### 5/5 — Love my little buddy :)

*2026-07-22*

Does a great job, you do have to keep an eye on him in some areas but otherwise he’s a workhorse! Year round too! I have a 5 acre property that’s hilly and shrubby and I’m truly impressed at how well it does.

### 5/5 — Yarbo Pro Mower

*2026-07-21*

I have had my Yarbo for two weeks and have had a successful lawn mowing experience.  I am still fine tuning my maps and trimmer lines.  I have had great support from both Yarbo and   Monteleone Gardens the dealer I purchased it from.

### 3/5 — Works great but….

*2026-07-21*

Took me a while to figure it all out as I’ve never used one before. Overall I’m pretty pleased. There are some things that I’m not happy with. First being lack of precision under trees with leaves. It’ll drift, miss spots and then I’ll have to have Yarbo mow it twice. Our vehicle GPS works almost everywhere except in tunnels, why can’t this? Second is a little more frustrating. I don’t understand why it can’t learn as it goes. I woke up this morning and found that he ran into a tree (collision occurred) so, I backed him up and resumed the plan. I did this repeatedly 4 times and he hit the same spot even after moving him to a different position each time. Like I said, overall I’m happy but there are some improvements that need to be made.

### 4/5 — Good unit.  High price tag

*2026-06-10*

I am very pleased during the times when Yarbo is working.  I’ve had some difficulty with yarbo maintain GPS signal while creating maps but seem to have figured it out.   It’s only been 3 weeks so I am still learning.

### 5/5 — Yarbo

*2026-06-08*

I am still trying to learn all the tricks to using my Yarbo. I’m having a few issues but so far I think I will be satisfied. Right now I am using it to mow 3 acres and plan on added 3 more acres.  My issues have been it overheating, even on cool days, problems with the blades .   Overall, I’m pleased with the unit.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-01, version 3.18.3*

No Help When Issues Arise

### 1/5 — Difficult app

*2026-05-01, version 3.18.3*

Not a good app or a good product. Too many bugs and support is slow to help and does not read what is submitted

### 2/5 — A lot of issues not so much help

*2026-05-01*

I am on my third core in less than 8 months. Customer service for the most part is not good. They have their moments, but the good is far out weighed by the bad. 

With the latest software updates I’ve read over 3 dozen different accounts of people not having access to gps now. An essential part of the mower process. 

I feel like I wasted a significant amount of money. 

When this unit works, it’s amazing. But only when it works. Which frankly has been about 2 months out of 7.5.

### 5/5 — Great system

*2026-04-30, version 3.18.3*

The Yarbo is great!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-04-30, version 3.18.3*

Bought in July of 2025 and it has mowed 100% of my lawn.
