   How long does it take to cut the grass
   This is a review of the Yuka 2000 purchased in November of 2024.How long does it take to cut the grass.My lawn has 5 cutting areas totaling 11,947 sq. ft. There are sidewalks, curbs and several planting areas, some in the middle of the area to be cut. The estimated mowing time for all 5 areas is 147 minutes at 2 feet per second mower speed. Starting at 100% charge, the actual elapsed time including charging was 4:22; temperature between 50 and 60 degrees. I have good GPS satellite reception in my area. My grass is Bermuda grass and none if it was actually cut – its December and the grass is dormant – but the blades were spinning.Getting StartedAfter unboxing, initial charging, downloading the Mammotion app for your phone and creating a user ID it’s time to setup the equipment.First, select locations for the RTK ( main satellite antenna ) and the charging station. The RTK needs a clear view of the sky. The clearer the view the better. The charging station needs a good view of the sky for satellite connection because the mower, when parked at the station, needs the satellite connection to get started. The mower’s coordinates when parked at the station, are used to establish the GPS coordinates of the station. When mowing, the status page on your phone, if you touch the status bar, it displays a comprehensive connection status. One of the important things in the display is the number of “Co-viewing” satellites for the RTK and the mower. The more the merrier. I had good results with more than 20 for both L1 & L2 satellites. I moved the RTK and the charging station around until they both had good satellite connections. You will need power for the charging station and the RTK. If you co-locate the RTK with the station, there is a connector for the RTK inside the tower of the charging station. If they are in different locations, there is a separate power supply for the RTK. The included cables are very long.Next, establish a Bluetooth and WiFi connection to the mower and RTK. Do not use a guest WiFi network because the two devices will not see each other. You can manually drive the mower using the Bluetooth connection.With good GPS signals, I mapped one small area adjacent to the charger, told the mower to cut the area, broke open a beer and watched. It drove the perimeter correctly, mowed the area in the desired path and returned to the charger, I was happy. Next, I mapped an adjacent small area. It mowed that area, drove thru the first area and back to the charger. I was not concerned with precision area mapping. My focus was on RTK to mower connection and satellite reception in my yard. I mapped 3 more areas testing each one to ensure that the mower did not get lost. All five areas worked.Mapping AreasYou need to drive the mower around your yard to map the areas to mow. If you must drive over a sidewalk or driveway, to connect one area to another, you create a channel. If two areas touch you do not need to create a channel. I broke some very large contiguous grassy areas into several smaller areas.The app calls mowing “Tasks”. Each task describes a mapped area to mow and a collection of settings. Settings include when to start mowing, “Task speed” how fast – in feet per second – to drive the mower, the type of cutting path, path spacing, number of perimeter laps, number of no-go zone laps, and path order.SetupIn my case getting started was not as easy as many videos lead you to believe. I spent about 6 hours figuring out why the mower and the RTK would not connect. Turns out, when I installed the app it said it needed to update the firmware on the mower, which it did. The installed firmware on the RTK would not talk to the new firmware on the mower. After updating the RTK firmware, the mower and RTK connected and started working.Other Observations1. To map an area, you position the mower on the perimeter of an area and manually drive the mower around until you are back at the starting point. I am not a very smooth operator in terms of sliding my thumbs around on a phone screen to move the mower. Also has the mower trundles along there is some left and right drift. The little corrections I made to keep the mower on the intended path, show up in the mapped perimeter. When the mower actually cuts the perimeter it jinks right and left just like it did when I was laying out the area. There is an option to modify the path during this process. But if you are already awkward with the thumb controls it was little help. One solution in to drive the mower around in a wheelbarrow, that is less precise but very fast. I pulled my mower on a piece of cardboard, which negated the drifting and made it very easy follow the curve of a sidewalk or driveway. I could see exactly where the rear wheel of the mower was relative the edge of the area.2. Out of the box the app sets the cutting width to about 7”. The Yuka 2000 has a cutting width of 11.4”. So, you need to change the cutting width in the task area to avoid wasting time. You can only change this when it is NOT mowing.3. In the settings for a task, there is a button for the sweeper attachment. Mine was enabled and set to sweep by default, but I do not have the sweeper attachment. It should only enable the sweeper button if the sweeper is attached.4. To avoid the problem I had when starting, there should a single “Update Firmware” button in the app that updates both the mower and the RTK firmware.5. The RTK can communicate to the mower in two modes. One mode is over the internet using the SIM card, if installed, in the mower. The other is via your local network, known as LoRa. Over the internet is the preferred method. There is a status light on the RTK. It is blue if it has an over the internet connection to the mower. And green if the connection is over the local network. I covered the light with some tape, because I did not want another status light glowing in my front yard.6. Once it starts mowing the status screen shows your areas, the predicted mowing path, current mower position, remaining mowing time and percent complete. At the bottom right under the “Remaining” heading, it shows an estimate of the remaining minutes of mowing and below that the total elapsed time including charging. It is very informative.7. By default, it mows the areas in the order they were mapped. I could not find a way to change the mowing order of the areas.8. When the battery hits 15% charge, it pauses the mowing, returns to the charging station. It resumes mowing at 80% charge, but if you have just a little bit more to mow, you can tell it to continue mowing if it’s not fully charged.9. Battery management could improve. I had 5 minutes left to mow and the mower was 20’ from the charger when it hit the low limit. It would be nice if it said “hey I am close to the charger, I can mow a little more and finish the job and I will have plenty of charge to get back to the charger”.

