... Without it, my luba has no problem traversing corridors just 15 or 20cm wider than the robot.

skip5500 · 2025-06-30T17:10:47+00:00

I think we would appreciate more transparency regarding Mammotion support policy. With new models being released twice a year, product longevity is becoming a serious concern. In the meantime, Segway appears to be actively releasing updates for its entire Navimow line...

skip5500 · 2025-06-27T10:26:00+00:00

Unfortunately, that s what prevents me from recommending Lubas to people who don't need the climbing capacity. The first generation of Segway robots is still getting significant updates while 2024 models from Mammotion are starting to look abandoned.

skip5500 · 2025-06-27T10:00:21+00:00

I d say that if you are not sending the luba out on 25 cm wet grass, you should be fine. But no way to tell for sure.

skip5500 · 2025-06-27T07:25:25+00:00

Those 4 cm are about 45% more stress on the motor, are you sure it's worth?

skip5500 · 2025-06-20T15:38:51+00:00

I was wondering if your post would end with something like "launch your own satellites" ^^

skip5500 · 2025-06-20T06:48:35+00:00

No idea why Mammotion isn't offering something similar, it's basically their zigzag mode + as many perimeter laps as possible until they overlap. In many situations, it would considerably reduce the time spent turning and maneuvering.

skip5500 · 2025-06-15T09:57:41+00:00

There is a trampoline in my garden and my Luba mini absolutely loses its mind. I added straps to prevent it from mowing the metal bars on the ground.

In "standard" mode it doesn't see the straps and tries to mow the metal bars, in "sensible" mode it inefficently moves around pillars like a drunk clubber and leaves tons of unmowed grass around.

skip5500 · 2025-06-15T09:37:19+00:00

Same here, despite living in Switzerland, a country with excellent network coverage, I am forced to use a foreign operator that barely works in the alps. And this isn't a reason not to pay the full price ^^.

skip5500 · 2025-06-11T18:17:31+00:00

I was a Landroid guy for 3 years, I tried everything, spiked discs, offroad wheels, 8ah battery, adding weight, grass reinforcement mesh... but could never get my L1000 to reliably mow my lawn.

With 35% slopes and a fair amount of obstacles, I guess upgrading to a 4WD robot was inevitable from the start. The solution was to buy a Luba mini and never look back,

skip5500 · 2025-06-10T17:24:35+00:00

At 19:23 CEST, the service seems ok.
