YARBO The World's First Modular Yard Robot- So Much More than a Lawn Mower Review

[@birdsongblossoms8547]

I think that they have a winner here. We have 6 acres of lawn on complex terrain. The lowest price we can get from a lawn service is $1,200/mo. Ball buster. So I do it - 10.5 hours per week, from May thru October. Makes the price of this unit a no-brainer.

[@paulexplainsit]

Did you work out how long it will take at the speed it runs, and the time it takes to charge for each 1/3 of an acre? 6 hours per 1/3 of an acre including charging...

[@sy73326]

At $7,500 and then up to $10 grand it really should do a lot. That is a lot of money for a lawnmower. It does seem to be a really nice, well thought out device.

[@Manowar68]

On the website they sell with 3 attachments for $6,200

back in my day.....aka 4 years ago...we didn't have camera's on our autonomous lawn mowers, we had to lay down perimeter wire and physically check on the mower to find out if it was stuck. But seriously though, 3/4 of these options weren't available even a few years ago, we've come a long ways

​@@EverydayReviews2022hey, very cool video. If you can would you suggest to the creator guy to add a striping feature? With how good it is at knowing where it is, and the ap behind it I would think the sky would be the limit as to what this thing could do even stripe custom images into the lawn.

For the price you can’t beat it compared to other robot mowers. It can mow and much more for the same price as other robotic mowers or a high end ridding mower.

[@benwilliamson4328]

Love this new technology. With that said, I think most of us have the same problem or anxiety. Whether it be a vacuum or a Ryobi tool, if something breaks, where can we go to get it fixed? There aren’t traditional maintenance shops like we have for ICE vehicles. This machine is too expensive, IMO, to risk something serious breaking

[@patrick7228]

Amazing technology. I'm curious how it gets serviced if there is something wrong. With it being so large I imagine it's heavy and nobody would want to box it up and take it to FEDEX.

[@vaclavsubrt5474]

I came accross this while I was looking for some alternative ways to groom and compress snow (for making XC ski trails). I would like to use it as a tow vehicle for a groomer (hand-made or professional one) to groom approx 1 mile circuit. It has enough strength but unfortunately not enough traction for that task. Of course I don't expect it would make its way through snowdrifts, but still it should be able to go through few inches (up to 10 cm) fresh snow and tow some 200 KG heavy groomer device behind it without slipping. My idea would be to add another module component at the front that would not be used to remove snow from the path, but to compress it (or cut & compress it if hard packed). It would not be a super hi-tech device, it should just weight something to be able to compress snow. But as it would be attached at the front, it would be pushed instead of towed plus there would be no need for the tracks to go through fresh snow. This could solve the problem with traction. Hard to say how many people would appreciate it, but according to my observation there are quite a lot of enthusiasts around the internet. In low to moderate snowfall areas, where there is not worth it to buy heavy and expensive equipment, something like that would be a great machine for XC trail maintenance, as well as biking and walking trails during winter due to its fantastic versatility. For example s1 module could be used to pile up snow in sites on the trail where it melts faster and lawn mower would be perfect for off season maintenance when the frequent mowing is needed. If only there were snow compressing module..😉

[@timvu8759]

I ordered mine. I already have a husqvarna 450x doing an acre for me. I love the thing, but it gets stuck about once a day on uneven surfaces. The other thing thats a pain is it uses boundary wires which I've accidentally cut multiple times while doing yard work.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

I wasn't sure if this would work with my yard because my lawn is lower than my sidewalks so my current robot mower can't get over the lip to get to another p[art of the mowing plan. The way this drives on or off smaller curbs will be no issue for my yard for sure. That was really one of my biggest concerns because anything autonomous that you have to get unstuck often defeats the purpose for me.

[@asicengineer]

yeah, I've trashed my Husqvarna 450x, after a lot of wire setup time, because it just kept getting stuck and every spring the wires would be broken from one thing or another.

[@Steven-xs8ie]

They should market this for neighborhoods. The price is steep, but have a city block go in on this and do everyones side walks. My block already collects to get the alley plowed, if we could get the alley and our sidewalks done, I'd be so in!

