Mammotion YUKA mini 2 1000

A LiDAR-and-camera mower with no RTK at all, the lowest quoted noise here (57 dB) and a fully published cutting deck: 19 cm wide, 20–60 mm. Mammotion separates the 1,000 m² rating from a 1,600 m² daily maximum.

Review

What this product is

Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.

The YUKA mini 2 1000 suits mid-sized lawns with moderate slopes, especially where tall trees or buildings would block satellite reception, because it navigates with 360° LiDAR and AI vision and needs neither RTK nor a base station. Mammotion publishes 1,000 m² as the model rating and separately says it can cover 1,600 m² a day over multiple charges; one charge lasts about 2.5 hours and covers roughly 250 m².

The datasheet is fuller than most: 190 mm cutting width, 20–60 mm cutting height, 45% (24°) slopes, a 6.1 Ah battery, IPX6 for the mower and IP67 for the LiDAR module, and a quoted 57 dB. A rain sensor sends it back to the dock in heavy rain. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are standard; 4G is an optional module with three years of data included. The warranty is three years. The EU store showed 75 reviews, 60 of them five-star.

What is missing: no independent test was found, the 57 dB figure is not labelled as guaranteed sound power, charging time and weight were not stated, and there is no theft-protection feature described on the page. The €1,099 price was reduced from €1,299.

Component scores

Where the score
comes from.

Four components, equal weight, each on a 0–10 scale and each resting on a named source. The overall score is their mean — the full procedure is in the methodology.

  1. Composition and specification8.0

    Declared composition and specification: active ingredients and their concentrations, energy classes, standards, technical parameters — and what the manufacturer leaves unsaid.

  2. Evidence and studies4.5

    Verification of the manufacturer's claims against outside sources: laboratory reports, industry testing, safety data sheets, certificates and regulatory decisions.

  3. Owner feedback8.2

    Analysis of verified reviews written after extended use, together with recurring fault reports for the model or series.

  4. Cost and value8.2

    Price set against what the product actually delivers, plus costs incurred later — consumables, energy, servicing, subscriptions — over the lifespan typical for the category.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the YUKA mini 2 1000 work under trees?

It does not rely on satellite RTK: Mammotion states it navigates with 360° LiDAR and AI vision and needs no base station, which removes the usual weak point of RTK mowers under dense canopy. No independent test confirming this was found.

Is 4G included?

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are standard. 4G is listed as an optional module that comes with three years of free data.
