Mammotion Luba Blade Replacement: Why I Switched to Titanium
It's the start of a new mowing season, which means it's time for one of the most overlooked maintenance jobs on a robotic mower: swapping the blades.

As a reseller of robotic lawn mowers and snow blowers, I made the call to go check out CES 2026 to see what Mammotion , Yarbo , Etc... had for the new year. For the most part, the things I saw were pretty much what you'd expect. Mammotion has LiDAR now, very cool! Also, they impressed me by showing the robots climb a 2-story fake hill at a 45-degree angle. Not too shabby. Yarbo has the M-series coming out. Basically just a smaller Y-series. Also, cool, but we won't see it un
