    i got mine from Eir last year as they were the only company on the list of compatible sims. I throw €10 into it every few months to keep it live. Maybe every 3 months. I don't connect remotely too often anyway. If there are issues when away there is not a lot you can do remotely.

    Hi everyone,

    415x getting left wheel drive problem, the wheel is shaking when I touch it and the nut is tight. I can't even the nut off with my impact gun. Any ideas?

    Hi Folks,

    My existing ride on mower is bricked(15 years old), I have a lawn size of 1800m2. I have 2 options open to me..

    Luba 2 looks good, but think i can only get it online. Local dealer has a Navimow H3000, has advised that very little between it and the Navimow x3.. Not much difference between Luba 2 or Navimow H3000 pricewise…

    Garden is very flat but maybe making it slightly bigger in future.

    Any advise which one to pick?

    Hi

    In same position as you. There is now a luba2 3000x for 2025. Have a look on there website. 2.5k for it but only thing to be aware of is when you need it. Lysters athlone worth a phonecall, they have stock arriving at some stage over next few weeks.

    I'm very happy with my Luba2. I will have 1 year in May. My lawn is flat and ~1300m2 in total.

    I have a luba 2 since last April. So far so good. Back out now after winter with afresh set of blades. It gives a lovely finish to the lawn. People dont believe me when I tell them the robot put the stripes on the lawn.

    Im sure there are a few of last years models floating around. Coughlans garden equipment seems to have a few online.

    Id nearly wait for new model availability if you could.

    Yeah, the big upgrade over last year is the motors. 2x is as powerful as a cordless push mower. It will be helpful for our wet cutting season

    I haven't seen much about the Segway Navimow i105E, it represents the top of my budget..entry level wireless mower.

    IF there's another option for that price I'd also be interested, but most others seem to be pushing €1.5k

    I saw somebody had one towards the end of last year but hadn't used it enough at that point to fully asses.

    Background:

    I currently have a flymo Easilife 150 wired mower and I'm possible unlucky but getting frustrated with weak signals, signal breaks. having to pull up or just replace a large section of wire as I can't find the issue even after buying signal detectors off amazon, crawling around the garden with them.

    I started up this week and issue with the signal wire, I've already given up on the front garden as a fault there i couldn't find so just closed the loop at the back garden for now.

    That's the background as to why I want wireless. Looked at getting another charging station out front to have 2 loops and reduce lenght of wire the signal has to pass through but coudln't get anywhere.

    In short I'm looking for an easylife, not an easilife! I paid €390 for the Easilife from Amazon warehouse so could probably get a decent chunk of that back.

    I have the Navimow i108. Sam as the 105 but with a bigger battery I believe.

    Bought it late last year. No issues to date and have it back out since the start of March.

    Easy to set up and edit boundaries etc.

    Cant fault it. Just make sure your satellite receiver has a clear view of the sky and the base station is located close by.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,336 ✭✭✭✭KCross


    The wire they give must be poor quality or you have animals digging it or something. I've my Husqvarna wire down over 10yrs and not a single break or issue with it.

    So my LUBA 2 has come out from its first hibernation last weekend. I am so impressed that it was still 100% charged after nearly 3 months away. It then performed perfectly from the instant of turning it on and then sending back out working. I have never have an autonomous before, so was expecting it to need charging all day and then re mapping the lawn. But it was impressive to see it work away, as if it had just been turned off for an hour.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,895 ✭✭✭mp3ireland2


    I'm very jealous! I had to buy third party wire as my lawn was bigger but both the Flymo wire and the other wire give me grief! When it's working i'm very happy with it but just got too frustrated with the issues!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,895 ✭✭✭mp3ireland2


    Thank you.

    Do you have a front and back? I have a gate that i'd have to leave open to do the front. I understand when set up you leave a path between the two. Could I leave the gate open at the weekend and specifiy to do the front bit? Or carry it out the front and let it do the front?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 484 ✭✭Dozz


    No I don't have a front and back but my back garden is divided into 2 separate areas.

    I have it moving from one to the other using a defined channel (very easy to set up in the app).

    So it will cut one side totally then move onto the other side via the channel and cut that side.

    When finished mower goes back to the base via the channel too.

    Hope that makes sense???

    I have an older gardenia model currently relaying cables. Cable layed, Plugged it in and circuit went green. I had left extra cable on all sides of the circuit, just in case i need to move the charger later. I tided up the eztra cable by looping it into a little circle and ziptie it off. Each side and ground wire seperate and not touching. But circuit is blue now. Have i messed up the electrical circuit by doing this or is it just a connector issue?

    I invested in the Navimow i105E. I purchased from Tirlán Farmlife. I couldn't find any discount code but guessed "WELCOME10" this 10% discount brought it down to €989.11 delivered.

    Ordered Friday, arrived this morning. Waitied until it was delivered before sharing discount code in case a load of people used it and it messed up my order 😀Tested code this morning and still working.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 83 ✭✭aireng


    I've just bought a luba 2 5000X has anyone else got one, how long did it take to arrive? Are they happy with it? Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,363 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    I was talking to a friend over the weekend whos has a huskvarna from 2021 (not sure what model) and the smart functionality stopped working last year. The service place replaced the gsm board last week and "it wouldn't register" so he said next step was to send it to Dublin.

    Like @ongarite , I suspected it's to do with the 3g shut down, she was going to follow up with him today, but I suspect there won't be anything that can be done other than let it operate as a "dumb mower"

    If it is a 3g shutdown issue, it seems mad to me that huskvarna aren't informing their services places about it.

    Where did you buy it from out of interest? I've been trying to buy from the official site but haven't been able to complete the checkout process before it shows out of stock



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 83 ✭✭aireng


    I checked it Sunday morning on here https://eu.mammotion.com/products/luba-2-awd-robot-lawn-mower?variants=48724545732885&variant=48724545732885 and it showed in stock. Went to buy it but as soon as I put in my Irish address it would say no stock. Tried again Monday morning and it let me buy it, in my rush I forget to add the €50 off code. I messaged them and they said once it arrives they'll send me a free set of blades instead. They said it'll arrive before the end of march. The order is just showing as paid at the moment. It seems the next availability might be in April. Put your email in the notify me box and they should let you know. Retailers seem to be about €500 more than the website but you get drop in service with them.

    I have the notifications set up and I've gotten the email a few times but every time I try to order I get the cannot be delivered to this address error.

    I was on to their chat and they directed me to the resellers. I may need to go down that route but as you say it's €500 more expensive. I'll wait it out a bit and see if there's any more drops in the next while.

    Hi All

    Well my 4 year old Ambrogio 25 elite has stopped working after latest update.I know I know I shouldn't have Updated but I did and don't know how to go back.

    Anyway I'm pretty fed up with it and thinking of going wireless.Any thoughts on the Navimow I 105e.

    The yuka mini 600 looks to good to be true for 200 euro less.And if there is problems with shipping from Mammotion that 200 euro won't look so tempting.

    Any thoughts?
