In this video I finally got a real Minnesota test for my Yarbo modular yard robot—about 6 inches of snow on March 4th here in Maple Grove. I ran the Yarbo snowblower module through the first 24 hours: a late-night driveway clear (about 31 minutes, ~27% battery), then two more morning runs to handle drifting, plow berm leftovers, and roof blow-off (44 minutes/~45% battery, then 40 minutes/~33% battery). The big headline: on a normal driveway with fresh-to-moderate snow, it’s surprisingly methodical, throws snow far enough to avoid big piles, and the auto-docking got rock solid after a few runs. I also tested the “real world pain point” stuff. When I manually drove it onto the public sidewalk with my phone, the deep, compact, icy plow/foot-traffic snow was a different story—it bogged down and needed help, which lines up with the idea that packed snow around 4 inches is its comfort zone. Then I swapped to the plow attachment and was honestly impressed: nearly an hour of plowing used only ~19% battery and scraped down close to bare asphalt, leaving cleaner results than the blower in spots. My verdict: Yarbo is peak lazy-homeowner tech (and I love it), but it’s not magic. It saves serious time, handles typical snowfalls well, needs good mapping, and you’ll still want a plan for the nasty, crusty end-of-driveway and sidewalk situations.
