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.

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.

NJ Man Sips Coffee as $5K Robot Snowblower Clears a 6,000-Sq-Ft Driveway During Storm Fern

During Winter Storm Fern, a northern New Jersey homeowner used a $5,000 Yarbo autonomous snow blower to clear his roughly 6,000-square-foot driveway, posting videos of the robot working while he stayed indoors with a coffee. The machine recharges at about 80% after roughly 1.25 hours and then resumes clearing, though it faced icy patches and a broken shear pin during the storm.
