YarboReviews of yarbo.com

Absolute trash fire. Product has never worked. Got it in 2023 from Kickstarter. The yarbo people came here for 6 hours trying to get it to work a year ago and couldn't. Now they offer tech support but only available 1 am to 4 am. Ridiculous. Highly recommend to stay away from this company. It's a money grab piece of trash.

My yarbo broke down and they have no solution for 2 weeks+ I suggest not buying it. I sent 15 emails and 5 calls.

Since receiving the Yarbo snow blower/blade unit, I’ve rarely been able to complete a full cycle of the work program. The unit performs decently at first, but after the initial run, it needs a recharge that takes over 3.5 hours. Recently, it hasn’t even been able to reach a full 100% charge. I submitted a ticket for this issue, but it’s still unresolved. The support team claims they can’t connect to the unit on their end because it appears offline, yet it shows as online when I check remotely. I’ve power-cycled both the unit and the data center multiple times, but the issue persists. The charging issues continue with the battery levels fluctuating unpredictably—sometimes displaying 100% after days of charging, while at other times dropping as low as 86%. This inconsistency means that by the time the unit is ready to operate again, conditions have often changed. Either the temperature rises, making the snow too soft and causing the chute to clog, or more snow accumulates than the unit can handle, leaving it stuck and ineffective. When using the blade, it works fine for short runs, but on longer 200' runs, anything over 2–3 inches of snow causes it to get stuck. In the past, this would result in the unit losing connection entirely, forcing me to send it back to the charging station, disconnect the battery, and restart the whole process. While that issue has somewhat improved, it was a major frustration early on. Overall, the unit is simply not up to the task for a larger snow removal area, especially with the long charge times and constant charging inconsistencies. The studded tracks, which offer slightly better traction, have caused significant damage to my driveway’s asphalt and concrete when the unit gets stuck and the tracks spin. I originally tried the standard tracks, but they couldn’t even handle a small amount of snow, leading me to switch to the studded ones. Even then, I find myself shoveling snow in areas where the unit gets overwhelmed. This defeats the purpose of an automated snow removal system altogether. In my call with Yarbo engineers, they agreed that my snow removal area was too large for the unit, and their only solution was to suggest I purchase another unit to cover the area. They also made it clear that a refund would not be issued because I was outside the 30-day return window. Unfortunately, during those first 30 days, I had very little snow, and constant connection issues prevented me from fully testing the unit in time to identify these problems. If you have a small area with the right conditions, the Yarbo snow blower might work for you, but otherwise, I wouldn’t waste your time or money on this unit. It simply isn’t reliable or efficient enough for larger spaces, and the issues I've encountered make it clear that this product is not ready for serious use.

I saw the S1 being advertised and thought, WOW now that's something I could use. But I am a very skeptical person, and when I saw the name change and then the launch of the crowdfunding I had doubts. I did my research and after some time, I decided to order my Yarbo. I was like everyone else and became very impatient and wondered if I was ever going to get my Yarbo. With the shipping updates and constant communication My mind was put at ease. I received my order and the fun began! If you read the manuals the assembly and operation is easy. The background monitoring and support is second to none!! The Facebook Group input is great and very helpful. The quality and performance exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to get the lawn mower attachment and blower into action!!

As a partially disabled person with acres of hilly tree laden land that I love in a rural area this was a life saver. My wife has been bugging me to sell and move to a smaller place in the city without the land to make it easier. I have neck, back, and nerve damage and mowing for an hour would leave me in a state of pain that lasted the rest of the day. I saw the Yarbo and though how many people like me end up selling their homes due to being unable to maintain it. So I signed up to become a dealer. And although it took a long time to get the initial unit and they are still growing their dealer support the tank has proven to be invaluable to me and hopefully to many like me in my area. Is it easy to setup? No you do need to install some antenna correctly, and you need to setup the unit correctly for your yard and the job you want it to do. Does it work? Yes once you understand how it functions and setup it works with very few issues. Is it set and forget? No not really I had it get stuck on a rock the other day while I was away, but I was able to move it remotely to bypass the obsticle and then it completed the remaining yard without issue.

I purchased Yarbo mainly to cut down on mowing. I have six acres and it is very time consuming. The deciding factor for purchase was what all Yarbo can do. It isn't just a mower. It's a mower, blower, snow blower and it can tow up to 3400 pounds. It has a follow me feature that will tow a trailer and follow you as you pick up sticks and put in the trailer. This is a game changer. No other robot mower can do what Yarbo can do. Yarbo is doing a great job at listening to their customers and meeting their needs. Like any technology it will always be a work in progress. Always updated and making better. Great Job Yarbo!! I'm very impressed with my Yarbo.

I saw Snowbot becoming Yarbo. I test the 1572 unit of S1. Then the 2023 version was a real improvement but still having issue and was really noisy. The 2024 sure is a great one. It is strong, can figure out how to manoeuver to don't get stuck. It deleiver what we can expect of a home snowblower robot. The after-sales services are just amazing. If you leave in a northern region with lots of snow, it will be a time where the stock piles are 8 to 10 feets high. Then in automatic mode, it might not do as great as when it got space. I do redo some section manually since the walls of the stock piles are to high for the automatic mode when it need to clean close to it. In overall, is it worth to invest in Yarbo’s tech? Definetly yes. I don't regret it at all since they give so much support to ensure that your experience are great with your Yarbo.

Amazing product that gets better with each firmware update. I am able to wake up to a cleared driveway after a snowstorm and spend the time usually allotted for shoveling or snow blowing with my family instead.
