I appreciate that you tested the Yuka under real-world conditions. Most other reviewers are performing testing on perfect lawns that are already perfectly manicured and resemble a putting green, when the average person’s lawn is more closely represented by these tests. I like that you tested Unser thick, wet, mucky conditions, pushing the recommendations as it is important to know what you can expect as this is a significant purchase. Keep up the great work!
A good demonstration of conditions which are likely to be met in real life. This is the only robotic mower I have seen with a catcher which adds to its usefulness. The only question left is durability, and battery life. Looks an excellent option
Thank you for your review. This would be great for my family. I recently became disabled unexpectedly at 38 and my wife and I have a 2 year old. It's been rough keeping up with yard work. I used to LOVE cutting my grass and making nice stripes.. now I'm lucky if I can get someone to show up and do a good job and not rip me off. This would be a life saver!
Wow, that little mower was really put through it's paces. I'm amazed it cut through the grass that was taller than the mower itself. It sounds amazing for my my garden and would help me so much with maintaining my lawn as I have arthritis.
Nice to see that you have a mower that sweeps and operates in poor GPS signal locations. This will work perfectly at my place, where we have lots of overhanging trees.
The ability to operate under trees, with limited GPS, is really important. I was also surprised at how effective the sweeper was to collect the grass, etc. Great review that provided really useful and coherent info for me.
Such a thorough and informative video !! Well explained and even discusses any (very few) issues rather than simply mowing over them 😉 These videos are definitely my new obsession and I am super intrigued by the tech.
This was, without doubt, the most rigorous and convincing review of any robot mower I’ve seen. And I’ve seen a few! I was around 60% set on buying the Yuka next Spring but this review has bumped that up to 100% (unless, of course, I’m lucky enough to win one!) Thank you for your thoroughness; I really enjoyed and appreciated this review.
Gone are the days of kids following their dad's around with small toy lawnmowers! Also, the massive house in the background has multiple autonomous lawnmowers! Always driving around doing God's work
Thank you so much for showing the Yuka in real-wold conditions! It's almost always too wet to mow with our push mower in Taranaki so looking to get smart about how we mow.
Luba 2 was announced before I got to doing the Luba 1 update video... that is coming soon. These mower videos take months of work... vacuum can be done a lot faster!
Not only is this the most brilliant piece of kit but the dumping mechanism is such a help. I hate having to stop undo the back of my mower dump then put back and restart. It winds me up. What a change to my weekly life this would be
Super-impressed with your demonstration of the performance of this little helper! Our property in South West Wales UK "enjoys" copious amounts of rain which produces the lushest grass imaginable - you can almost hear it growing! A combination of a 6,000m2 meadow, plus another 3,000m2 of meandering "formal" garden means at least two - three full days of conventional mowing. It's pretty hard yakka (work) which honestly tests the stamina of both current mowing equipment and my 75 year old self!! A Yuka for the yakka would be a dream come true! (Fingers crossed!)
@@RobomateTV Yes, that makes good sense and is great advice. Actually, our "formal" garden is made up of five small path-connected feature gardens which, in themselves, are not at all challenging - just time consuming. A Yuka with its clipping catcher would keep this area nice & tidy. But, similar to your beautiful NZ property, our large, rougher meadow/field area might make a Luba2 the helper of choice I suspect. In other words we need both machines! Still have fingers crossed... Best regards to you too!
I love that it collects grass clippings, this would make my older parents lives so much easier. It would make such a good practical gift, better still it manages uneven ground.
I've been watching you for a while and your reviews are really enjoyable to watch. I hope you continue to grow your channel! Also the robot would be very helpful for my dad so fingers crossed!
this is ace, i could spend all day watching it. we have a huge area that has become so hard to cut as the ride on always dies and needs a new part! defo need to look into this. thanks
Great video! I loved seeing the Yuka in action, especially its ability to navigate tough conditions and maintain a clean cut. The advanced features like obstacle detection and the optional sweeper attachment really set it apart from other robotic mowers. I'm excited about the chance to win one-this would be a game changer for my lawn care routine! Thanks for the informative review!
That's a tough looking lawn mower! I looks like it would even be able to tackle my mess of a lawn straight out of the box. I love its little poop routine...
