Hb

### 4/5 — Never Mow Again?!?

*2026-07-29, version 3.19.2*

For the most part, no. But sometimes the poor robot gets stuck, or confused by obstacles that a toddler could overcome.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-07-29, version 3.19.1*

Bought in July of 2025 and it has mowed 100% of my lawn. Updated 7/27/20206: after experiencing the breakdowns, once the two year warranty is over I am concerned this will become a paperweight

### 4/5 — You

*2026-07-29, version 3.19.2*

Good not great yet

### 3/5 — Great device, horrible software

*2026-07-27, version 3.19.1*

The Pro mower is actually pretty great, but the software that runs it is pretty bad.  And every update seems to make it worse instead of better.  I hope Yarbo gets this figured out and I’m able to use this thing to its full potential!

### 3/5 — Works great but….

*2026-07-21, version 3.18.6*

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 — Very Good

*2026-07-21, version 3.19.1*

It's not perfect, but it's saved me half the unit cost in one summer. Happy overall.

### 3/5 — A work in progress

*2026-06-13, version 3.18.6*

When it works, works well. Lot of issues with slow but responsive support team. If purchasing, consider having back-up LB & SB due to excessive downtime when not functioning or else you will be frustrated.

### 4/5 — Good unit.  High price tag

*2026-06-10, version 3.18.6*

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.

### 4/5 — Grass and Snow Exceptional Performance

*2026-06-09, version 3.18.5*

1 1/2 Acres of hilly, country terrain, Lawnmower Pro with long blades, resembles a Golf Course Fairway when completed. 
Yes, there are glitches, but still amazing technology and rugged equipment. 
Thanks to my S. I. L. for all the technical set-up execution.

### 4/5 — Nouvelle version

*2026-06-09, version 3.18.5*

Tout fonctionne très bien

### 5/5 — Yarbo

*2026-05-17, version 3.18.4*

It’s the best a choice this year, it’s really my favorite it.

### 1/5 — New Owner

*2026-07-31, version 3.19.2*

I really wanted to love my Yarbo. The concept is fantastic, and when it works, it does an impressive job mowing. Unfortunately, my experience has been filled with ongoing issues that made it difficult to justify the premium price.

I’ve dealt with GPS synchronization problems, weak HaLow communication, RTK connection issues, camera errors, battery overheating warnings, and an app that has repeatedly required me to delete and recreate my maps. Rebuilding maps multiple times is frustrating and very time consuming.

Customer support has been polite and responsive, but after countless hours of troubleshooting, the issues still remain.

The hardware has a lot of potential, but the software and overall reliability still need significant improvement. I genuinely hope Yarbo continues refining the platform because it could become an outstanding product. At this time, though, I can’t recommend it without reservations.

### 1/5 — Idea is great, Company sucks.

*2026-07-31, version 3.19.2*

The company is terrible, product is super buggy and they are shady. Horrible.

### 1/5 — Bad product. Nothing every works

*2026-07-29, version 3.19.2*

I’ve had app and the mower for 3 years I’m on my 4th warranty device, took the trimmer years too get. Buyer beware. The only plus is atleast the warranty. I’m sure it will stop soon and the thousands spent will be wasted it’s never made one full complete cut with out breaking down for months. At a time waiting on a fix.

### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage product and app

*2026-07-25, version 3.19.1*

Not ready for consumer use.  Just take a few minutes and look at Facebook and instagram and you’ll see the reality of ownership.

### 1/5 — Track keeps falling off

*2026-07-22, version 3.19.1*

Yarbo does not return calls

### 1/5 — Super Glitchy

*2026-07-22, version 3.19.1*

The app regularly crashes, layout would be absolute disaster for anyone to figure out if you’re not technology forward or have time to figure it out.  Pretty much forces you to update as it just did to me today didn’t do the update, and then my boss tried to climb a tree and got jammed under my wife’s car.

### 1/5 — Always afraid to update

*2026-06-26, version 3.18.6*

I hate when they push updates, guarantees something breaks. One update deletes all my maps, the last update broke the schedule, and this one will probably break something too.

### 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

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2026-04-16, version 3.18.2*

A huge pain in the butt from setup to execution

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — GAMECHANGER

*2026-08-11, version 3.19.2*

Thanks for the best product I’ve ever and I repeat ever bought.

### 5/5 — CS is very Responsive

*2026-07-29, version 3.19.2*

I’ve had my share of issues, and in some cases it’s been user error and/or new user learning the systems / platform processes.  Though in all cases, customer support has been very professional and very responsive, thank you.

### 5/5 — Xxxx

*2026-07-29, version 3.19.1*

Hahaha

### 5/5 — Yarbo rocks

*2026-07-29, version 3.19.1*

I’ve saved so much time over this past winter and summer. I even mowed twice while I was on vacation. It’s a little expensive, but not really for what you get back in time saved!

### 5/5 — Love my little buddy :)

*2026-07-22, version 3.19.1*

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 — Great Mower

*2026-07-22, version 3.18.6*

The best thing ever!

### 5/5 — Gentleman farmer

*2026-07-22, version 3.19.1*

That’s my title….now that I have a Yarbo.

### 5/5 — Yarbo Pro Mower

*2026-07-21, version 3.19.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Yarbo, 👏 Great job! 👌😎

*2026-06-08, version 3.18.6*

I love to see this robot mowing our country yard, about 4 acres lawn. Works almost flawlessly. Some minor issues, most user related. This saves us hours a week. I love this. 👍

### 5/5 — Yarbo

*2026-06-08, version 3.18.6*

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.
