Yarbo: The $5,000 Robot That Clears Snow Without a Shovel
The Yarbo Snow Blower Robot is gaining attention for automating driveway clearing: a modular, map-based bot that can throw snow 6–40 feet, clear up to 12 inches at a time, and cover about 6,000 square feet per charge, while operating down to -13°F. It can be scheduled or set to auto-detect storms, returns home at 20% battery, and recharges in about 90 minutes. Capable of plowing gravel and slopes up to 36%, it’s bundled in a Yarbo Core system with optional attachments (lawn mower, leaf blower); pricing starts around $4,999 for the core model and $6,999 for the full 4-in-1 bundle.