I finally bit the bullet and bought the Yuka. With the price point more inline with what I wanted to spend it is a fantastic piece of kit. Unfortunately the sweeper was out of stock in the UK but will be getting it once it is becomes available again.
Yep, I need more time to let the grass really recover before it shows the difference in result... but at this time in NZ it could be 3 more months and I wanted to get a video up!
I'll have to make some more videos soon... these mower videos take an insane amount of time compared with the vacuums. The nearest competitor to Yuka is probably Segway at this point. It has the single cutting disc and less traction but experience isn't bad
When Mammotion first announced the Yuka with that single wheel at the front, I had my doubts, but now I'm a believer. Yuka cutting that high grass was amazing!
Impressive demonstration, I have the original Luba 1 and it is doing a great job maintaining our 3 acre kikuyu lawns that I would not normally be able to mow through the NZ winter as the ground gets too soft for the ride on. These machines are impressive.
I’ve been looking into robot lawnmowers because here in north west of the UK it ALWAYS rains. I wanted it to be efficient and give those lovely lines. This is definately in my must haves. Just need to save up for 1 😂
amazing video! This content truly answers all the questions to if this is going to be a good purchase or not. Thanks again for taking the time to film!
Yep, it's still going! I now have a Luba 2 and Luba running and both doing a good job. Luba's current software is actually better than the original video too
This looks incredible! My neighbour has a tree in his garden and one root is breaking ground level in one corner of my garden, already grounding out my manual push mower. Apart from removing the root, would I measure the two sections separately? Secondly, does the memory allow both measure settings to be saved, so I do not have to keep measuring? Great top BTW!
I really appreciate your work, you make very cool videos and I always enjoy watching them. I could really use the Yuka for my parents since they can no longer mow the lawn themselves. Thanks for the good videos
Yuka for the win. Working away for a week and comming home each week to a maintained yard is one less job to do. Very impressive product and stress testing has been good to see its capabilities. I have been waiting for this review for a while as most reviews of the yuka are from the states.
Thank you so much for your wonderful video. Now, I now what I need to get to take care of my property. My house sits on a hill similar to yours only smaller and worse looking. I guess Yuka can help me to fix this problem. Take care!
Looks pretty sick tbh. Haven't seen that many other robo mower reviews but this one certainly looks like it does pretty much everything I'd expect from one
@@staceyrobinson3738 I'm seriously hoping @tez_r wins now, that'd be an amazing story. (We'll still keep it fair, although no one would believe us now if that did happen!) 😅
Don't worry, I'm not that lucky. Besides, I have to admit @staceyrobinson3738 's mum is also my mum. 😅 I've got the whole family subscribed to you now in hope to get mum a robot lawnmower for Christmas. 🤞
Still trying to decide between this and the Luba 2. Lawn around 1000m2 and mainly flat, but battery slopes at either end that are not entirely level and sit between 25-30 degrees, plus the edges of the flat area have steep drop offs, I’m not sure those tiny discs will cut to the edge! Any helpful comments would be appreciated. Thanks Robomate.
That was a pretty convincing review. I'd like to get a Robo mower for my 4800 s/m wooded lot. I've got a steep slope, such as you've demonstrated, but I also have a lot of tree roots and debris (twigs and nuts) that falls from the trees. I'd like to see how a Robo mower would handle that.
I see quite a few robotic lawn mowers used commercially. They are on my radar for our large communal garden, the problem is getting all the other tenement flats onboard, particularly landlords who have no interest in contributing to the financial upkeep of the garden.
A very impressive robot mower! I would love to own one as it would free me up to carry out more other tasks in the garden. What is the capacity of the sweer bag?
Haha honestly neither was I at first. The long grass obviously isn't my property - when I asked the owner if I could film it there they had warned me it was long but I didn't realise it would be that long!
Nice one! I'm amazed it did so well on tall grass. Robot mowers have a bit less torque I assume, and hence smaller blades. Is blade maintenance cycle a step up from a regular mower? Do you need to change them up regularly?
"Finally, a friend who doesn’t complain about yard work or judge my mowing skills! This robotic lawn mower is my dream - works tirelessly, never asks for water, and I wouldn't even have to buy it pizza. Just plug it in, let it loose, and suddenly I will be that neighbor with the best lawn without lifting a finger, if only it could babysit and take the dog for a walk too!"
I found this robot on your channel, I didn't know of its existence. Looks nice ! However, it doesn't seem to be available in France for some reason. Nice review, pretty impressive, i wouldn't have dared sending it in the mud like that though 😅😅😅

