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.

Great 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!

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.

If 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!

My robot was well made and high… My robot was well made and high quality. Support was responsive when I contacted them. Software needs work but since it's software, I hope it gets better overtime. The price of the robot and the accessories are way too high.