   A Must-Have for Lawn Perfectionists!
   I purchased the Mammotion Yuka 1500 robot lawnmower with the sweeper attachment and extra battery, and let me tell you—it has completely revolutionized my lawn care routine. I was tired of relying on a lawn service with inconsistent schedules, especially since I wanted my kids to enjoy playing soccer on a perfectly short lawn. Now, thanks to the Yuka 1500, my lawn is mowed like clockwork, and it honestly looks like a golf green!Setup and Mapping—A Breeze!Setting up the Yuka 1500 was a fun and surprisingly easy experience. The GPS RTK station needs a clear view of the sky, and mounting it on my back deck railing (amidst my many trees) worked perfectly. Mapping the zones felt like playing with a remote control car! Pro tip: don’t worry about getting too close to the edges—leave a little space, especially if you have trees or brush, and tackle those edges with a trimmer.Performance—Impressive Across the BoardThis mower exceeded my expectations. It handles my front lawn (7,000 square feet!) like a pro, completing the task in about 176 minutes with a recharge in between. The automated schedule means I don’t have to think about it—it just gets the job done. The extra battery is a game changer for extended sessions, and while I haven’t used the sweeper attachment as much, it’s fantastic for dethatching and leaf cleanup.Quiet, Clean, and Low-MaintenanceYou barely hear this thing running, which is amazing considering it’s essentially keeping my lawn looking pristine. The noise is comparable to an electric weed whacker, and operationally, it’s very quiet. Maintenance has been minimal—just flipping the blades at the end of the season and giving the bottom a quick clean. I also plan to stow away the RTK station during the winter to avoid damage, but remapping my zones is easy and even a little fun!Stripe Patterns and No-Go Zones—Perfect for Soccer Field Vibes!I’m all about aesthetics, and the Yuka 1500 delivers with clean, crisp mowing patterns. They’re smaller than what you might see at a pro baseball field, but they add a polished touch to my yard. No-go zones and dumping zones are great features, especially when using the sweeper, and object detection works well—I had to trim back a weeping cherry tree, but after that, the mower navigated like a pro.Tech Savvy RequiredI work in the software industry, so tinkering with home electronics is second nature to me. I found the app pretty easy to use, and if you’re comfortable setting up a Ring alarm system or any household automation device that’s a bit more technical than a Roomba, you’ll probably have no trouble with this mower. But, if tech scares you, this may not be the best choice. Regular software updates and potential connectivity issues do come up, so being able to troubleshoot those is important for smooth operation.A Few Minor HiccupsIf you have a sloped lawn or tricky terrain, keep in mind the Yuka 1500 prefers flatter ground. Mine has a slight slope near the driveway, and while it usually handles it well, the occasional skid can happen. For steeper or trickier lawns, I’d suggest upgrading to the four-wheel drive Luba model. Also, heavy tree cover can sometimes mess with the satellite signal, but that’s a rare occurrence and easy to fix by manually guiding the mower for a bit.Final Thoughts—A Game-Changer for Lawn CareThis mower is exactly what I was looking for—short, neat grass with minimal effort. I’ve cut out my lawn service completely, and while I still do a little weed whacking and leaf blowing here and there, it’s a small price to pay for a consistently beautiful lawn. If you’re considering the sweeper attachment (highly recommended!) or the extra battery, do it—you won’t regret it.P.S. If you’re in a leafy area like I am, grab the Echo 9010T leaf blower as well. It pairs perfectly with this mower, especially during fall cleanup.

