I was an early kickstarter backer for yarbo and chose to upgrade to the 2024 model when it came out. The company has been supportive the entire way and continually strives to improve the hardware and software based on user feedback. I have used the mower for 2 years. I have about 2.5 acres of mowable area. I am in the woods so have lots of large rock and root obstacles as well as steep hills. It tackles about 90% of the area saving me hours each week. I manually clean up some trouble areas, mostly weed whacking around obstacles. I hope to try the trimmer soon to try to reliably get up close to the trees. I have used the snowblower for 3 seasons in New England with a long steep driveway with a curve. Each year it has successfully handled all but 1 storm. When it struggles, my tractor run blower also struggles usually due to a difficult condition like wet heavy snow with some frozen layers. If you consider yarbo a tool that will save you a significant amount of time and, in my opinion is pretty fun and a conversation starter with your neighbors, then you will be very happy. It will get 80-90% of what you need done in most natural environments. I would also encourage buyers to be the type who are comfortable doing maintenance. Yarbo has lots of instructional videos and I find it easy to swap blades, treads between summer/winter and attachments. I plan to change some of my landscaping to make it more yarbo friendly and further reduce what I need to do manually.

Yarbo is doing a good job with my grass, I'm extremely happy with results. I would have given 5 stars, but I did have some defective units that arrived when I first gotxthe product set. Yarbo support did a good job replacing them and everything is now working as expected.

Very Poor Customer Service I have a Yarbo (snow blower, leaf blower, lawn mover incl trimmer) since 2024. I am now at core #3 due to various issues (no problems with exchanging the cores) and the snow blower and lawn mower worked fine so far. The problems started when I tried to operate the trimmer (I bought it last year for this season). Here is my customer service nightmare: I kept getting error messages and the brand new trimmer never started to spin. I opened a ticked on May 25, 2026. On June 9, the Yarbo customer support informed me that the trimmer is broken and that I would get a new one. On June 12 I got a message that a "refurbished core" is on its way. After contacting the customer service again, they told me that it is a mistake and a trimmer will be shipped soon. On June 22, I reached out to Yarbo when the trimmer would ship ... later the same day I received a message from UPS that a shipment is on its way from "VOC-Jerry" and that I need to pay import fees for $103.97 ... I called UPS and they couldn't provide any details but recommended to cancel it if I do not know the sender ... which I did. Potential scam. On June 23, Yarbo send me a note informing me that the trimmer is on its way ... with the UPS tracking number I just canceled ... After countless emails back and forth they informed me that they can only send me a new trimmer in August 2026 and that they would give me 5,000 Yarbo points to compensate for the poor experience ... The points never made it into my account. On August 21, I received an automated pickup notification from Yarbo support ... I thought the trimmer is on its way and contacted them that I am still waiting for the trimmer ... and the points. After several email exchanges and trying to explain why I still do not have a trimmer ... I haven't received an update since August 28, 2026 ... Yarbo Support does not react to my requests about getting an update ... complete silence ... Today, is Sept 6, 2026. Would I buy a Yarbo again: No. Not because of the product. I love it but because of the terrible customer service. I hope this helps. Update on Sept 20, 2026: The Yarbo team managed to address all the issues I mentioned above in the meantime. I love their products and their customer service has dramatically changed since the beginning of Sept. Timely and transparent updates on what is happening, what to expect etc. Just how it should be. I understand from my the customer service contact at Yarbo that they have changed their processes based on this case. So, I trust such a case will not happen again. We started with the snow blower more than 2 years ago and in the meantime we own all their modules (Lawn mower, Trimmer, Leaf blower, Snow blower). I plan to upgrade to the Lawn mower Pro for the next season as we have a rough patch of grassland at the back of our property. They have been a game changer for us here in Alberta. We sold all our other equipment for snow removal and yard care (zero turn mower, snow blower etc). So, after the changes in their customer service, I can fully recommend Yarbo again.

J’utilise Yarbo depuis un certain temps et le concept est réellement impressionnant. Lorsqu’il fonctionne correctement, le système est performant et l’automatisation de l’entretien d’un grand terrain apporte une réelle valeur. La conception modulaire est également l’un des principaux avantages du produit. Mon expérience est toutefois mitigée en raison de plusieurs problèmes techniques et de fiabilité. J’ai notamment dû faire remplacer mon Core et j’ai rencontré des problèmes avec le Data Center, le positionnement RTK, la cartographie ainsi que la détection d’obstacles par la vision. Certaines pièces ont également dû être remplacées. Le support Yarbo répond généralement à mes demandes et tente de trouver des solutions, ce que j’apprécie. Cependant, les délais peuvent être très longs. Un de mes tickets concernant des pièces de remplacement est ouvert depuis le 5 juin et, malgré plusieurs suivis, le processus d’expédition a pris beaucoup trop de temps. Yarbo possède énormément de potentiel et je continue de croire au produit. Par contre, pour un équipement de cette gamme de prix, je m’attends à une meilleure fiabilité, à un logiciel plus mature et surtout à un processus de service après-vente et d’expédition des pièces beaucoup plus rapide. À ce stade, je lui donne 3 étoiles. Je serais tout à fait disposé à revoir ma note à la hausse si la fiabilité continue de s’améliorer et si Yarbo réussit à accélérer son service après-vente. Mise à jour du 10 septembre 2026 Les bonnes pièces de remplacement ont finalement été reçues le 8 septembre, soit 95 jours après l’ouverture du ticket le 5 juin. Je tiens à reconnaître cette avancée. Je n’ai toutefois pas encore installé ni testé les pièces; je ne peux donc pas confirmer que le problème est entièrement résolu. Dans sa réponse publique, Yarbo reconnaît le délai excessif et annonce une compensation, dont les modalités doivent encore m’être communiquées par le support. Je conserve pour l’instant ma note de 3 étoiles. Mon appréciation tient compte de l’ensemble de mon expérience, notamment de la fiabilité, du logiciel et du service après-vente. Je mettrai de nouveau cet avis à jour après les essais et selon les résultats concrets du suivi.

