The official Mammotion 4G service costs around €19.90 per year (~CHF 20-25). This price comes directly from the manufacturer itself and also applies to the Yuka mini 600.
Yes, you can set a schedule for the robot lawnmower and also control it manually via the app. The app allows you to manage up to 10 user-defined zones, each with its own schedule and mowing pattern, so you can specify exactly when and where it mows. You can also start the robot lawnmower by voice command via Alexa or Google Home. This gives you full control and allows you to make sure there are no toys or obstacles on the lawn before each mowing session.
The "Yuka mini 600 (600 m², without boundary wire)" version is equipped with an integrated 4G module including SIM card. Mammotion generally provides a free 1-month 4G service for this 4G functionality.
The integrated SIM card is valid throughout Europe, so you can also use the robot lawnmower in Austria via 4G. It is currently not possible to change the SIM card yourself.
The device does not need to be permanently connected to Wi-Fi or 4G; the connection is mainly required for commissioning, mapping and control via the app. The robot lawnmowers use an app for setup and management, including automatic mapping and multi-zone management, which requires a Wi-Fi connection. An integrated 4G module is not included as standard, but can be added as an option with a 4G bundle. The robot lawnmower then works autonomously without a permanent internet connection.
The lawn must be at least wide enough for the robot lawnmower to drive through with its cutting width of 19 cm. As the robot is compact and specially designed for small gardens, it can also negotiate narrow passages well. A minimum width of around 20 cm is therefore required so that the robot can mow without any problems.
I also have a zone on a different level in the garden without direct access from the station. I just have to carry the mower there and then start it manually.
You can easily do the service yourself. Brush the bottom a little and replace the blades every 100 hours. For better performance, we recommend replacing the blades after 50 hours. You can even change the battery yourself. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver. The robot will last for several years and then needs to be replaced anyway (after approx. 5 years).
The main differences between the Yuka Mini 600 and the Yuka Mini 800 are the maximum mowing area, the battery life, the number of manageable zones and the charging time.
- Maximum mowing area: The Yuka Mini 600 is suitable for up to 600 m², the Yuka Mini 800 for up to 800 m² or even 1200 m² according to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Battery life: The Yuka Mini 600 mows for up to 55 minutes per charge, the Yuka Mini 800 for up to 150 minutes.
- Charging time: The Yuka Mini 600 takes around 90 minutes to charge, the Yuka Mini 800 around 230 minutes.
- Manageable zones: The Yuka Mini 600 can manage up to 5 zones, the Yuka Mini 800 up to 10 zones.
- Cutting height is the same for both models (20-60 mm), but there are also H versions with a higher cutting height.
To summarise, the Yuka Mini 800 is more powerful and suitable for larger areas with longer mowing times and more zones, while the Yuka Mini 600 is more compact and designed for smaller gardens up to 600 m².
If a Wi-Fi connection is available on the site, there are no additional costs for RTK or similar services to operate the robot lawnmower. The robot lawnmower uses UltraSense AI Vision for precise mapping and navigation without a boundary wire, which means no additional charges for position corrections. It is conveniently controlled via the Mammotion app or voice commands, without the need for additional paid services.
Yes, the app supports controlling the robot lawnmower from multiple mobiles, so you can connect and operate the robot with different devices.
Regarding the chicken fence: The robot lawnmower has 3D vision obstacle detection, which automatically recognises obstacles. If you move the fence every fortnight, the robot should recognise it as an obstacle without you having to manually mark it as an obstacle in the app. A boundary wire is not required as the robot works without a boundary wire and recognises obstacles using its sensors.
The robot lawnmower can mow the lawn in parallel lines as it has advanced AI navigation and auto-mapping. These functions enable precise and even lawn care.
The Yuka mini 600 (600 m², Without boundary wire) has a built-in 4G module that allows you to control and track it remotely via the app. You will receive one year of free 4G data as standard upon purchase.
Note: In your in-house product data, the 4G module is not explicitly mentioned, but according to the manufacturer's official product information, this feature is present.
Operation of the RTK antenna itself is free of charge. However, when using 4G services for NetRTK technology, which is optional, there may be costs for data transmission. These costs depend on the tariffs of the supplier that Mammotion offers.
It is possible to clean the underside of the robot lawnmower with a water spray, but care should be taken not to damage any internal components. It is recommended to stand the robot on end and use a garden sprayer to prevent damage. You can later integrate the robot lawnmower into Google Home as it supports smart home functions, including Google Home.
The robot can drive over an asphalt path without mowing if it is correctly programmed and marked in the app as an obstacle or zone without mowing. UltraSense AI Vision enables the robot to recognise and avoid obstacles, which can include driving over asphalt paths without mowing as long as they are defined as such.
