Yarbo truly is the real deal - AMAZING!
My experience from the Kickstarter program, and then through the very transparent communications and now into product support has been amazing. As a professional engineer, and senior technology leader myself, I can confidently say that Yarbo is the real deal. They have shown the commitment of a much more established company and at the same time they continue to show the agility of a highly adaptive and nimble engineering startup. Hardware: VERY high-quality components throughout. The design and integration of the Snow Blower module to the main Yarbo body as a modular design is fantastic. The blower itself is a powerful 2-stage – powerhouse and throws snow as far and as efficiently as my gas-powered machine. Control of the chute direction and angle (via software or remote control) is seamless and extremely responsive. Speed of the augers is suitable for ay condition. The Rover/Robot itself can only be described as a BEAST. It’s heavy (you want this for a blower!) yet amazingly nimble. The tank turns when returning to the charger is a thing to behold (its fast!). Construction is, across the board very clearly top-notch. It’s clear that millions have been spent to get this right. Componentry fits together like a Dyson or Apple product. Nothing looks out of place. Lights/LEDs are highly functional and well placed. The autonomous-run warning light is perfect. Kudos to the Yarbo team on this front! Software: As I said earlier, I am a technology leader by trade. In fact, I have nearly 30 years in hardware and software test engineering. I can say, without a doubt, that Yarbo has taken the significant requirement for solid software very serious. There are two aspects to software in a machine like this: the application that runs remote device-side (iPhone, Android) and the firmware that is installed on the Yarbo itself. The team has been very diligently making GREAT updates to both. Kudos to the software team at Yarbo! It honestly excites me to see the regular updates coming to address bugs through the beta/Kickstarter testing I’ve done on this machine. The application is rich and features are intuitive to use. Control is real-time. And the features that keep on coming keep me salivating for more! Support: Yarbo has been amazing on the support side. They REALLY stand by their product. They clearly believe in this product and every Yarbo team member I have spoken to is passionate about providing world-class support. Summary: This machine is truly amazing! Yarbo has absolutely nailed it for all aspects of product design. I say this to anyone who asks me (and now, MANY people have stopped me to ask me about this machine on my property): YARBO IS THE REAL DEAL!
