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!

Outstanding Customer Service! Outstanding customer service is what this company is all about. Any issue with the unit is quickly addressed and remedied. Yarbo should be an example to all companies for their superior service.

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!

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.

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.
