So satisfying! I would sit in my house and drink coffee nice and cozy and warm watching from the window while that little bugger does the work on my driveway. How fun!
Looks like a fun tool if you have little snow. I just finished blowing snow our light snow over night just two feet and drifts up to three. 10 1/2 HP and had to run it in first gear and do some spill out clean up. I think I’d still be searching with my shovel to find this thing. I live on the plains of Canada 🇨🇦.
@wocookie2277 just think you could've woken up to a cleared drive with a yarbo! It'd work all night long to keep clearing the snow as it falls. Idk where you are in Canada and how much annual snowfall is there. In Silverthorne, CO at 9000ft elevation where this was filmed it averages 13.1ft/yr. 😏
@ it’s a dream to actually find a robot to do my driveway. 1600 sqft and takes about an hour when over a foot deep with a $1700 snowblower. And my drift cutters are four feet high and I use them them yearly. Would be handy in Ontario or the west coast. But our snow drifts get hard enough you can ride a quad over without sinking no problem.
How about the ability to tune the area to be cleared? Adjusting the right side of the drive (looking at the house) and having it get tight to the garage door.
yes, that is fully programable when you set up the boundaries. We intentionally did not get close to the garage doors on this video because there was a 6in thick ice mound from snow melt from the little decorative roof above the garage.
Ya call that a snowstorm? Here in Newfoundland we call that Monday, we just had a snowstorm and it dropped 36 inches of snow, that little thing wouldn't stand a chance!
Per a generic google search Newfoundland averages 9.8ft of snowfall/yr. In Silverthorne, CO at 9000ft elevation where this was filmed it averages 13.1ft/yr. Not that different! 😏
The point is, it works on it's own, so it can be sent out multiple times to stay ahead of the storm. Yeah, if you had to get up 4 times during the night to run it, or use a lesser snow blower, it would be a pain. But you don't - set it and forget it. My bigger concern would be the ease with which someone could steal it!
Heck I'm in Colorado and was thinking the same thing, That was barely any snow at all. I understand it can o out many times but depending on how long the charge cycle is, it may run into well over a foot of snow. I'd like to see it with some more impressive snow depths.
Very interesting. I spent a few years shoveling snow before I moved to warmer climates where this is not an issue. Part of me is impressed, part of me is concerned. Snowblowers are sort of dangerous. Pets, pet chains, leases, snowplows shovels, bown debris, and more could cause an issue for the snowblower. Shoveling snow can be dangerous too; slips falls, broken bones, hurt backs so these could be real benefits. The little vaccums cleans roombas have been very popular, in a few years maybe a bunch of people will have these. These could be real beneficial for larger snow removal companies that need parking lots cleared. If something like his were outfitted with gas power, or multiple changable battery packs, -so it can keep on working- it could clear a large locations like a shopping center or school continuously saving a lot of money on manual plowing. Putting in Electric heat and heating the driveway is expensive on the power bill, but cheap compared to the cost of hiring it done each time.
It's designed to work in the cold and special treatment is done to keep the battery happy when its subzero. More info on the battery can be found on their website.
Also, it takes a super long time for batteries to come down to temperature that is ambient. It doesn't have to be stored out in the cold when you're not using it. And a little bit of heat is generated when you are.
So what happens when it’s out working and it’s still snowing and the charging station gets covered with snow and it needs to recharge? How does it get any juice when the charger is all blocked up? Just asking.
I remember this part of Silverthorne before this development was annexed, It supported elk, deer and moose herds. Now it supports parking lots and cars.
Gonna be doing some research. This would have to be heavy for multiple reasons. One of which I could see some thieves in many areas like mine stealing these easier than cat converters. It seems like it would way more effective being larger. Maybe not quite the size but definitely larger. Seriously considering this for my mom.