I preordered a Yarbo mower and snowblower a few years ago. There has minor quirks etc throughout getting it set up etc, as expected being a new unit. Yarbo has been very responsive on getting these issues resolved as well as any mechanical failure. I have received any replacement parts fast and follow-up has been spot on. The unit now runs seamlessly for the most part. All in all I have been very impressed with the company.

Love our two Yarbos! I’ll say upfront, if you expect to drive this machine out of the box and onto your lawn to mow, you will be disappointed. There is a learning curve. If you read, use the wiki, ask questions, go to the Discord meeting on Wednesday nights, and contact Yarbo Support, IN THAT ORDER, anyone can figure it out. If you do these things, and Yarbo Support can’t fix it in the end, they will replace it. Mostly (not always as there are rare exceptions) the people who whine and complain HAVE NOT done the work. When I sold my 40 year old small lawn tractor as a museum piece, a replacement was $25,000. AND I STILL HAVE TO DRIVE IT!! Yarbo has saved me 253 hours in the last 10 months. I have a 26 hp tractor with a bucket and 62” mower deck. The deck hasn’t come out of the shed this summer. I use the bucket only for plow snow and to push back banks when they reach 4-5 feet. I’ve had my first Yarbo almost a year. I researched them for two years before I bought and talked to the prototype testers as they were just really coming to the mass consumer market when I got mine. It’s the best on the market. I have two cores, two mowers and a blower, and cover almost four acres mowing and an acre total blowing. There is a fair amount of setup involved, but if you follow directions and don’t rush it’s not bad. There is TONS of support from Yarbo. You see some folk complaining on facebook, but usually they are taking shortcuts. I’m a retired educator, so my interest is in helping people learn about robotics. Some people just sell machines. I love Yarbo because I don’t like people getting taken advantage of. It is also why I do demos and am an amateur contact so I can help people for free without a conflict of trying to sell them. If Yarbo won’t work for you, I’ll tell you. And Yarbo will too. I love Yarbo products and the positive, supportive attitude of the Yarbo company SO MUCH that I’m in the process of setting up a dealership and repair center. The excitement and the fun, the look on people’s face when they get a Yarbo set up is priceless. We get to sit together, have a cup of coffee, and chat while a couple of button pushes cuts the lawn.

While Yarbo isn't perfect, it has proven to be a great tool. We are from Canada, we winter in the southern USA. Last year, Yarbo kept my 6000 ft driveway clear while away with very little trouble. I was able to control it remotely making it easy to ensure it was working properly. The small issue i had with cameras, the support team was able to get it operating within minutes of receiving my email. My only wish is that the battery lasted longer in the winter months. But at -30c, what can you expect. It took 2 charges to complete the driveway. After returning home I purchased the pro mower and haven't had to manually cut the grass at all this year. Its been great. We have over 20,000 sq ft of lawn, and again, while not perfect, the lawn always looks great. Enough so that my neighbor just purchased one and loves it.

⭐ 1 star — Serious safety concerns I am extremely disappointed with my Yarbo. The biggest problem is its behavior around obstacles. Yarbo drives directly into objects that are clearly large enough to be detected. Instead of stopping, it can continue driving, push objects, or even drive over them. This has happened repeatedly on my property. For example, Yarbo pushed my child’s sandbox approximately 1 meter from its original position and drove through and over toys and other objects in the yard. I also have photos showing Yarbo driving into a large rose bush/tree and driving over a barrier. These are not small or difficult-to-see obstacles. This is extremely concerning. A robot designed to operate autonomously should be able to recognize large obstacles and stop instead of driving into them or attempting to drive over them. I bought Yarbo expecting a high-end autonomous robot that I could trust to operate safely on my property. At the moment, I cannot trust it to do that. I consider this a serious safety issue, not simply a minor software problem or inconvenience. I expect Yarbo to take this seriously, investigate why the obstacle detection and avoidance are failing, and provide a proper solution. For a product at this price level, this behavior is completely unacceptable. I would strongly advise potential buyers to carefully consider these safety issues before purchasing Yarbo.
