    I think I would have taken them up on their offer to fix the mower - but I can also appreciate your perspective and we all can learn from this for our future repairs (just seems that the wires for the front wheel motors should have been put "out front" so you wouldn't have to undo those boards and connectors - then again a broken axle is likely not a frequent occurrence). THANKS

    That is very impressive. I want to thank you for this video because it answered the one question I had, which had to do with the customer service for these things. I noticed that they were located outside of the US and with a foreign phone number and this kept me from going ahead with the purchase. Performance and customer service are equally important to me so the information you gave was exactly what I needed. I am an avid DIY'er and repair guy, but not sure I would have been as bold as you to go through the repair you had. Great video! Probably the best I've seen on CZcams, as the camera caught everything you did pretty clearly and at a perfect pace. Big thumbs up!

    Now maybe you could use your influence to get them to actually deliver my Luba 5000 that I ordered and paid for in May... It's certainly not a supply issue as I've seen plenty of FB posts from people in UK (where I am) that ordered well after me and got theirs already.

    • @JustinsProject
      @JustinsProject  Před 10 měsíci +1

      I agree completely! Quick disconnects would be ideal. Hopefully, those changes are made in future models.

    If they had just put quick disconnects on the motors half of this tear down wouldn't even be necessary. Hopefully this won't be too common of a repair.

    You are very impressive! I doubt many would have the skill and nerve to tackle a job like this. I'm glad you got your Luba mowing again and your experience is a warning to others not to drop it. I was thinking about the rubber boots on the front. Perhaps owners might be treating them with rubber conditioner to help extend their life since it looks like a major job to change out if they become prematurely dried out.

    • @owlpath4280
      @owlpath4280 Před 10 měsíci

      Actually anyone can willingly drop something and it not be an accident. But, I understand what point you are making. Logically, owner is making the point to be careful with the mower and do your best to not drop it if one is holding it at an elevated position as the front axel could break. Be WARNED!!! @@mr.c6674

  • @covertpuppytwo3857
    @covertpuppytwo3857 Před 10 měsíci +6

    That's awesome you got it repaired. I still think though from your original video... that the cable that runs to the axials should have connectors, so you don't have to go through all those steps including de-soldiering and then re-soldiering. Maybe in future versions of the Luba they'll take that into account. Since you had your Luba open though, I was wondering if you looked at the battery and how difficult it would be to swap that out? Any thoughts about that? Thanks for these videos, very educational.

    • @JustinsProject
      @JustinsProject  Před 10 měsíci +1

      I agree. A connector for the motors on the wheels would be great. I think changing out the battery would be cake work compared to this repair. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

  • @PKsiadz-vu5jd
    @PKsiadz-vu5jd Před 10 měsíci +1

    Luba is a really good thing. Servicing looks like in case of Mavic 2 pro. When I crashed my Mavic against a tree, I ordered parts, had to solder a bit too, but it still flies while on the ground Luba mows.

    well done , ordered my Luba (2) AWD 5000 this morning , wanted to see the internals just to see how repairable it is ( compared to my 10Y old RoboMow RS630 ) seems a bit more complex , when i did see a luba inside ( in the store ) i was surprised that the electronics PCB are not better protected , like the stuff you put on the connectors and wires , when i see my robo internals (example head of the docking station ) its all over the PCB board ( and still gives " problems " after many years of service )

      ​I think what happened was on the beta software they forgot to check the limit of the blade lift system. It kept going until it broke the underside and the braket with the gears. The beta unit has plugs for the wheels, so nothing to desolder for my tear down.

    I'm glad to see your video after the last one. I'm on the fence about buying one. I admire the engineers who designed it and from all reviews that I see, it functions admirably. I am concerned about negative reports about response to customers who are not social media influencers. That mower has how many motors? Four for the wheels. Two for the blades and probably another one for the height adjustment? I've read of someone who had one wheel stop working. Motor or board? Unfortunately it was a commenter and I'll never know how it was resolved. Sudden success brings about growing pains and I wish Mammotion well. I'm unsure if I want to risk buying version 1.1 though. Nice about the omni wheels. I'm surprised they didn't send those along to you just for the advertising.