Nice video thanks! Seem that the tech is all there, but still needs more brute power to tackle the places that someone would've spent almost 7k CAD on it. For the same price, you can buy a lawn tractor with the snowblower attachement and clear that easy, and use the tractor all other 3 seasons ( just like yarbo proposes)
@graffix11us its electric so quieter than a gas snowblower. Probably about as loud as a plow truck plowing. dont get me wrong, its not quiet but I dont find it obtrusive
The problem with snow blowers is (usually) after the snow is blown there remains a little layer of ice that is more slippery to walk on than the snow was.
@@NaterTater Stupid statement. Half the homes in the area have drives on the north side of the house that does not see the sun. I know, I'm drive a Cat loader with a 14" snow blade in Silverthorne.
After nearly 50 years in Summit County...It's scary how the new locals call these squalls and dustings of snow...meaning anything under a foot...is therefore, "A blizzard" --- A blizzard, truthfully --- is 3 to 6 feet overnight, with whiteout conditions for multiple hours ...not 8 or 9 inches!
@SummitAggregates en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard "In the United States, the National Weather Service defines a blizzard as a severe snow storm characterized by strong winds causing blowing snow that results in low visibilities. The difference between a blizzard and a snowstorm is the strength of the wind, not the amount of snow. To be a blizzard, a snow storm must have sustained winds or frequent gusts that are greater than or equal to 56 km/h (35 mph) with blowing or drifting snow which reduces visibility to 400 m or 0.25 mi or less and must last for a prolonged period of time-typically three hours or more.[1][2]"
@NaterTater there are a few people DUMB enough to believe anything the internet says, as it relates to the mountains --- congratulations...you live in the newest part of Silverthorne...are running a six thousand dollar snowblower for a driveway you could almost shovel faster...let alone have plowed...but isn't really worth it, as tiny as it is...you are probably a local...thankfully...I'm a native...and don't need to be a Yocal-local...only a GOONBAH...would cite Wikipedia about Summit County...probably a California transplant!
Living The Life -- You've got it going on.!! What are the practical limits.?? Time on task.? Time to recharge,? Snow depth.? Will it track it's position close enough to always have sufficient power to get "home" to recharge.? I would NOT want to have to push that thing back to its recharge station.!!!
It can run for well over an hour on a charge and can eat a foot of dry snow in one go but its best to tackle the snow every 3 or so inches for the best performance (which is actually easy to do when its autonomous!). It automatically returns to the charger before it runs out of battery. And if it was in the middle of a job, it will go back out and finish once the battery gets back charged.
Wow, Nate! SO much hate for a SNOWBLOWER video?! The idiots that want to keep their heads in the sand and pretend progress and development can't come to THEIR little part of the world need to grow up or should just move. Silverthorne IS still a beautiful place, and a few extra condos won't ruin it. My biggest negative is the price, but that will come down with time. New tech is always costly for early adopters!
This device is great & all, but as a kid I used to shovel snow for $$, all around my neighborhood. This gave me a considerably strong body at a young age, which is why I went on to have such a successful wrestling career in Jr HS/HS. People today who have all of these trinkets & creature comforts, will be fat, weak & completely incapable of doing anything for themselves when all of the power goes out. Trust me when I say this, the power WILL be going out before November 5th. Be ready. & Be strong!

For $7,500 you can buy a decent gas powered blower that will clear much deeper snow throw it much further and dosent need charging . ev cars in winter lol not even a smart idea if you think your going far on a charge better plan a very long time schedule . your ev car in the winter half the charge is used just for heaters defrosters lights alone so you dont go far .
Gas - how 1980's of you! I have completely converted ALL of my tools, big and small, to battery powered. No gas, no maintenance, no tune ups, no exhaust smell on my clothes, hair and shoes. And I don't have a potential bomb in my garage any longer. No going back! I agree the price is too high, but like all tech, it will come down.
