I was put off robot mowers by the perimeter wire system. This Mammotion YUKA 2000 is much much easier to Install and get mowing.
It’s a modern , intelligent , attractive addition to the garden and does an excellent job. Not perfect but way better than I thought.
Can’t wait to test out the sweeping ability next
I’ve literally swapped from being negative about robot mowers to super enthusiastic, all because of this YUKA. Instantly, the chore of cutting the lawn has gone.
Right now, typing this if in a cafe 50 miles away and could not only start the mower going but watch it on my app as the mower has a build in camera which can be viewed on the app whilst mowing. Normally I’d get home and need to get the mower out, now I’ll get home and can relax instead.
Not the cheapest but definitely competing with the big established brands and beating them in my opinion .

Might have missed it. Does it detect frog sized objects?
I love gadgets, and I'd have one in a heartbeat… if only they did one that was suited to a 40m2 lawn ie a tiny mobot!
Looked at another way, At 2,200£ , there is a man brings his own lawn mower and will do my lawn f0r £100 or less. That is 220 cuts and we do maybe 30 a year? Probably less. So does it have a 7 year life? Or does my nice man need the job more than I need a robot lawn mower?
How often do the blades need sharpening/replacing?
How much does it cost?
How does it cope with mole hills? Of which I have loads…
If you get the cheaper end of the robot mowers, they cerainly have a perimeter wire. It was not a problem fitting this. Worst part is that it follows a permanent path back home and after a very wet start to the year, it did dig a few holes where it turns to follow the wire. Burying a paving slab or some half bricks seems to have helped and reduced further digging!
Apples that fall from our tress are an absolute pain and need to be cleared from the garden, to allow it to work, otherwise it climbs them and complains it has been lifted. Our garden is far from flat with many undulations and in general it does very well.
Edit to add that my neighbour loves to watch the mower going trundling around the garden and finds it therapeautic.
Not sent for a test… but for free so you could review positively hopefully I'm sure you honest generally with your thoughts, but really it does get tiring to listen/see so many things that people review which they havn't paid for with their own money… or if you haven't tried all the alternatives and actually know whats available and can compare in a detailed review.
I have the Luba 5000. I'd honestly put no-go zones around any permanent obstacles. If you rely on the obstacle avoidance at some point it will get stuck on things, ride over them, jam a disc,. etc. It's just a matter of time.
I'd try to use the avoidance as a last resort / backup for if things accidentally get left on the lawn (furniture, sleeping dog, etc).
Stupid review
We've had a robot lawmower for years. It's just fantastic. The lawn always looks good and it's so quiet that we set ours to run at night! All you need is strimmer to do the edges now and again. You just need to make sure all the usual obstacles are out of the way before it starts and it's rather hassle free!
Who empties the grass collector – human or robot?
Pity it needs mains power to charge and cannot solar charge/ power it
RTK = Real Time Kinematic – a system that sends corrections to the standard GPS system enabling a robot to get centimetre positioning accuracy.
Let the grass and weeds grow. We aren't seeing enough insects flying around and total lack of wasps is concerning as they do an essential job.
How does this homage to Bigtrak deal with a doggy deposit, obliteration or circumvention?
Also, why make the thing white? It's not like it'll be immune to grass and soil stains, but can it drive itself to the local carwash?
Thanks for another fun video.
