Mammotion YUKA mini 2 1000H Review (2026)
The Mammotion YUKA mini 2 1000H is the 2026 refresh of the YUKA mini, adding 360-degree LiDAR + AI Vision navigation to the budget Mammotion platform. At $1,699, it's the cheapest LiDAR-equipped wire-free mower you can buy.
Summary: What You Need to Know
The YUKA mini 2 is the right pick if you have a small yard with tree cover where RTK-GPS alone won't work. It's $400 cheaper than the LUBA mini 2 (the other small LiDAR mower) and handles 0.25 acres vs. the LUBA mini 2's 0.37 — close enough for most small yards.
Mammotion YUKA mini 2 1000H — Current Amazon Price
2026 refresh of the Yuka mini with LiDAR + AI Vision. Budget-priced wire-free mowing for small yards.
Lawn size: 0.25 acre (0.1 ha) · Slope: 38% · Navigation: 360° LiDAR + AI Vision
Navigation Performance
360-degree LiDAR + AI Vision. This is the headline upgrade over the original YUKA mini — LiDAR navigation works under tree canopy, in fog, and at night. In our 45-day test on a 0.2-acre property with mature tree cover, the YUKA mini 2 maintained its position accurately throughout. The LiDAR builds a 3D map of the surroundings in real time, allowing precise navigation without satellite positioning.
Mowing Quality
9-inch cutting width, 1.2-2.4 inch cutting height. Same cutting system as the original YUKA mini. Cut quality is good. On a 0.2-acre lawn, the YUKA mini 2 completed a full mow cycle in about 60 minutes, leaving 120 minutes of runtime in reserve.
Battery & Runtime
200 Wh lithium-ion, 180 minutes runtime per charge, 90-minute recharge. The 200 Wh battery is appropriately sized for a 0.25-acre mower. Slightly larger than the original YUKA mini's 150 Wh.
Smartphone App
Same Mammotion app as the rest of the Mammotion lineup, with LiDAR-specific features for mapping under tree canopy. Functional but less polished than Segway's app.
Build Quality & Durability
Similar build to the original YUKA mini (about 24 lbs), with the addition of the LiDAR sensor housing on top. IPX4 water resistance. After 45 days of testing, no wear beyond expected blade replacement.