   very temperamental/buggy, but i love it.
   hopefully with app updates the mower will be less problematic. there’s hasn’t been a time where I can just open the app and program my mower to mow. with that being said. it mows wonderfully when it starts. I’m impressed with how fine it cuts my lawn even in thick grass. the battery lasts a decent amount of time and will auto recharge then resume after charged up. while it’s mowing I clean out my flower beds, while its mowing I can weed eat. it definitely makes the tasks of lawn upkeep easier. and my yard looks better because of it.

   De momento todo bien, la entrega del producto perfecta y el robot muy bien, ya lo conocia porque tengo también el Luba2 aunque en este caso la instalación dio un poco más la lata aunque la aplicación es la misma pero el bluetooth fallaba constantemente durante la instalación, despues de hacerla todo perfecto,configuración de corte, mapeo y detección de obstáculos perfecto, funciona muy bien, sin perdidas de señales, de momento lleva funcionando 10 días y muy contento.Si le he comprado una segunda bateria porque comparado con el Luba2 echaba de menos esa autonomía extra.

   Je me suis pas mal documenté pour choisir un robot tondeuse sans fil périphérique:Les tondeuses rtk (avec leurs limites)Les tondeuses LidarLes tondeuses avec caméras seulementLes tondeuses avec bornes en périphérieFinalement j’ai choisi celle ci.On voit beaucoup de commentaires positifs ou négatifs. J’ai essayé de faire la part des choses.Pour celle ci, la clé de la réussite c’est le positionnement de l’antenne.J’ai essayé plusieurs positions (dans le grenier du garage, dans le grenier de la maison, à l’extérieur dans un coin du terrain)J’ai testé toutes les positions jusqu’à ce que le robot puisse trouver une bonne localisation en tout point du terrain (800 m2 en U avec la maison au milieu et pas mal d’arbres très denses)Une fois la bonne position trouvée, j’ai fait les zones définitives, les zones à exclure et c’est parti : impeccable, tout a été respecté au cm près.Il faudra que je modifie à un endroit, mais c’est de ma faute, je m’étais un peu raté sur la bordure.En un mot, je recommande pour une population un peu technophile quand même.

   Vraiment une superbe machine. En marche depuis 6 mois. Ma pelouse est toujours impeccable.Cela m’a pris 2h pour programmer une terrain très complexe avec beaucoup de massifs et et de zone differentes. Cela aurait été impossible avec des fils.L’application est facile a utiliser.Franchement je suis très satisfait. Aujourd’hui je suis a 2000km de la maison et je lance la tonte. Je suis a distance avec la caméra fpv. Fini les retours de vacances démorlisant.J’ai fais appelle un fois au sav pour un problème sur la caméras. J’ai une réponse en 5 min par chat et un contact après 1h par mail avec un technicien. Le lendemain le problème était résolu.Pour moi et jusqu’à aujourd’hui c’est un 10-10.
