Great product. Hoping it will evolve to be an Excellent product. Seems like a well built product. Packaged nicely and with great customer support. Had an initial battery issue that took about 4 weeks to resolve. But I’m happy with the result. Also had connectivity issues which led to a main body replacement. It arrived in about 5 days. Have been pretty good since then. Customer service is top notch!

Agreed with most of the comments Agreed with most of the comments, great support service, unit is well build, but quality still need to be improved, I had a S1 unit replaced, the new S1 has only been used once in the snow and now one side of the front left is off, I'm planning to pay for the upgrade so didn't bother to file a service call. The software definately needs to be improve, can't fine tune boundary map after it is drawn, software update not successful all the times. Hoping to get the lawn mower soon, but now we have to wait longer with the upgrade plan, please make us worth all the waiting! Overall it's not a bad experience, watching it blowing snow is fun, and to show my wife that I'm not wasting money for nothing. Keep up with the good works Yarbo team!

Kickstarter Project on a Promising Path tl;dr: Kickstarter project faced delays, but delivered an impressive first phase. Still waiting to see two more. I backed Yarbo on Kickstarter because of the modular design (snow blowing in the winter, grass mowing in the summer) and the use of GPS + RTK for mapping (as opposed to requiring perimeter wires). So far only the snow blower (S1) module has been delivered. But it exceeded my expectations. It did a surprisingly good job of working within the limited spaces where it is safe to throw snow around my driveway. I was impressed with the path planning and how well it navigated. The less harsh weather and more predictable nature of slow growing grass gives me optimism that the lawn mowing (M1) will run smoothly. But it will still be a few months before the module is delivered. Out of the 3 modules offered during the Kickstarter campaign, I have the lowest expectations for the leaf blower (B1). As of March 2024 (15+ months after the campaign ended), I have seen no updates on development efforts for this module. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not counting on much for this one. Other reviews have mentioned that the software does not feel fully complete and I will generally agree with that. But I have been impressed with the impact of the updates. There have already been significant improvements in the mapping process and the connection reliability. This gives me hope that things will continue to improve. Overall I've been very impressed with the Yarbo team's commitment to delivering a capable product. The delays have been frustrating, but it was clear when the first module was delivered that it had benefited from the additional testing and enhancements. There is still a long way to go with two more modules to deliver from the Kickstarter campaign and I'm looking forward to seeing them in action.

Rough start but getting better They are a growing tech company that have had their share of growing pains. Over the last few years their transparency and support systems have vastly improved and their products are well built. I'm excited to see them continue to grow as the product has a lot of promise.

I was a kickstarter backer. I was a kickstarter backer. I have had nothing but success with the Yarbo. Full disclosure: only able to use the S1 unit twice this winter due to lack of snowfall; however, the Yarbo has handled both masterfully. It throws snow and scrapes the driveway as well as any man-piloted snowblower unit. For the Yarbo company, they have been supportive and provides immediate responses (within 24 hours) to inquiries. For example, my original Yarbo unit had difficulties finding GPS. Yarbo kept in constant communication and even provided a new unit free of charge. The new unit works phenomenally. I recommend the unit to all friends and family. Some notes: the first time setup is a bit difficult and tedious taking multiple hours and involves tasks not suitable for everyone like hammering stakes and mounting an antenna on the roof. Also, there's connection issues if you do not have a proper wifi setup (I use a Mesh system to cover my entire lot). Overall, very happy with the purchase and feel supported by the company.
