Robot Snow Blower Clears Driveway While Owner Watches from Inside
Tech reviewer Tom Moloughney tests Yarbo’s 230-pound autonomous snow blower during Winter Storm Fern, watching it clear a 6,000 sq ft New Jersey driveway from indoors as it autonomously moves between a charging dock and the driveway, throwing snow up to 40 feet and operating in -13°F. The $4,999 device can clear up to 12 feet of snow, recharges in about 90 minutes, and continues until the job is done, though it has GPS connectivity hiccups and ice issues in prior storms.
