Mammotion sells two LiDAR mowers for smaller lawns, and both skip the RTK antenna entirely. The LUBA mini 2 AWD is the hill climber with all-wheel drive. The YUKA mini 2 1000H is the lighter-duty, lower-priced option for flatter yards. Here is how they compare using only Mammotion’s official US product pages.

The three differences that matter
1. Slope. This is the big one. The LUBA mini 2 states 80% (38.6°); the YUKA mini 2 states 45% (24°), and Mammotion’s own FAQ describes the YUKA as being for “relatively flat lawns.” If any part of your lawn is steeper than about 35%, the YUKA would be running within 10 points of its limit there, which is where we’d expect trouble, especially when the grass is wet. Not sure how steep your yard is? Our yard sizing calculator explains how to estimate it.
2. Size and layout. The LUBA mini 2 is rated for 0.37 acre and 20 zones; the YUKA for 0.25 acre and 10 zones. On the other hand, the YUKA fits through narrower gaps (21.7 in vs 27 in), which can matter for side-yard passages between a house and a fence.
3. Edges and cut height. The LUBA mini 2 adds a dedicated edge disc that Mammotion says cuts to about 2.1 in from walls, and its High Version mows up to 4.0 in, useful for cool-season grasses kept tall. The YUKA page doesn’t give an edge distance, and its range tops out at 3.5 in.
Price per rated acre (our math)
Using the prices above: LUBA mini 2 AWD High Version = $1,799 ÷ 0.37 acre ≈ $4,862 per acre (Standard $1,999 ≈ $5,403). YUKA mini 2 1000H = $1,399 ÷ 0.25 acre ≈ $5,596 per acre. So per rated acre, the LUBA mini 2 High Version actually costs less when checked, even though its sticker is $400 higher. Sale prices change often, so check both pages before buying.
Which one fits (our read of the specs)
Pick the LUBA mini 2 AWD if your lawn has slopes, is between 0.25 and 0.37 acre, has many separate zones, or you want tidy edges along walls and beds. Built-in 4G with three years of data also means it stays connected where your Wi-Fi doesn’t reach.
Pick the YUKA mini 2 if your lawn is flat (or gently sloped), 0.25 acre or less, has tight passages, and you want the lowest noise rating and the lower upfront price.
Lawn bigger than 0.37 acre or seriously hilly? Look at the LUBA 3 AWD vs Navimow X4 comparison. For flat small yards on a tighter budget, the Anthbot Genie roundup covers a sub-$1,000 option, and the 2026 shortlist puts every model side by side. New to LiDAR versus RTK? Start with wire-free vs boundary-wire mowers.
