My thoughts after one month with this guy:

1-Grateful that I haven’t had any of the many technical issues one reads all about on Reddit.

2-impressed with how little I have to think about the lawn, but surprised by how much time I spend researching the Luba.

3-floored by how much better my lawn looks due to frequent cutting.

4-surprised by the fact that I get annoyed when I have to remap a border or no go zone (because I planted trees).

5-not super thrilled with what is an ingenious turning design in theory but in practice is not great.  Luba grinds away on tight radii.

One thing I realized is that the in-place turning is mainly powered by the rear wheels.  The sideways direction of the omni-direction front wheels is not powered so it’s the rear wheels doing the bulk of the work.  I don’t think this design will last.

We’re moving and will have more property and I’m gonna try the Navimow.  Will have them both running around.  I think the front wheel turning design is better but perhaps more complicated and more likely to have problems but we’ll see.  The Navimow sub has as many complaints as here so with any luck in a year I’ll spend ALL of my time w customer service from two separate companies!
