Some Praise

Everyone likes to chime in with feedback when it’s negative, but I think it’s just as important for Yarbo to hear what’s been done well. First off, the pro antennas for sure have made a massive positive impact on signal strength and reliability.

More importantly, I had been away for several weeks and just executed my first pro mower cuts since the update from firmware v3.14.0 to v3.14.1. I had a lot of issues with v3.14.0 and I have to say v3.14.1 has been such a massive step in the right direction. Yarbo moves are much more closely respecting area boundaries and are noticeably much more effective at minimizing lawn damage - I’ve been happily observing the smooth turns and long backup movements as needed. Absolutely awesome! Now I’d love to see the docking behavior similarly improved with a smooth back in that doesn’t destroy the area in front of the dock, and better handling of obstacles like trees (honestly it seemed like yarbo did this better last year, maneuvering much more closely around the perimeter of these types of obstacles, I hope this wasn’t a move to sell the trimmers :sweat_smile:). One other thing to note is that the ultrasonic sensor behavior is so much better. My yarbo went from probably the worst it ever operated for mower duty to the best it’s ever operated in one minor version update!

Please do keep up the improvements and it would be really excellent to provide a little more control over the firmware updates (perhaps at the very least allow for rolling back 1 version?)

Anyways, great improvement on this update!

Really happy to hear 3.14.1 is working so much better for you. And thanks for calling out the specific improvements — that’s very helpful feedback for us.

I’ll also pass along your points about docking, obstacle handling around trees, and firmware rollback. Hopefully we can keep moving in this direction.

I agree with you completely. I do acknowledge all of the many users and their complaints concerning their Yarbo and I hope they get addressed promptly. That being said, I purchased my Yarbo mainly for the snow blower. I live in Indiana and my driveway is long and steep and winding. Every year it is a problem and prior to Yarbo I was going to have heating elements installed. So far my experience has been great especially after working out some small issues in the beginning. I just ordered the leaf blower module and I am expecting it this week. Hopefully this too works well and then we will be all set. Now if it could replace my chainsaw then my life would be complete…well we will wait on that one.

B1 (Blower) is a beast!

Yes I am very excited to use it. Yarbo has been a dream come true for me. I can’t wait to get it going!
