## What reviewers found

### Lymow One

- Yanko Design: Tested on a yard with 32 oak trees. About one hour from unboxing to first mow, mapped 6,778 sq ft, and a full mow took about 178 to 185 minutes. It climbed a 6 in stump, threw a track on a 6 in curb and recovered, and stopped quickly for a foot in its path. Cut matched a walk behind mower on St. Augustine grass.

- Freshly Charged: One week of backyard testing on a pre production unit. Cleared 2 in obstacles and small steps, never got stuck and left clean stripes in long grass. Noticeably louder than rivals (68 dB on the spec sheet) and hard to move at 77.6 lb. [Source](https://freshlycharged.com/reviews/364/2024-lymow-one-review)

### Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD

- TechRadar (Performance 5/5, Value 4/5): Tested the LUBA 3 AWD 3000: simple setup, reliable scheduling and docking, professional looking stripes; front wheels damaged grass in shade during zero turns and the app was glitchy. Called it highly recommended. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/small-appliances/mammotion-luba-3-awd-3000-review)
- Gear Diary (4.5/5): Tested the 3000: drove itself between two lawn sections split by a driveway; obstacle avoidance missed a rubber hose on the low setting; no grass damage seen. [Source](https://geardiary.com/2026/06/23/mammotion-luba-3-awd-review/)