[@rsmith5201]

I like that it is modular wiih different attachments. What is holding me back is how secure it is. I have been watching several videos and reading information on different websites. NO one is talking about any theft prevention security features. Not even this video. When you're looking at $4,300 for the core and the lawnmower attachment. I want to know if it can be stolen or not. If there is security / theft prevention in Yarbo? That is something that needs to be highlighted. Spending several minutes on this subject alone. No Anti-Theft IS a deal killer. I don't care if it will not work if not connected to the RTK or not connected to my Wifi. Can it be tracked when stolen? I have already had a robotic lawnmower stolen. I got it back within a few hours due to the GPA tracking module that the company offered and I purchased. The thief came into a fenced yard that is clearly marked with dozens of lighted signs, that state, property under continuous video surveillance. So yes, there are idiots who are willing to steal these small robots. Even though the robot turns into a very expensive paper weigh or door stop when off properly. That is something they don't know about when stealing it.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

It apparently does have not only GPS for tracking but a separate battery to power that system from what I understand. It’s also can’t be used by anyone else if stolen which I know means nothing for the owner. It’s also really heavy to lift. Like anything, if they want it, they’ll get it just like anything else.

[@marksmadhousemetaphysicalm2938]

I think a backhoe would be a cool feature…either for planting trees or bushes or for laying pipe or conduit…Yarbo could do indoor support as well…

Looks pretty awesome but the price is a little pricey for the average consumer. Will they reduce the price at some point? I think it would be more beneficial to get them sold and build out service plans. Anyone that buys would want to but a service plan I would think. Also will there be a future gardening attachment as I have a large garden that would need tilling. Gardening would include clearing and then tilling before planting.

[@EverydayReviews2022]

Pretty sure that’s it’s the future works. Pricey for maybe just a lawnmower but given the fact that it can be so more I think it’s very reasonable considering the price of others in the market which many can’t even operate as much and often as this unit and are only lawn mowers. I was just talking to my neighbour yesterday and he has an autonomous lawnmower but one of those smaller ones shown. He can only do about 2500 ft.² with his and it can only takeoff millimetres compared to what this is yet the pricing is fairly close between the two

[@benarder]

@@EverydayReviews2022 yea that may be true when compared to other similar mowers but I don’t think it will sell well to the average consumer unless they have a very large yard. I think it’s in a luxury category for the current price at the moment. I think for the company to get more sales they’d be more affective selling at a lower price and selling maintenance plans for recurring revenue. My parents are in their 70’s, have a fairly large property and they just pay someone to mow the lawn. It would be great for them but it’s hard to justify when you can hire someone for less so it doesn’t make sense cost wise for now. With the purchase cost there are still maintenance requirements that will have to be kept up with as well which adds to the cost. Thats just my point of view though. I do love the product though. I wish I could get one.

[@benarder]

Looking at the sale price right now vs regular price. Seems pretty reasonable while on sale. I might purchase on the next sale.

@@EverydayReviews2022autonomous lawnmowers range in price from $750-2500 depending on the size of the yard it needs to mow. At $3500+ you’re in the ballpark of an electric zero turn mower that any big home improvement store carries.

[@asicengineer]

The customer is people with large yards, and there are millions of them. If you mow more than an acre you discover that it takes quite a while each week and, no surprise, it can cost hundreds of dollars per mow if you wan to hire someone. So anyone with, say 2 acres or more would save money after two years, if it works as advertised.

If you're curing 6 acres, it most certainly matters.

[@paulexplainsit]

3 hours for 1/3 acre plus 3 hours of recharging, so 6 hours per 1/3, meaning 18 hours per acre. This would take 4.5 days to mow 6 acres. Assuming you actually use your yard, you most likely would place it on standby if you have kids running around kicking a ball or whatever, and you don't want them to trip over it etc. So it's going to most likely run at night mostly, meaning it will take 9 days. I have 4 acres to mow and kids, so it will be running every single night and basically only finish the area over the course of a week. So every day, some of the lawn will be done but almost never, all of it.

This is not a practical solution for anything larger than 1 acre. Mowing 1/3 acre in 3 hours then charging for 3 hours means that a 4 acre yard would take 72-80 hours to mow. In the springtime I’ve got to mow every 4 days with a normal mower. That means the Yarbo would be constantly mowing in the spring and early summer and by the time it finished mowing, the area it started in would be grown and your yard would never look uniform at all. The problem is power, and if they made it more powerful the price point would be too high. Small yards only, definitely not 6 acres.
