Follow ups and customer oriented We all had some problems when we started using our S1 Snowblower. What I can tell you is that Yarbo staff are available and easy to reach, they offer quick service and replacement parts if needed.

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.

Many pros and some thing to work on The build quality is good. The packaging is great. The customer support is even better. The bad is the software. Issues with android app not working with default channel of wifi, I had to find an iphone to get that corrected. Need to use stainless steel screws on the output snow chute; I'm sure you all see the rust everywhere on that part. The throwing is weak and definitely have to remove the guard and sides in order to do any real work.

Very excited for this first time… Very excited for this first time invention. Top of the line quality and customer service. Needs to have the new invention troubles ironed out but they'll have it nailed in v2. Disclaimer that I was also a beta tester, the progress they made between beta to v1 was magical and impressive. Would recommend, too bad the price is too high for my friends and family.

Great team and looking forward to the journeyThis has been an awesome journey with… This has been an awesome journey with the Yarbo team. I bought in early because I saw the technology they were using and really believe in what they are trying to do. When I got my S1 unit, it really exceeded my expectations for performance. I only had a handful of opportunities to use it over the winter and oddly enough ran into one of the lights having a loose connection, the Yarbo team instantly said we have a whole new unit headed your way. The support has far surpassed what I hoped for. I really look forward to continuing this journey with this team!
