Mammotion LUBA 4 AWD · Stiga A 15v
All robot lawn mowers. Every measure below is plotted against the full class, so a difference can be read against how much the class itself varies.

01 Classification
What each one does on its own.
The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.
V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help

Runs preset routines, needs rescue
I
Manual

02 Assessment
Where they actually differ.
The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

03 Measured against the class
How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
These robots share no measured specification with enough published figures to plot. That is a gap in the record, not a finding about the robots.
04 Ownership
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Mammotion LUBA 4 AWD
The variant with the most ground to cover is the one that cannot fit the edge trimmer, so scale and finish are sold as alternatives rather than together.
Cloud-served RTK removes the base station the owner had to site and power, and moves the dependency to a network Mammotion has not mapped in public.
Stiga A 15v
Camera-plus-RTK positioning removes the wire and the RTK antenna’s clear-sky requirement, but deep shade and low-sun performance have no published record for this camera-led system.
Haus & Garten Test’s direct review calls the striped cut pattern optimal and complete, yet also recommends it specifically for smaller gardens, a narrower endorsement than its 16,146 sq ft rating implies.
Ten years of included connectivity removes a subscription obligation most 4G-connected mowers carry, though the machine is only five months into a field record too short to establish a reliability pattern.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Mammotion LUBA 4 AWD
- Buyers who need a price before committing
- Mammotion announced the series without pricing for any of the three variants. Preorders are said to open later in the year, and no ship date has been published.
- Owners buying the 12000F for its edge trimming
- The 12000F is the only variant that does not support the edge-trimming attachment, which is the feature the launch is built around. Buying the largest model forfeits it.
- Yards where a perimeter wire is required
- This is a wire-free machine with no wired boundary mode. An owner who needs a buried wire, for a shared boundary or an unmapped hazard, cannot configure one.
- Anyone who needs verified performance before purchase
- No independent testing of this machine exists. Every figure on this page traces to Mammotion or to trade-show reporting, and the trimming arm has not been shown working in third-party hands.
- Regions with thin network RTK coverage
- The positioning stack leans on a cloud correction service. Mammotion has not published which territories the free iNavi service covers, so navigation quality outside well-served regions is unknown.
Stiga A 15v
- Lawns over roughly 16,000 square feet
- The independent test recommends it specifically for smaller gardens, and the rated ceiling of 16,146 sq ft sits well under larger properties' actual needs in a single charge cycle.
- Deeply shaded yards or heavy tree cover
- Camera-led navigation has no published behavior for deep shade or low sun, and no independent record exists yet for how it performs when a camera is starved for light.
- Buyers wanting a proven multi-year reliability record
- Launched in March 2026, the field record runs under five months, and no independent failure pattern of any kind has had time to accumulate for this specific model.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Mammotion LUBA 4 AWD
- Weekly: Wipe the four navigation cameras and the LiDAR turret; soiled optics are the most common cause of degraded obstacle detection.
- Weekly: Clear grass packing from beneath the cutting deck and around the floating discs.
- Monthly: Inspect the edge-trimming arm pivot for debris and free movement, on the 3000F and 6000F.
- Seasonally: Replace the blade sets, six per disc, across two discs on the 3000F and 6000F or three on the 12000F.
- Seasonally: Check wheel tread and drive housings after the wet part of the mowing season.
- Annually: Store the pack charged and indoors over winter, and re-verify the map before the first spring cut.
Stiga A 15v
- Weekly: Clean the blades and check their efficiency, replacing any that are bent or worn (12-blade kit, art. 1127-0009-01); STIGA’s table sets this at weekly or every 50 operating hours.
- Weekly: Clean oxidation off the recharging contacts and wipe the camera module lens with a soft cloth only; brushes, scrapers and solvents scratch the glass.
- Monthly: Clean the whole mower with a sponge, lukewarm water and neutral soap (never a pressure jet), and have the charging base and power cables checked for wear; documented as monthly or every 100 operating hours.
- Annually: Carry out the servicing at an authorized service centre; STIGA states malfunctions traced to a skipped annual service are not covered under warranty.
- Seasonally: For winter, run the app’s hibernation wizard to register the pre-storage charge (required for the battery warranty), remove the safety key, and store the mower horizontal, dry and protected from ice; recharge at least every 6 months in storage.
- As needed: Battery replacement goes through STIGA technical assistance staff, not the owner; contact a service centre when working range shrinks.
05 Evidence
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
