Claims vs reality

Where the brand’s marketing and its own small print don’t agree.

  • They sayYarbo's product page promises edge-to-edge cutting.

    In practiceYarbo also sells a separate trimmer module for edges, and a 500 mm deck on a tracked chassis can't reach tight corners. Plan on some edge work. Source

  • They sayYarbo rates it for 6 acres (25,000 m²).

    In practiceThat figure assumes mowing twice a week. Yarbo's own numbers work out at about 1,000 m² per charge, using an 80%-to-20% battery cycle. Source

Which version do you need?

Choose between the Y40 core with the mower module, the same bundle with the trimmer module added, or the mower module alone for an existing core. If you're buying a core from scratch, compare it with the Lawn Mower Pro bundle, which has stronger motors and a lower minimum cutting height.

How it navigates and sets up

The Yarbo Lawn Mower is a module for the Y40 core, Yarbo's tracked base unit that holds the 1,382.4 Wh battery, drive and navigation. With the module fitted it weighs 96.9 kg; the module alone is 30.9 kg. The same core can take a snow blower, leaf blower or trimmer, which is a big part of Yarbo's appeal.

Positioning uses RTK. The bundle's Data Center is a base station with an outdoor antenna, mounted high and wired to your router. Since August 2026, Yarbo has offered free network RTK where it has coverage, which removes the need for the base. Cameras, ultrasonic sensors and a bumper deal with obstacles, and Yarbo mentions an IMU and wheel odometry for dead reckoning. See our network RTK guide.

Yarbo rates it for 25,000 m² across a twice-weekly schedule and 70% slopes. For gardens split into several areas, check how the machine will travel between them; our complex gardens guide covers passages and multiple lawns.

Cutting

Two floating discs, each with five razor blades, give a 500 mm cut. Height runs from 30 mm to 102 mm. The two 150 W motors are half the power of the Pro's, so long or tough grass is more of a stretch. The IP rating is IPX5. Yarbo doesn't publish a noise figure.

App, connectivity and security

The Yarbo app handles up to 150 zones, no-go areas and schedules, with live camera view. It connects over Wi-Fi, HaLow via the Data Center, Bluetooth and 4G; 12 months of 4G service is included, then it's paid. Without 4G it still mows, but GPS tracking and remote access away from home stop. Yarbo has published security updates about its remote-diagnostic systems, which are worth reading.

Running costs, warranty and support

The warranty is 2 years on core and module, excluding blades, discs, tracks and antennas, based on Yarbo's EU terms. UK pricing wasn't available when we checked, so confirm the price, warranty and UK repair arrangements directly with Yarbo before ordering.

Yarbo Lawn Mower questions and answers

Will the Yarbo Lawn Mower cut right up to the lawn edges?

Not completely, whatever the marketing says. Yarbo's product page for the Yarbo Lawn Mower advertises edge-to-edge cutting, but Yarbo also sells a separate trimmer module designed to deal with edges, which tells you something.

The cutting deck is 500 mm wide, made up of two floating discs with five razor blades each, on a tracked chassis. That layout suits long straight runs, but it can't get into tight corners, around posts or alongside raised beds. Plan on some strimming, or budget for the trimmer module if you want the machine to handle more of that work. The cutting height runs from 30 mm to 102 mm. For blade types and replacement intervals, see our blades guide.

Is the Yarbo Lawn Mower overkill for an ordinary UK back garden?

For most back gardens, yes. The Yarbo Lawn Mower is a mowing module for Yarbo's tracked Y40 core, and it's built for plots measured in acres rather than a lawn of a few hundred square metres.

Yarbo rates it for 25,000 m², but that figure assumes mowing twice a week on a long schedule. Going by Yarbo's own runtime numbers it covers roughly 1,000 m² per charge, measured on an 80% to 20% battery cycle. Even so, a machine that size is designed around big open areas.

The physical size matters more in a small garden. With the module fitted it weighs 96.9 kg and cuts a 500 mm strip. A deck that wide on a tracked chassis struggles to reach tight corners and narrow strips beside beds, and it needs somewhere to live and a route between lawn areas. It also comes with an RTK station to mount and wire in. Yarbo hasn't published UK prices we could confirm, but its other stores list it at several times the cost of a typical garden robot mower.

Where it makes sense is a large, rough or sloping plot, especially if you'd also use the snow blower or leaf blower modules on the same core. For a typical lawn, use our lawn size tool and look at mowers rated closer to your area, or read our complex gardens guide if your garden has several separate sections.

More questions

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the Yarbo Lawn Mower and Lawn Mower Pro?

Both fit the same Y40 core and have a 500 mm cut and 70% slope rating. The Pro has two 300 W cutting motors against two 150 W, cuts as low as 20 mm against 30 mm, and has an IPX6 rating rather than IPX5.

How much does it cost in the UK?

UK pricing wasn't available when we checked, because Yarbo's UK store blocked our automated checks. Its European and US stores show it costing several times as much as typical robot mowers.

Can the mower work without the Data Center base station?

Yes, if Yarbo's free network RTK covers your address, which you can check in the app. The base station and network RTK can't be used at the same time, and switching between them means recalibrating the map.