@dvljet I tried a good electric leaf blower--I didn't try to go cheap. It worked great, but only for about 13 minutes. I even used it through a few charge cycles in case it would straighten out. No luck. Returned it and bought another gas-powered unit. I need it to work, and I need to be able to finish the job. Sure, I have a battery-powered drill, but I didn't get it to replace my gas-powered drill. Additionally, don't have a bomb in my garage plugged in overnight. Just sayin'.
@@PhoneRanger-ij4wc You didn't buy a good leaf blower then. I have the Ryobi Expand-it tools. They have one head power unit, and a variety of plug and play tools like a leaf blower, string trimmer, pole saw, hedge trimmer (I own those 4.) and dozens of others. I can hedge trim, use the pole saw to cut thicker branches, then the blower all on one 6ah battery, over 90 minutes. I've never run the blower long enough to come close to draining a battery. I also have Ryobi's 14" chain saw, push mower, 42" riding mower (With a snow plow) and 22" 2 stage snow blower. All have interchangeable 40V batteries, so I have virtually unlimited run time. All the tools work extremely well except the pole saw, which clogs up too easily. Lithium batteries rarely blow up unless abused. They are either cheap Chinese brands, or idiots are trying to get more power out of them. Like gas, if properly stored and handled, they are perfectly safe. But if I ever have a house fire, I'd rather have a bunch of lithium batteries in my garage than a container of gas for my mower/snowblower/string trimmer, etc.
That thing should be able to park itself in the garage. Even open and close the garage door on it's own. Why does it need to sit outside??? Build it a dog house. lol
"Beautiful" Silverthorne, Colorado? I've lived here in the area for almost half a century and what the short sighted town council and commissioners have done to the town is criminal. Turned a once peaceful fun town into a shithole of condos, hotels, parking garages, and the like. And what is it with all the flat roofs in the ongoing construction? This is supposed to be an alpine environment and yet all the new commercial and residential building all heve flat roofs. WTF? Countless traffic lights (all untimed), congestion, crime, you name it. So if you really wan't to stretch your imaginationa and call this "beautiful", be my guest.
So many people there are bitter and rather vicious towards anything new, completely ignoring the fact that they can leave whenever they want if it’s too much to handle
If I was your neighbor it'd be like having a crack or a meth head next door working on their shirt starting at 2 in the morning and going all night. Blower running, lights on running back and forth like a 24-hour job site. has your neighbor ever mowed his grass at 3:00 a.m? did you think it was awesome? How long does that thing keep up with a two or three inch an hour storm that goes all night? It would be handy as a Suburbia toy if you had a small perfect concrete driveway or some type of sidewalk I could work on . Shovels are cheap and they provide good exercise. Lol
Spending hours plowing the driveway isn't exactly good time management. We already have effective technology for that task , shovel or radiant heat, pick one.
Pro tip, why bother clearing the driveway? I bought a 4wd truck so I don’t have to shovel, just drive out. If it is so bad I can’t get the truck out, everything is shut down anyway. I would have spent the money on a nice vacation to a beach destination instead😂
@@rustneversleeps01 My driveway is two cars wide, 60 feet long. It is about a mile of road that isn’t plowed/serviced by the city to get to a street that is. Spent 18 K on the truck 2015 Tacoma (purchased 2016) It serves multiple functions, commuting, hauling for property clean up and materials for property improvement and gets me up into the mountains for outdoor recreation. 4WD allows me to get away from the crowds, the Subaru drivers and their yippy dogs.
@@kevindowell6003 Pro tip. I also have big 4th trucks that laugh at snow, and clear my driveway and sidewalk religiously. Letting snow sit all winter is a fools game, it warms and almost melts and refreeze, or sits and get snowed on again, if you haven’t already you WILL fall. Nope. Plus it’s relaxing to go out with a snowblower and clear, it’s like men’s zen. That’s why we have power tools. You let your grass grow uncut too?
