Welcome to T3's review of the Mammotion LUBA 2 AWD, arguably the most futuristic robotic lawn mower money can buy. Like everyone at T3, I’m lucky enough to get to try out a lot of gear. Some of it is truly excellent and some of it is merely okay. Only very occasionally – like once in a blue moon – do I receive something so outstandingly impressive I’m almost lost for words. The LUBA 2 AWD is one of those products.
Where most of the best robot mowers still require a perimeter wire to be half buried around the edges of a lawn, the latest wave of mowbots need no wire at all. Instead most of them, like the LUBA 2 AWD on review here, use pinpoint accurate RTK GPS, a bank of sensors and a front-mounted HD camera to guide them around a sward without ever venturing off into the rhododendrons or falling into the fish pond.
