It’s the most workable solution in my environment. You mileage may vary 
Not only will it climb the wall it will keep climbing until it flips over.
Some of the zones are rather small or large depending and thats just alot of deadends and I have enough trouble with the grass dying under the tracks its making in the lawn beside pathways just adding more isolated entry and exit points will just make things look worse.
Thats pretty crazy… I haven’t had that displeasure yet…
You can also create smaller no go zones with templates on top of your no go zones so they become smaller and then delete your old one. Then drive Yarbo closer.
@Kolbe I was thinking that might be my solution as well. I’m waiting on the Pro head so just sent the leaf blower out into the yard to do something more complex than a flat asphalt driveway. Complete Fail. 4” tall grass but it is along the sides of my drive that are not watered so it had some discoloration and is pretty thin. Unit did nothing but identify everything as an obstacle. The module is at the lowest setting and I don’t see a way to change the height - tried to manually raise but it goes right back down when it starts the job. Feels like the angle might be a part of the problem. Given all the talk about the mower I am guessing next to nothing has been done / addressed with the leaf blower. I don’t know what to think about this thing now.
Sure I could open another support ticket and be told to update my apps and firmware even though that has been verified multiple times. Reboot. Send Screenshots, right into the blackhole to never hear of a solution.
No… Its already drawn as small as possible… It leaves a good mower or so width around everything which basically I need to spend way too long with the whipper snipper… I am not sure what the trimmer is going to do when it is released since there is such a large safety margin around everything… is the trimmer going to tackle a mower width or more??
if your in the return window return it. waitring for the mower to show up is only going to make sure the return window is closed on the core and leaf blower
Does anyone have feedback on the snowblower - does that at least work? Leaf blower was a nice to have. If the same nightmare exists for the snowblower then I am out.
I received my snow blower in April so it hasn’t seen any snow yet. I will say that I did put the snow blower on and mapped the driveway with it in prep for winter. After removing the snow blower and installing the leave blower I was presented with the “Power Board Issue”
I’m guessing the snow blower requires more power than the mower or the leaf blower.
My support ticket is still open on this issue and they contacted me for follow up.
It has not re-occurred since. I’ve only been mowing since the grass is tall and growing fast.
Once Yarbo finishes mowing the current work area, I will install the snow blower and remap the driveway based on feedback from the Yarbo Community members. After that I’ll reinstall the leaf blower to try and reproduce.
If my hunch is right, there may be a run on power boards (cores) come the first snowfall. But I hope I’m wrong and at this point I’m trusting Yarbo the company to make it right if this indeed comes to true.
What is that?
It’s a slope mower.
I do have the snowblower and other than the latches breaking and needing to replace the whole unit Its works pretty good.. but I only got about 2 months of use out of it… But it needs more development as well but not to the degree the mower.
I started using it 75% of the way through the winter and it got stuck a fair amount but it was less than a good surface… By no means could you just let it snowblow unsupervised… But it beats using a normal snowblower as I would only be outside giving it a pull or a push 3-4 times each time while it was clearing snow each snowfall.. I am curious to see how well it will do when it can maintain the snow for a whole year…
Also one thing to consider is how long it will take to clear the snow and charge the battery… which you wont know until you have it. Since its cold it charges very slowly (in my case) which is about 3 hours and it takes about 90 mins to do the snow blowing I need it to do.. so If I get 5-6 inches of snow in a 4 hour period it will fall behind and I will have to go borrow the neighbours equipment to clear the snow.
Biggest thing for the snowblower is do not wait for it to finish snowing before sending it out if your getting more than 1-2 inches.. and you need to remember if its blowing snow that should be cleared asap because it will have problems with snowbanks that get packed down due to wind.
I live way up north in central Canada.. Our snow isn’t typically wet and slushy so I would also get the opinion of someone that has had it in your snow type… I see lots of people complain about plugging and freezing which I think has more to do with wet snow that I do not see here.
But the biggest Caveat is get the charging cable for the battery (Which should be included with the snowblower IMHO).. If it gets stuck its not able to move itself and with the battery warmer in cold temperatures the battery will drain where it wont be able to move itself and there isn’t a facility to take the battery and just charge the battery if you do not have the appropriate cable.. you need to manage to get the 250 lbs core and snowblower back to where it can be charged. I have had a few close calls getting it back to the charger since it draws quite a bit of power to keep warm even though it is just sitting there… (Again I live in a central Canada and its pretty common to see snow at -25C)
WTF, is this a “you’re holding it wrong moment”? How am I to blame as a customer for yarbo not doing it’s job as promoted? Who do you think is the right customer then?
My Yarbo does not mow most of the time, my Yarbo stands in the fields trying to get gps or slips around or bottoms out on uneven ground most of the time! It ruins my lawn most of the time, it zero turns where it is set to smart turn because of some 70-110° angle issue I have no control of.
For me it is not enough if it’s doing most of its job most of the time, maybe for you! This is not the high standard that I’m expect to deliver in my job and it is for sure not enough for this very expensive device.
Be careful, mine flipped in March against a retaining wall, no rear obstacle avoidance at the moment.
You are not to blame as a customer if Yarbo is not doing its job. If your Yarbo doesn’t work at all, I feel for you. I can’t explain how yours has all of those problems while mine has none of them.
But there is a difference between “my Yarbo doesn’t work at all” and “my Yarbo isn’t perfect and therefore it is the worst most horrible terrible trash product ever designed”. It is exhausting to see so many “the sky is falling” complaints, when in some cases it is simply a issue that needs improvement. There needs to be a difference.
As far as the work Yarbo handles, it does just about what my robovac does. Did I buy a robovac and throw out my vacuum and mop? Did expect to do no manual work, maintenance, or touch up. Did I expect it to never get stuck and cover all surfaces?
I used to spend many hours per week mowing and plowing, now I spend very little time touching up the things Yarbo doesn’t do. I also used to spend a lot of time cleaning floors, now I spend much less time covering the things the robovac doesn’t do. That works for me.
Until they fix the excessive setback. Then it runs over everything inside your artificial boundary.
It works for me around my trees.
I don’t want to make the no go zones smaller around my in-ground trampoline.