I’ve been looking at one of these for a while now. So stoked to see it tested locally though!
Impressive, love the way it empties itself. The one think I don't like about collecting clippings is emptying the catcher. Love it.

Impressive how well it manages the longer/thicker grass, even with having to empty the catcher often.
Thanks! 👍
Wow, that little mower was really put through it's paces. I'm amazed it cut through the grass that was taller than the mower itself. It sounds amazing for my my garden and would help me so much with maintaining my lawn as I have arthritis.
Nice to see that you have a mower that sweeps and operates in poor GPS signal locations. This will work perfectly at my place, where we have lots of overhanging trees.
This looks very impressive, especially how it handles wet grass without getting jammed up and I love that it collects the clippings!
This is wicked. I could sit all day and drink beer watching this bot mow my 2000 sqm lawn. Really good informative and realistic reviews.
The ability to operate under trees, with limited GPS, is really important. I was also surprised at how effective the sweeper was to collect the grass, etc. Great review that provided really useful and coherent info for me.

What an awesome machine. Love the catcher. They are hydroseeding the lawn at our new property next week. Good timing for one of these babies.

Thank you for your thoroughness; I really enjoyed and appreciated this review.
I narrowed down my search to 3… Dreame A1, Segway Navimow and the Yuka 1500. I keep coming back to the Yuka and it’s number 1 on my list currently.
I got one of these. Its amazing, just make sure you tell it to mow the perimeter first or it will glitch out and mow the yard partially.
Gone are the days of kids following their dad's around with small toy lawnmowers! Also, the massive house in the background has multiple autonomous lawnmowers! Always driving around doing God's work
Thank you so much for showing the Yuka in real-wold conditions! It's almost always too wet to mow with our push mower in Taranaki so looking to get smart about how we mow.
Impressive machine! I’m blown away at how well it performs
Amazing. Please provide updates over time, how do things break or wear, how painful is servicing and parts.
Will do. I'm not sure re the yellow sweeper brush... so far it's holding up well, but I can imagine it'll need replacing after a few more months
Looking forward to hearing how the Luba 5000 did over time too.
Luba 2 was announced before I got to doing the Luba 1 update video... that is coming soon. These mower videos take months of work... vacuum can be done a lot faster!
Not only is this the most brilliant piece of kit but the dumping mechanism is such a help. I hate having to stop undo the back of my mower dump then put back and restart. It winds me up. What a change to my weekly life this would be
I can relate to that! If using a push mower I wait until it’s 110% full before emptying!
Great info, I am getting ready to retire and need something to keep my grass in check while I travel.

It leaves stripes, which looks nicer than other robo mowers I've seen, plus collection and dumping clippings, it's impressive.

Best review yet! Just brought a house in Christchurch with a lawn the Yuka would eat up!!
Haha thanks! Christchurch has a lot of leaves too

The specification’s made it look like a bit of a princess. But she really doesn’t mind getting her boots dirty. Another great review 👍
Yeah I agree! Pleasantly surprised
That's a tough looking lawn mower! I looks like it would even be able to tackle my mess of a lawn straight out of the box. I love its little poop routine...
Another great video, I think you are spot on about these robots in our lives changing our perception of what a clean floor or lawn is.
I finally bit the bullet and bought the Yuka. With the price point more inline with what I wanted to spend it is a fantastic piece of kit. Unfortunately the sweeper was out of stock in the UK but will be getting it once it is becomes available again.
How do you find it? Or still waiting on it?
Very useful to see how it performs on slopes and in wet conditions. Thank you!
The slow motion videos make this look so seamless. One less job to do, the dream.
What an amazing mower. I love how the whole base moves to adjust to the lawn height
Yep, I need more time to let the grass really recover before it shows the difference in result... but at this time in NZ it could be 3 more months and I wanted to get a video up!
Great review. You mentioned other competing mowers. Would be great to hear some specifics.
I'll have to make some more videos soon... these mower videos take an insane amount of time compared with the vacuums. The nearest competitor to Yuka is probably Segway at this point. It has the single cutting disc and less traction but experience isn't bad
When Mammotion first announced the Yuka with that single wheel at the front, I had my doubts, but now I'm a believer. Yuka cutting that high grass was amazing!
I've tried a few other 3 wheelers and they have been awful, so pleasantly surprised.
The Mammotion Yuka looks like a great option! Thanks for your review - very insightful!
Another fantastc revew from Robomate. So much better than any other revews on youtuvbe. So theraputc to watch t workng!
Impressive demonstration, I have the original Luba 1 and it is doing a great job maintaining our 3 acre kikuyu lawns that I would not normally be able to mow through the NZ winter as the ground gets too soft for the ride on. These machines are impressive.

I’ve been hanging out for the Luba follow up! Looks like it’s still going but ‘a year with Luba’ would be awesome to see.
Yep, it's still going! I now have a Luba 2 and Luba running and both doing a good job. Luba's current software is actually better than the original video too
Great review! Thanks for sharing all the cons. What are the ranges for cutting heights in mm?
These look great - how do they handle dog crap - without the catcher would it just get chopped up and smeared into the lawn?
This looks incredible! My neighbour has a tree in his garden and one root is breaking ground level in one corner of my garden, already grounding out my manual push mower. Apart from removing the root, would I measure the two sections separately? Secondly, does the memory allow both measure settings to be saved, so I do not have to keep measuring? Great top BTW!