    Thank You! I have a snapped rear axle and your video helped me a lot (except the 3 screws, lol). I just need the rear axle and sealant, and for support to respond to my requests. Everything else works. Rear axles just plug into the board, wonder why they did the front so we have to solder? Also what the heck is with that wire seal and all the sealant goop? Lastly, what is all the blue stuff in the axle screw holes? Probably lock tight but looks like corrosion.

      @@JustinsProject Thanks for your reply! I've received my 5000 by now and have a problem with the tilt switch triggering on my admittedly slightly steeper slope - at random points in time. The traction can clearly handle the slope, so I'd like to somehow disable that switch. Someone said it's in the front axle; did you notice anything? I don't want to take it completely apart if not necessary. Thanks!

    It's incredible the amount of things that need to be removed including pc boards just to replace an axle. Definitely not a do it yourself project for most. Couldn't the axle be made more user friendly to replace? Makes you think. Great job though..

    • @JustinsProject
      @JustinsProject  Před 10 měsíci

      I agree. A connection point somewhere in there that would eliminate the soldering and removing of the two boards should be something the manufacturer should look into. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

    How are they to deal with if you don't have a youtube channel though? (You said they reached out to you) They're not a cheap unit and it's not something you'd want to throw away if you can't get say a replacement wheel.

    Did your warranty expire when you broke the part? They wouldn't let a regular Joe shmo take apart Luba and service it under warranty, would they?

    I had that axle broken when I recieved my first Luba. It was probably damaged in delivery...
    They have picked it up and sent me a new one.
    Than my lift motor broke because there was a lot of grass and no space for lifting blades.. I had to replace lift motor and motherboard. They have sent me parts for free. (they also offered me that they will pick up luba and service it for me... I tought that replacing parts by my self is faster and easier for me than packing it.. I don't have original box anymore)
    Than I noticed that one of the rubber seals on the motor is already broken...
    But the worst thing is that it has NEVER finished my garden yet without my help. It needs to rescue, it needs just to click the continue button in my app couple times a day... I am very dissapointed with this product. The previous robot had much better construction. It could handle small branches, moles, cut under trampoline... This thing gets stuck almost everywhere :-(
    I wish they made wireless Robomow RS 630 with RTK, that would be best for my garden.
    I have to mention that 4200 square meters zone with really thick grass.... Yes I have prepared my garden and cut everythig with my tractor... My robomow usually worked weeks without need of any help. Only when some large branches felt or something unexpected happened I had to help the robomow.
    My neigbour has a husqvarna.. he turns it on on spring, turns it of on the end of season and does not have to do anything...

      Thank you for that feedback. After a couple of months of having Luba and mowing the max 1.25 acres with it, twice a week, I definitely have to go out and click buttons and assist Luba, very frequently. I have found it stuck in the middle of my backyard more than once. I have no idea why it got stuck or stopped mowing in those areas. When it works, it does a great job at helping with lawn care. But I agree, there are some adjustments needed to improve the overall user experience. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍

      @@JustinsProject exactly... I really hate it when it stops for "no reason" and it is waiting only to click continue button. Than it continues with no need to rescue, clean blades or anything... I hope that they will solve it with some software updates. It is only time to time when it really needs some real assistance.

    I can't believe Mammotion did not provide carrying handles on the unit. Duh. Also they didn't shape the Luba so it can be laid on its back with stability to service the blades. It has a rounded top! Duh again!

    Their customer service went above and beyond!?! Their customer service is non-existent!
    I purchased many extra sets of blades and a housing roof with my original purchase. They never sent to these extra parts. 2 months later I got an email saying my parts are on the way but they re used the same FedEx tracking number they use for my original Luba shipment. I let customer service know immediately... Six weeks later I got an email saying that they're busy and they'll get to me eventually. It's been another 2 months and I still haven't heard back from them!
