I was looking at the increase in efficiency of a TerraMow shuttle turn over a Luba 1. In a smallish yard, the Luba might turn 100 times at 8 seconds a turn. That's 13 minutes.

In comparison, since the TerraMow has 3 discs instead of 2, it would make roughly 2/3 the turns or 67. The video demo indicates an approximately 4 second shuttle turn for 4.5 minutes.

So you are saving 9 minutes over a small, square lawn. Not very significant.

When the borders are added in, it's hard to say how well a huge mower with turning wheels would do over the Luba 1. Better I would hope.

People with thin, sickly lawns will prefer the turning wheels of the TerraMow over the Luba.

Maybe available in Belorus?

Unusual comparison, but good detail.

Torture test!

NOT a complimentary review

Doesn't use EGO batteries? Not AWD? No LiDAR? Europe only?

Yet another Kickstarter mower.

Emile Francois Edouard Cordonnier was married to Lucie Sophie Van Dorpe sometime around 1895 - possibly in Nord, France. It could also have been in neighboring areas or even Belgium.

I found one of their children's birth records in Lille, Madeleine Ernestine (B: 17 Aug 1896). Her marriage indicated she had a brother Emile born about 1899. Another daughter was reportedly born about 1902 named Raymonde. She's the one directly related to the person I'm trying to help.

Filae has a curious entry for Lucie Sophie Van Dorpe in 1901 in Nord that references a birth. I'm HOPING that's Raymonde's birth. Could someone with a subscription to Filae provide the commune involved or any other details about Emile or Raymonde? Or the marriage of Cordonnier and Van Dorpe?

Thanks!

So I was experimenting today with the drop-mow feature to see exactly how much I can push it. And I found it's basically unlimited with just a little bit of work.

My back yard is 1.25 acres and my front yard is 1.25 acres. So I can only map my backyard with the Luba 3. But if I take it into the front yard, it will completely mow the front yard 1.25 acres using the drop-mow feature.

The only thing is it won't return to charge automatically. So when I get the notification that its battery is low and it's going to the park point I go outside and manually drive it to the charger and when it's done charging, I just manually drive it back to the front yard and hit continue.

Rinse and repeat Mow as much as you want!

More details have been revealed for the upcoming editing features this year. I've found the live map showing greenery to be cool-looking, but not very useful on my TerraMow.

The editing has long been needed though.

Fairly good review

Yet another mower - presumably for the European market - the Natural Expressions Performance 7. Looks like it's vision guided. Somewhat similar to TerraMow/Eufy.

The main takeaway I got from skimming through this video was mention of a new way of editing boundaries that wouldn't be available until mid-2026. It sounds like you will be able to edit on the app. Much needed, if true.
