Thanks for your interest in the Yarbo trimmer! The string will be sold on pre-spooled “cartridges,” making it easy to replace when needed. This simplifies the process and ensures you have the right setup for your trimmer.
I am solidly disappointed to hear that. Not sure if the decision makers at Yarbo are ignorant to their customer demographic or are banking on a short term moneygrab over keeping a customer who will stay with Yarbo instead of try a different company next.
After purchasing a $5k+ mower and $900 trimmer, the last thing we want is to now be dependent on constantly purchasing $30-$50 proprietary spools. 90% of regular trimmers support having the user putting on their own trim line because its “easy to replace when needed.”

@tbooth9393 I agree.
My preference would have been for a simple removable spool that we could rewind. There is NOTHING complicated or NOT EASY about that.
I’d even be ok with a cartridge if it was refillable with a tool or some other mechanism. Honestly, unless there is something VERY special about the particular string that Yarbo is using, this sounds like a means to pump money from the customer and is VERY disappointing… especially when so many other features make this appear to be a good product…

I know they said the trimmer will come with an extra spool. I’m betting it will be possible to respool an empty spool. Perhaps @Yarbo-Forum could verify this. If not, I agree it is rather disappointing unless the cost for a bulk pack of spools is minimal.

I hope it can be refilled as well.

If a machine can make this…so your telling me im not going to find a way to crack this open and refill it myself? Id be surprised and extremely disappointed if this is not an option for me.

Sorry for the confusion caused by the previous reply. After checking with our product team, the trim line will be sold separately. Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention!

Thank you for the update. Is it proprietary or can an equivalent store bought line be used?

And does it have auto rewind to load the spool?
