There should be an option to clear the perimeter only.
I live in a region that has alot of wind. When it snows the snow continues to blow in the driveway for hours after it stops snowing. (I live in the prairies).. I have a large driveway that needs to be cleared and 80% of it does not need to be cleared after it stops snowing … Just the perimeter.. It takes about 90+ mins to clear the whole area, between charging and clearing the whole area that can take upwards of 4 hours.
It would make sense to just clear the perimeter every few hours instead of doing the entire area. have a setting where you are able to do 2-3 perimeters would make the most sense.
Thank you for your suggestion and for providing such a detailed explanation of your situation. It really helps us understand the challenges you’re facing. We see how clearing just the perimeter could be a great solution for your area, especially with the snow and wind conditions.
We’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to our app team for consideration, and we hope to implement this feature in the future.
Would putting a Sidewalk around your Area as a perimeter achieve what you are looking for? You could then schedule just the Sidewalk until you were ready to do the Area.
Doing a Sidewalk before an Area like that has the added benefit of giving Yarbo a little room to move without so much snow when it goes to clear the Area.
I would need to do several “sidewalks” next to each other.. Depending on snow conditions and wind it may only need to do 2 rounds other days it may need to do 4…
That is alot of messy work to do with the current method of setting up compared to clicking a check box and selecting how many perimeters should be done..
Not downplaying your suggestion at all as it will work.. and its a great helpful idea.. But I cannot be the only person that will have this issue and a well rounded polished product should have an allowance to do this without the workaround/hack. (I know its a new product that is still growing that is why I put it up as a suggestion.)
You’re not the first to suggest this and won’t be the list. It’s a great one and I think has enough merit that it will make the list. But, probably not until next winter.
