I couldn't do it...and leave people hanging for the back story vid so I put the last clip in there at the very end.
Your review is one of the best review on luba , I have look to a lots of reviews on luba and your is on the top ones , thank you .
I appreciate that!
Travis, thanks for the video review of the mower. Glad to see OG is coming into his own on "his" channel. 😉 And also glad to see he came out OK on the other end of that creek! 😊
yes...he still claims it is "our" channel but he does help out a good bit at times so I'll give him that. The wife had to yank him out of the next plunge pool. I do think if he went down another step he would have been fine, that's if he didn't hit his head of course.
Good point about Home Assistant: MQTT option would make the device magnificient ! It won't take long that someone will come with a workaround HACS integration...! great video.
Thanks Travis.
This thing looks awesome! Great video :)
Thanks a lot! been a while since something like this just worked without some major flaw in my face.
Straight from the thumbnail you could see its more robust than the 'Ecowatever' so great to see it serving you well the past few months! 👍
Even kept a little dirt on the tires for the thumb. We definitely beat on it a bit and it works well and the wife was happy with it so that's a major plus. She laughed at the EcoFlow one a lot like.. "your stupid mower is stuck again...it ran over my plants again."
@@digiblurDIY 🤣
Dang! That's some high praise! I don't think I've ever seen you like a product this much! Makes me have less buyer's remorse with my Luba1000. I 2nd the call for an API or if they put MQTT in it, that'd be amazing, but I'd settle for an API.
Yes. I was pretty impressed. I went in thinking, "here's another crap mower!" So I let the wife play with it and she kept saying how awesome it was and she's super picky on tech, not sure why she is with me but that's another story. So I started messing with it and went damn...it just works...let's see it fail in the front yard. "Holy crap, it just mowed the yard without me messing with it once. "
Looks better built than my Tamiya back in the day🤣🤣
I'm glad you think so. Tamiya kits are great, but they can be a bit challenging.
Mqtt would be also good for not allow starting the mover if the weather will be bad or it was bad before. And this is important. I want move my mover only if the gras is dry. So very important!!
I'm sold on it being the best robotic mower. My concern is long term reliability and serviceability, and China. My personal mobility is diminishing but I can still mow my lawn myself. Perhaps next season when more experience is had with it by all of the buyers of the first version.
Yes. I do wish the batteries were easier to service as that's probably going to be the number one item usage and heat involved.
If they happen to add an API or mqtt that allows some HA integration that would make that thing perfect. The price is not horrible either honestly.
It isn't too bad. Another point I forgot was easy user swappable battery is on my wish list.
What do you think of this vs the ecoflow blade, specifically the blade having a sweeper attachment too
I did a review on the blade. I can save you the watch.. It sucks.
@@digiblurDIY thank you so much, appreciate your reviews
This one is miles ahead of the blade in so many ways.
does the existing software depend on the cloud?
For initial config I do believe so for theft purposes. Other config is done via Bluetooth
Please make video on how we can use self signed certificate for homeassistant and then use TTS because tts is not working with self signed certificate
I'm using Google TTS with my Google Home devices locally.
@@digiblurDIY how do you have a video ?
Way back when I did my Smart Laundry video with notifications.
Could acquire a good zero turn for the cost of this device, but it really depends on your mentality towards mowing and the situation.
Please forgive me if i missed this, but how does it go with things on the lawn such as dog 💩?
I have three dogs and chickens. Did you see the wheels? 😎 It just pushes through it all.
One thing to keep out of the yard are wooden large sticks.
@@digiblurDIY ok cool. So the blades just blend the 💩 😂
Yep. I haven't cleaned the tires on it except when we had several inches of rain and it got in the mud under the trampoline. Surprisingly it didn't get stuck.
I'm using a wife bot 1.0 for that 😂
That bot does the weed eating there so Dad bot doesn't get blamed for eating up the plants. Dad bot just gets to load the massive amounts of string since Wife bot loves to eat through it like no tomorrow.
@@digiblurDIY Don;t worry, a few more years you'll get spawnbot involved. I've got two teenage ones, almost never have to touch the yard tools. At least, for this year. Both in college, next year, so it's back to just me!
I might have to go get him back out the river though? 😎 Last segment if you missed it.
Yeah that was legit scary for a bit. Flowing water like that it no joke, and if there's a big enough rock it's flowing over, you can get a "death zone" at the bottom, like at a dam.
They couldn't hear me yelling. When I saw him going it was scanning downstream figuring out if I should run down the bank or go over the rocks to where he would pop out but I was just too far away from them and hopped the creek instead. It definitely humbled his no fear attitude a little and taught him a good lesson of respecting water flow.
How is this mower compared to a Husqvarna? Lets say 320 or 420?
I haven't used those before. Onky the EcoFlow one.
over the time you will see a wear and tear on the wheels and the sun will kill the plastic. That does not matter unless you have found out the spar part prices. We got 2 repalcements and that were 120€ or 140 $ if I remember right.
Now you've got me thinking. I wonder if painting or some UV coating would help save the plastic from the sun.
@@digiblurDIY You could always program it to mow at night.
Yup. That's what we do. Let it eat in the evening after the sun goes down.
@@digiblurDIY - you can use Automotive Wax / Sealer on the plastics to help them from degrading over time. I use Turtle Liquid Ice on most everything I use. Whichever brand you choose, make sure it's made for plastics/rubber.
Not a bad idea even with the cover on it. Definitely safer than painting too. I bet combined with running it at night and this it shouid last a while in the southern US sun.
I want to see you attach a paintball gun to it!
Roman candles?
@@digiblurDIY I'd watch that! Just don't burn anything important down!
Queres can buy
amzn.to/3OiwUtS us.mammotion.com/products/luba-awd-3000-perimeter-wire-free-robot-lawn-mower?ref=vvc0uk5w
please take care NOT to drop it !
LOL Sooo waiting for one that can do 3 acres of grass.
Yeah, their largest model, the 5000 can only do about 1.2 acres. I believe the limiting factor is the battery size. It shouldn't matter since the machine returns to the dock to charge and can resume a cutting session, much like modern robot vacuums. Maybe they could update that in the software?
I have no idea if it will do that to be honest. I have wondered if it would let me save that big of an area and just mow it with multiple charges. Must buy a bigger yard now...
Luba 5000 should be able to map 10,000 square meters or 2.5 acres. It was increased in the last software update.
Carbon fiber would’ve been a lot better
Kind of cool I guess, but some issues. No local control options means if this company goes belly up your $2000 robot is done, which is quite frankly unacceptable. The best case you might hope for is the company starts charging for monthly access to there cloud so the product is sustainable then you have an wink or eight-sleep situation.
Would hope to see a bigger and stronger pushback on companies for not including open standards like Matter, MQTT, etc not just your feature request @digiblurDIY especially at this price point.
I'm not comfortable buying this sort of product without a reliable local control option, but maybe they know their market that well. 🤷♂IDK. But has to be a narrow market to afford a $2000 robot but not afford a lawn service right? $60 every 2 weeks + 20 tip is what I pay for ~2000 sqft of yard.
I'd need to go two summers (two 6 months seasons) to break even on lawn services, and at break even I'm out of warrnity on the robot. Great! + having to manage a robot. So the value is super questionable on a lot of fronts.
Totally has it's place in the market, but will they be in business 4 years from today and their cloud be up?
Some of the same beefs I have with many products. I doubt this one would let me pair without cloud access even with it being Bluetooth control for most things.
