What to do next

  1. Check your regional Mammotion store for confirmed dates: the LUBA 4 AWD was announced at IFA 2026 (early September) but is not shipping yet, pre-orders are expected in Q4 2026 per the US blog, and availability may be regionally restricted or time-sequenced.

    More about this step

    Applies when: you are considering a LUBA 4 AWD.

    Worked if: you know whether you can actually buy one yet, rather than reading a global announcement as availability.

    Didn't work? Next: step 2 — Compare the announced changes against what you have now:...

    Method: Mammotion's US blog and its own product page, both cited on this page

  2. Compare the announced changes against what you have now: Quad-Vision plus 360° LiDAR plus NetRTK, independent front-wheel steering so it arcs rather than pivoting, bidirectional driving, slope rating to 80%, and the optional edge-trimming module that the 12000F cannot take.

    Applies when: you are deciding whether to wait for one, or whether the tank-turn behaviour on your current model is worth replacing.

    Worked if: you can tell whether the difference matters for your lawn before deciding.

    Applies when: you have ordered one, or you have one in hand.

    Worked if: the page stops being an announcement and starts carrying owner experience.

This is an announcement page, not a review or fault guide. The LUBA 4 AWD has been announced but is not yet shipping. Mammotion's US blog states pre-orders are expected Q4 2026, but market availability may be regionally restricted or time-sequenced. Check your regional Mammotion store for confirmed dates. Pricing has not been publicly confirmed. We'll update this page as real-world owner reports arrive.

What happened

Mammotion announced the LUBA 4 AWD at IFA Berlin 2026 (early September 2026) as the company's new flagship robotic mower line, positioned above the current LUBA 3 AWD in coverage, navigation, and drivetrain capability2. The product page is live on Mammotion's site1.

When a US owner asked in October when the LUBA 4 would be on sale there, a Mammotion staff account answered on 17 October that it had no confirmed information on when the product would be available for purchase. It pointed to Mammotion's website and to local dealers for updates3.

Three models

The LUBA 4 AWD has been announced in three coverage variants1, 2:

Model Coverage Discs
LUBA 4 AWD 3000F up to 3,000 m² (¾ acre) Double 165W discs
LUBA 4 AWD 6000F up to 6,000 m² (1½ acres) Double 165W discs
LUBA 4 AWD 12000F up to 12,000 m² (3 acres) Triple 165W discs

Each disc runs a 165W motor with 6 blades1. Mammotion describes the motor as variable-speed: higher RPM for thick grass, lower RPM for quieter operation and extended battery life1.

What's new versus the LUBA 3 AWD

The key additions announced are:

Quad-Vision + 360° LiDAR + NetRTK positioning. The LUBA 4 AWD combines four wide-angle cameras ("Quad-Vision"), 360° LiDAR, and NetRTK for navigation and obstacle detection1, 2. The LUBA 3 AWD already had 360° LiDAR, NetRTK and dual-camera AI vision; the LUBA 4 expands the cameras to four wide-angle ones2.

Independent front-wheel steering. Each front wheel has its own steering motor, allowing the mower to turn through a rolling arc rather than pivoting in place1. Mammotion says this avoids brown rings and visible tracks, a direct response to the tank-turn feedback that has been a community concern across the LUBA 2 and LUBA 3 lines.

Bidirectional driving system. Using front and rear cameras alongside the independent steering, the mower can reverse direction without a U-turn1. No pivot pressure, no bald patches, per Mammotion's description.

Adaptive suspension and terrain capability. Rated for slopes up to 80% (38.6°), 60 mm (2½ in) obstacle crossing, and mowing speeds up to 1.0 m/s (2¼ mph)1, 2. The drivetrain uses all-wheel drive with active steering and "intelligent torque control per wheel."

Optional edge-trimming module. An additional edge-cutting module can be purchased separately for the 3000F and 6000F1, 2. The 12000F is explicitly listed as incompatible.

210W fast charger with adaptive charge-and-resume. The charger calculates remaining area, charges just enough to finish, then resumes automatically1.

Mammotion also announced Maston, a commercial-grade robotic mower, alongside the LUBA 4 at IFA Berlin.

No known issues to report at present. For full specifications and availability, see the LUBA 4 AWD overview.

If you've pre-ordered a LUBA 4 AWD and can share your order confirmation, expected delivery date, or early impressions when it arrives, let us know.
