Robot Mower Comparison - Luba AWD - Orion X7 - Dreame A1

I give an update on how I'm using the three robotic mowers. I also give a comparison between the three with pros and cons.

The three mowers I currently have:
Mammotion Luba 5000 AWD
SunSeeker Orion X7
Dreame RoboticMower A1

Your lawn sure does look nice right now LE. Best I've seen it. I think the Robomower's frequent cuts make for a thicker lawn. I notice a big improvement in my lawn when I manage to cut with my standard mower, twice a week, instead of once. And the 1/3rd rule doesn't get broken.

Great video, I just changed my cut height to 1.8”
Made a lot of since on the higher cut, I had it set at the highest setting.

Really like your common sense reviews. Sorry to hear about the Sunseeker as I have the Plus 1.25 acre coming. Was supposed to ship June 9th week but probably delayed a week I am told because they need to do an update that was done after this version shipped. The July shipment will have the update done at the factory.
I decided on the Sunseeker vs the Luba because of the turning ability of the Sunseeker plus another reviewer was not impressed so much with his Luba 2 as he said near his hedge it lost position. I have 3 large trees on my lawn and I need accurate positioning.
I will be interested in what you find out about your issue with the Sunseeker. On youtube and facebook they seem to be responsive to people so I hope they will figure out your issue. There have been several Sunseeker reviews in the last 2 weeks and all were positive so I hope your issue is an anomaly.
Keep up the informative reviews it is appreciated.

Great video. I've been hoping someone would do a comparative reviews of these models. I have a Luba 1, but have a Yuka on order as the maximum cut height of the Luba is too short for my lawn. I also have some trees which make satellite reception challenging in some areas. If the Yuka doesn't work out, I may consider getting a Luba 2 high cut model. Do you have any plans to test other robot mowers?

Thank you for your review. I was considering the Orion X7. I’m glad I found out early that they don’t really stand behind their product or answer your email. There’s no excuse for this. I believe their operation is out of North Carolina? They lost sale from me!

Great video. 🫶 I have a Luba 1 5000, your lawn looks fabulous, when you edit your maps and obstacles, going around trees I have a big area that doesn’t get touched! Do you use a strimmer separately or does your Luba cut close to the tree? If so, how? Many thanks Nigel uk 🇬🇧

Thoughts on if the Luba 2 H version solves the cut quality issues of bending grass over. Trying to understand cut quality between Sunseeker and Luba 2 for high grass cuts.

Loved the comparison. Can I please confirm with you since you have experience with multiple different machines. Are the cutting blade shaped different between them all? is it possible to buy generic cutting blades to replace them rather than buying from different company?

Nice comparison. BTW, when is the first bbq taking place on your new concrete slab?

Can you test anthbot's lawn mowing robot, see the introduction feels very stable performance.

Wish you could get a hold of an Oasa R1.

Thanks for doing the review. You touched on my biggest concern regarding these mowers... how to resolve technical issues or mechanical issues. From what I can tell, there are no local dealers to contact nor are there any repair techs available to come to your house to repair these. If your bot breaks, you're dead meat unless you keep a spare push mower in your garage. I want to buy one, but I feel if I spend $2500 or more on a mower, I should have access to good Customer Service and repair techs. Do you agree?

@TheLawnEngineer if you had to pick one based on cut quality, yard health, reduced bent grass, etc. rather than features and reliability, which would you pick?
