Ask Me Anything #2 – A Message from Allen, CEO and Founder of Yarbo

Hi Allen,

First, thank you for creating a product that saves me from mowing 2-3 times per week, each taking 2+ hours. I’m grateful for that, and I’m still actively using my Yarbo.

I pre-ordered the 2024 Yarbo 4-in-1 over a year ago when it was first announced, trusting in the promised features and capabilities. While I understood I was taking an early-adopter risk, many of the core features that were marketed still aren’t working reliably after all this time.

My specific questions:

Vision and navigation improvements: What timeline can you share for this summer and fall regarding better navigation under dense tree cover?

Zero-point turn damage: Even with “smart turns” enabled, my Yarbo still relies heavily on zero-point turns that are creating visible lawn damage. When will this be meaningfully improved?

Trimmer functionality: With the new trimmer scheduled to ship in early August, what improvements to navigation can we expect before then to ensure it will be functional? Precision trimming seems to require even more accurate navigation than mowing.

Summer/fall expectations: For those of us who invested early and have been patient, what specific issues can we realistically expect to be resolved during the peak mowing months ahead?

I believe in Yarbo’s potential and want to see it succeed. Thanks for taking the time to engage with the community tonight.