@@wyo_garage20 Foremost my post was intended to be tongue in cheek and not taken too seriously. Sometimes humor is lost in text. And there are other factors that come into play that may not be present for everyone. I get enough snow, but not as much as others deeper in the mountains. Also My driveway faces east and has clear exposure on the south side so it gets a good dose of sun. From the middle it slopes to either side and slopes away from the garage to the street, so excellent drainage and clearing. I don’t have snow on my driveway all winter. I never have to walk on the driveway, I access my garage from the house. The driveway connects to a road that doesn’t have a sidewalk. I would be at greater risk falling shoveling or using a snowblower, walking on the snow, than never walking on the driveway. I shovel my front walk to the sidewalk and the sidewalk because people walk on it and don’t want anyone to fall. I would rather shovel, now that is a man’s Zen physical activity instead of reliance on a machine, that would cheat myself of the activity and time out in the weather that is enjoyable. Even though I have a chainsaw, I prefer to use an axe and saw to manage the trees on my property. I have it dialed in pretty good with the variety of grasses and clover in my yard, my water and nutrient schedule so that the grass is green but only needs to be mowed every other week. When I mow, (I think my lawn is about .7 acre haven’t ever officially measured it) I use a push reel mower. For the same reason I shovel, I enjoy the activity. There is no need or benefit to clearing my driveway, I can use that time for something else, which often includes a nice walk or a hot cup of coffee enjoying the sunrise, building snowmen, snowball fights with the kids, now grandkids. I enjoy work, but I don’t see the point in unnecessary work. Nor do I see the point of spending money for something that I don’t need. As I age, I imagine I will get to the point a snowblower becomes the best choice, I hope I live long enough a robotic snow blower is desired. But until then I will still poke a little fun just because that is my nature, I will enjoy the manual physical aspect of maintaining my property and enjoy my time that I have because I am thoughtful about what work needs to be done, versus what would just be busy work, enjoy my money by not spending it on things that don’t enhance my life instead spend it on something that does. If the novelty of a robotic blower enhances someone’s life, good for them. If you enjoy the snowblower instead of manually shoveling, good for you. So pro tip, sometimes people are just having a little fun with their posts

The point is that this is automatic. You can have it running from when the snow starts until it ends. That means it will never have to deal with "real depth" since you're not going to wait for the storm to end.

Like gas, if properly stored and handled, they are perfectly safe. But if I ever have a house fire, I'd rather have a bunch of lithium batteries in my garage than a container of gas for my mower/snowblower/string trimmer, etc.
it will only cost you one leg and one kidney
@@TheMusicHeals.kjhjhhg same as 2yrs of snow removal service.
That thing should be able to park itself in the garage. Even open and close the garage door on it's own. Why does it need to sit outside??? Build it a dog house. lol

Less than 2inches WOW
"Beautiful" Silverthorne, Colorado? I've lived here in the area for almost half a century and what the short sighted town council and commissioners have done to the town is criminal. Turned a once peaceful fun town into a shithole of condos, hotels, parking garages, and the like. And what is it with all the flat roofs in the ongoing construction? This is supposed to be an alpine environment and yet all the new commercial and residential building all heve flat roofs. WTF? Countless traffic lights (all untimed), congestion, crime, you name it. So if you really wan't to stretch your imaginationa and call this "beautiful", be my guest.
“Yea it’s so terrible that other people can live here, this town is for me and me only!”
So many people there are bitter and rather vicious towards anything new, completely ignoring the fact that they can leave whenever they want if it’s too much to handle
Heat driveway and walks..... fix all that
that's slightly more expensive...
@NaterTater not as bad as you might think.....
If I was your neighbor it'd be like having a crack or a meth head next door working on their shirt starting at 2 in the morning and going all night. Blower running, lights on running back and forth like a 24-hour job site. has your neighbor ever mowed his grass at 3:00 a.m? did you think it was awesome? How long does that thing keep up with a two or three inch an hour storm that goes all night?
It would be handy as a Suburbia toy if you had a small perfect concrete driveway or some type of sidewalk I could work on . Shovels are cheap and they provide good exercise. Lol
Ridiculous - yet hilarious.
two words.... Heated Driveway.
two words.... Existing Driveway.
