CAGreat and getting better I’ve had my Yarbo since December, and am located near Montreal, Quebec, Canada. While we did not get as much snow as usual, I did have several opportunities to try it out. What I can honestly say is that for the first production run of the Yarbo+S1 unit, the build quality is impressive, and the company’s commitment to supporting the product and customers is far beyond my expectations. The product is not perfect, but several firmware and app updates have definitely improved it. It struggles with very heavy and wet snow, much like my electric SnowJoe snow blower does. Otherwise, it clears snow very, very well. It can clear snow all the way to my pavement with little to no snow left. I’ve had some issues with network connectivity and GPS/RTK positioning, but I realized that my placement of the RTK antenna was less than ideal and will be moving it to get better results. The app and firmware improvements have me confident that I will not need to renew my snow removal contract next winter. Keep up the GREAT work Yarbo team! I’m very impressed with this product and have many jealous neighbors! Can’t wait to receive the upcoming M1 and continue to play with my Yarbo!

CAAgreed 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!

GBYarbo: Trust, Communication & Compromise I truly believe that this product is on the bleeding edge of autonomous consumer products. Even with the connectivity issues, hardware iterations, and software defects I believe it’s a product worth investing in. I purchased all three attachments and the main unit early on during the kickstarter campagin, and waited (albeit impatiently) like most did. The Main body, and S1 snow blower came just 3 weeks before the first big storm here in the Midwest. My initial experience was above average based on the community feedback, and with Yarbo’s initial performance, it became clear that as long as the company continues to iterate this will become an exceptional product, ecosystem and experience. I’ve already purchased the next generation of hardware through their buy back program and will begin the wait to see the next gen improvements. The product, engineering and CS organizations have earned my trust. I am optimistic that they will continue to impress.

CAIf you want it done right If you want it done right, then choose Yarbo! Fantastic product, and love all the different modules. Thanks for saving my back from snow shoveling, and for a delightful experience!

GBI think that my Yarbo product is well made. I think that my Yarbo product is well made with excellent customer service. There are some first generation issues that required software updates to resolve or improve. I still have issues with blowing wet snow as it gets clogged in the discharge chute much more than my gas driven snow blower. Overall, I am happy with this product and can't wait to see it cut my lawn.
