GBMany 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.

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!

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.

GBKickstarter 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.
