Why We Installed a Mammotion LUBA 2 in Coatesville, PA (Even Though the LUBA 3 Is Shipping)

The Mammotion LUBA 3 is officially shipping — so why did we just complete a brand-new LUBA 2 installation in Coatesville, Pennsylvania?
Because for the right property, the LUBA 2 is still one of the best values in robotic mowing. And with our limited-time discounts on remaining LUBA 2 inventory, this customer got a premium robotic mower at a price that made the decision easy.
Not Every Lawn Needs LiDAR
The headline upgrade on the LUBA 3 is its LiDAR-enhanced perception. It's genuinely impressive technology — but not every property needs it.
This Coatesville lawn was a great example. The layout, sightlines, and obstacle profile meant the LUBA 2's vision system and RTK positioning could handle everything with confidence. When a property doesn't demand LiDAR, paying for it doesn't add value — it just adds cost.
That's the kind of honest assessment we bring to every quote. We're not here to sell you the most expensive robot. We're here to match the right robot to your lawn.
What This Installation Included
Every Zippy Lawnz installation is a complete, done-for-you setup. Here's what went into this one:
Charging Station & RTK Setup
We positioned the charging station and RTK reference station for reliable satellite connectivity across the entire property. RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning is what gives the LUBA its centimeter-level accuracy — no boundary wires, no guesswork.
Mapping, No-Go Zones & Clean Edging
After mapping the property, we set up no-go zones around areas the mower should never enter. We also dialed in the edging so the LUBA delivers a clean, finished look along borders — one of the details that separates a professional installation from a DIY setup.
Safe Mowing Near a Stream
This property had a stream running along part of the lawn — exactly the kind of feature that makes homeowners nervous about autonomous mowers. Using precise boundary mapping, we kept the LUBA working at a safe distance from the water while still maintaining the grass nearby. It's a great example of how modern robotic mowers handle challenging landscapes when they're set up correctly.
First-Person View (FPV) Camera
One of the coolest features we demonstrated: the LUBA 2's live camera feed. From the Mammotion app, you can see exactly what your mower sees in real time — useful for checking on the lawn, monitoring the mower's progress, or just enjoying a robot's-eye view of your property.
The Underrated Feature: These Mowers Are Short
Here's something that doesn't get enough attention in the spec sheets: the LUBA 2 and LUBA 3 have a remarkably low profile.
Why does that matter? Fences.
Many properties have fence lines with a few inches of clearance underneath. Larger robotic mowers hit the fence and turn around, leaving strips of uncut grass on the other side — or requiring you to open gates and create separate mowing zones.
The LUBA is short enough to slip right under many fences and keep mowing. Combined with its omnidirectional front wheels, it maneuvers through tight spots and transitions that stop bulkier robots cold. On this Coatesville property, that meant seamless coverage in areas that would have been dead zones for other machines.
Limited-Time LUBA 2 Discounts — While Supplies Last
With the LUBA 3 now shipping, we have a limited supply of LUBA 2 mowers available at special pricing. If your property doesn't need LiDAR — and many don't — this is a rare chance to get a flagship-class robotic mower at a significant discount.
Once they're gone, they're gone.
