One of the most common objections I hear about robot lawn mowers is simple:
“It doesn’t collect the cut grass.”
After reviewing and using the Mammotion Luba 2 for a long time, I can understand that perspective—especially if your lawn gets covered in leaves during autumn. The Luba 2 shreds leaves and mulches clippings, but if you have a big tree above your lawn, sometimes there’s simply too much material to leave behind.
That’s where the Mammotion Yuka with Lawn Sweeper comes in.
This is a wire-free robot lawn mower that not only mows, but also sweeps up grass clippings and leaves, collects them in a bin, and then dumps them automatically at a designated dumping spot.

What You Get in the Box
Mammotion sent me two boxes:
- Mammotion Yuka robot mower
- Lawn Sweeper kit (optional accessory)
Yuka box contents (highlights)
- Charging base components + power supply
- RTK antenna system (rods + antenna + tripod)
- Spare blades and accessories
- The Yuka mower itself (robust and bigger than the Luba 2)
A key difference versus the Luba 2:
- Yuka = 3 wheels (2 large rear wheels + 1 rotating front wheel)
- Luba 2 = 4 wheels
The Yuka also includes forward and upward cameras (the upward camera can even be used as a garden security camera).
Lawn Sweeper kit contents
- Collection net + lid + rods and mounting hardware
- Sweeper module that collects leaves and clippings
- Extra battery (required to power the sweeper)
- Counterweight to prevent tipping when the bin fills up
Wire-Free Navigation: RTK + 3D Vision + LoRa
Just like the Luba 2, the big advantage is no perimeter wire.
The Yuka uses:
- RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) GPS positioning
- 3D vision to keep working even under trees
- LoRa connection between mower and RTK station
WiFi is helpful for app connectivity and updates, but the Yuka can keep working even if WiFi drops, because navigation relies on RTK + LoRa.
App Features and Lawn Mapping
Setup includes driving the mower along the edges of your lawn using the app (like an RC car) to define mowing areas.
In the app you can create:
- Areas
- No-Go Zones
- Channels (to move between zones)
- Schedules and mowing patterns
- Dumping spots (where the Yuka drops collected material)
You can choose mow-only, sweep-only, or mow + sweep tasks.
Real-World Mowing & Sweeping Results
The mowing quality is excellent—and the Lawn Sweeper is genuinely impressive.
It sweeps up:
- grass clippings
- leaves
- debris
Then, after mowing a configured area, the Yuka drives to the dumping spot and drops the collected material. For lawns under trees, this can save a lot of time during autumn cleanup.
My one concern: small bare spots
Because the sweeper is so thorough, I noticed small bare spots appearing in a few places. It’s still unclear whether:
- those spots were already there (previous clippings hid them), or
- the sweeper is removing too much
I adjusted the schedule to mow every 6 days to see how the lawn recovers over time.
Downsides
- Initial WiFi pairing can be frustrating (similar to my Luba 2 experience)
- Dumping spot needs space, which may be harder in small gardens
- The sweeper doesn’t detect small objects like dog poop (so always check the lawn)
Price
This is a premium robot mower, but the value depends on your needs:
- Yuka 1500: €1699 / $1399 (without sweeper)
With sweeper: €2198 / $2048 - Yuka 2000: €1999 / $1699 (without sweeper)
With sweeper: €2498 / $2348
Final Verdict
If you love wire-free robot mowing but want something that actually collects leaves and clippings, the Mammotion Yuka with Lawn Sweeper is one of the most interesting robot mowers I’ve tested.
For me, with autumn approaching and a large tree above my lawn, the ability to sweep and dump is the reason I’m switching from the Luba 2 to the Yuka.