First robomower I've seen that collects clippings... amazing!
Great review. I appreciate all the real issues you covered. One extra question: Can the Yuka run without connecting to the internet?
Yuka for the win. Working away for a week and comming home each week to a maintained yard is one less job to do. Very impressive product and stress testing has been good to see its capabilities. I have been waiting for this review for a while as most reviews of the yuka are from the states.
Thank you so much for your wonderful video. Now, I now what I need to get to take care of my property. My house sits on a hill similar to yours only smaller and worse looking. I guess Yuka can help me to fix this problem. Take care!
Great little mower. I have already purchased a luba for my mum but would live this for myself.
Looks pretty sick tbh. Haven't seen that many other robo mower reviews but this one certainly looks like it does pretty much everything I'd expect from one
Looks great gone are the days of dreaded lawn mowing, I'll have to have a look in person. 😊
I would absolutely love one of these! I’ve got a robot hoover but a lawnmower would be another level as it’s a tough job for me. Thanks for the chance
Very cool! What happens if it hits something? Like a dog bone or the garden hose?
Great review! This is a great product, so convenient to collect the leaves!
Impressive! This is convincing me to buy a Luba 2. If Yuka is so good, Luba 2 with awd drive should be capable of mowing my lawn.
This will be great for my Mum!! ❤
How sweet, if I win I too will donate it to your mum too.
@@Tez_R That's too kind of you!! 🙏

Great review. I am definitely keen on this mower. Can you use it without the catcher. Thanks
I would love to get my hands on one of these. Good to see you stock Roborock products as well.
Its cool to see how far these have come in such a short amount of time. Theyre super cool.
Dream machine guys - Wouldn't it be great to set this going and sit on the patio relaxing while the lawn gets cut. Happy days
Love it, you certainly put it to the test. Does it know when conditions are too bad for it to go about its business? Or does it try to soldier on?
Super interesting to see it operating in such a consistently wet environment.
Honestly pretty impressive -- Thanks for sharing!
Wouldn’t complain if I got to test one in a less wet environment for once haha! It does make for a great test though
This has handled multiple surfaces really well and would make my lawn so much easier for me.
Still trying to decide between this and the Luba 2.

Your property looks amazing. Thanks for the nice review of the mower.
Love the honest and detailed video review. Winning this, couldn’t come at a better time, as mowing is becoming a chore, and Yuma would solve this.
Very nice review. With the mapping can you create more than 1 perimeter (similar to have different rooms) as i have 5 separate sections of lawn?
Wow, that is impressive. Finally something to pick up all the mess left behind
one MAGIC machine
It looks amazing, soooo much more versatile than I expected.
The sweeper kit does make this special. I worry about the front caster when you have a dog that likes to dig... Great video. Count me in!
Great mower! I am interested to know if the sweeper gets tangled with items. Great review 👏.
It gets tangled with cabbage leaves... it doesn't stop it sweeper but it will need clearing sometimes. Cheers!
Great piece of kit and review - makes it look so easy!
Just purchased my first home with a decent section size (2500sqm) would absolutely love something like this!
A very impressive robot mower! I would love to own one as it would free me up to carry out more other tasks in the garden. What is the capacity of the sweer bag?
Does it take the joy out of mowing the lawn? I'm still on the fence when it comes to robot mowers but I'm getting there.
Great video! Wow wasn't expecting it to work on that terrain
Haha honestly neither was I at first. The long grass obviously isn't my property - when I asked the owner if I could film it there they had warned me it was long but I didn't realise it would be that long!
I've been waiting for round 2 of the robot mowers! Glad to see where the Yuka fits in compared to a Luba.
Completely different yet very similar. Each has its place
I've not been following robot lawn mowers too much, but this thing looks awesome!
I'm loving my luba, and this would make a great addition to my backyard maintenance
Pretty interesting. Can you set up multiple dumping points?
Such a thorough review! Such a seriously cool machine
I love that it collects grass clipping!!
Awesome mower love the catcher ,excellent review well done 👏 😊
Well done testing out of scope things that would occur in semi-normal usage!
It's great that it collects the grass cuttings.
Makes it look effortless and means more free time and relaxation
I am so pleased that Mamotion seem to be perfecting the art. Great review, thanks for sharing. Liked and was already subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice one! I'm amazed it did so well on tall grass. Robot mowers have a bit less torque I assume, and hence smaller blades. Is blade maintenance cycle a step up from a regular mower? Do you need to change them up regularly?
Same honestly! Most robots struggle a lot. Blade maintenance is more regular but easier as you can just flip it over and switch with a screw driver.
