Man uses $4,999 autonomous snow blower to clear his driveway during winter storm: 'I'm inside sipping a coffee'

"Americans pushed snow blowers and dug through mounds of snow with shovels after this past weekend's winter storm. An EV battery reviewer was able to watch his autonomous snow blower clear his driveway from the warmth of his home. The 230-pound Yarbo Snow Blower, which retails for $4,999, can chuck snow over 40 feet and charges in an hour and a half."

"Moloughney is a certified techie, host of the State of Charge YouTube channel and a senior editor at InsideEVs. He's been reviewing a $4,999 autonomous snow blower from robotics company Yarbo. The storm dumped about six inches of snow in Moloughney's town over 24 hours, according to the National Weather Service. It was the perfect opportunity to give the bot a whirl."

A massive winter storm swept the country with freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall, prompting millions to shovel and use snow blowers. An EV battery reviewer monitored his nearly 230-pound Yarbo autonomous snow blower clearing his long New Jersey driveway via Wi‑Fi while staying inside. The Yarbo Snow Blower retails for $4,999, can chuck snow over 40 feet, and charges in about an hour and a half. The storm dropped roughly six inches in Moloughney's town, creating a real-world test for clearing an approximately 6,000 sq.ft. driveway. Video shows the robot clearing driveways, walkways, and a curved garage area and returning to its charging pad when the battery ran low.