Can only do 3 inches at a time. no thanks.
@DManGrand it can do more but with it being automous it makes sense to send it out more often.
Spending hours plowing the driveway isn't exactly good time management. We already have effective technology for that task , shovel or radiant heat, pick one.
that's the beauty of this, YOU don't spend time shoveling or plowing. The robot does!
Pro tip, why bother clearing the driveway? I bought a 4wd truck so I don’t have to shovel, just drive out. If it is so bad I can’t get the truck out, everything is shut down anyway. I would have spent the money on a nice vacation to a beach destination instead😂
@kevindowell6003 how much did you spend on truck ? Is it diesel?
How long is your driveway ?
@@rustneversleeps01 My driveway is two cars wide, 60 feet long. It is about a mile of road that isn’t plowed/serviced by the city to get to a street that is. Spent 18 K on the truck 2015 Tacoma (purchased 2016) It serves multiple functions, commuting, hauling for property clean up and materials for property improvement and gets me up into the mountains for outdoor recreation. 4WD allows me to get away from the crowds, the Subaru drivers and their yippy dogs.
@@kevindowell6003 Pro tip. I also have big 4th trucks that laugh at snow, and clear my driveway and sidewalk religiously. Letting snow sit all winter is a fools game, it warms and almost melts and refreeze, or sits and get snowed on again, if you haven’t already you WILL fall. Nope. Plus it’s relaxing to go out with a snowblower and clear, it’s like men’s zen. That’s why we have power tools.
You let your grass grow uncut too?
@@wyo_garage20 Foremost my post was intended to be tongue in cheek and not taken too seriously. Sometimes humor is lost in text. And there are other factors that come into play that may not be present for everyone. I get enough snow, but not as much as others deeper in the mountains. Also My driveway faces east and has clear exposure on the south side so it gets a good dose of sun. From the middle it slopes to either side and slopes away from the garage to the street, so excellent drainage and clearing. I don’t have snow on my driveway all winter. I never have to walk on the driveway, I access my garage from the house. The driveway connects to a road that doesn’t have a sidewalk. I would be at greater risk falling shoveling or using a snowblower, walking on the snow, than never walking on the driveway. I shovel my front walk to the sidewalk and the sidewalk because people walk on it and don’t want anyone to fall. I would rather shovel, now that is a man’s Zen physical activity instead of reliance on a machine, that would cheat myself of the activity and time out in the weather that is enjoyable. Even though I have a chainsaw, I prefer to use an axe and saw to manage the trees on my property. I have it dialed in pretty good with the variety of grasses and clover in my yard, my water and nutrient schedule so that the grass is green but only needs to be mowed every other week. When I mow, (I think my lawn is about .7 acre haven’t ever officially measured it) I use a push reel mower. For the same reason I shovel, I enjoy the activity. There is no need or benefit to clearing my driveway, I can use that time for something else, which often includes a nice walk or a hot cup of coffee enjoying the sunrise, building snowmen, snowball fights with the kids, now grandkids. I enjoy work, but I don’t see the point in unnecessary work. Nor do I see the point of spending money for something that I don’t need. As I age, I imagine I will get to the point a snowblower becomes the best choice, I hope I live long enough a robotic snow blower is desired. But until then I will still poke a little fun just because that is my nature, I will enjoy the manual physical aspect of maintaining my property and enjoy my time that I have because I am thoughtful about what work needs to be done, versus what would just be busy work, enjoy my money by not spending it on things that don’t enhance my life instead spend it on something that does. If the novelty of a robotic blower enhances someone’s life, good for them. If you enjoy the snowblower instead of manually shoveling, good for you. So pro tip, sometimes people are just having a little fun with their posts

Lolz...show some real depth....
The point is that this is automatic. You can have it running from when the snow starts until it ends. That means it will never have to deal with "real depth" since you're not going to wait for the storm to end.
