SNOWBOT is the world's FIRST ROBOT SNOWBLOWER! Like Roomba for your Driveway. But is it up to the job? See how it worked for me & my thoughts on this groundbreaking Snowblower powered by a battery.
Snowbot loaned me with his machine at no charge. No commissions, scripts or requirements were part of this video.

Every request has been ignored - Instead they are working with channels that don't review equipment, all sponsored of course to be sure of the outcome.

My Toro 4 stroke single stage would self propel faster than I could walk if I tipped it forward by lifting the handle slightly, the rotating rubber snow blades would grab the driveway and propel the unit forward. It’s not that heavy either. I’m a small (unfit) guy and can carry it up the stairs to clear a large deck in the back of the house. So snowblowers don’t need to be ‘heavy’ to do a good job.

All you really need is a single stage for about 80% of snowstorms, for the other 20% you might have to hit it twice to get good results! I have 2 Honda snowblowers, a single stage one i purchased like 10 years ago and this past summer i purchased a 2 stage Honda (20+ year: old) with the track drive for 200 bucks what a steal almost zero rust dude had a heated garage and cleaned after each use, i still use the single stage more often but when that huge storm comes the big Honda is great!

I think that the size of the device is not the issue, but, rather, how it is constructed. I am convinced that a good snowplow needs to function less like a conventional snowplow and to function, at least in its first part, anyway, like a vacuum cleaner, as ice that would be sucked into the machine could then be immediately transported to the blower part of the snowplow. However, after that step and device are both done, a trio of devices could be used, namely, a laser that goes across the sidewalk, or area that is covered in ice, or a device that is a bunch of ice hammers and blades that alternate hitting the sidewalk, though I think that the laser ice removal device would be easier to build, and, after the ice is removed, it could be heated with a device that functions like a drying function of a dishwasher, and the third device can completely dry off the area to the point where there is not even the option to have black ice on the area that the snow and ice were removed from in the first place.

As soon as you introduced it, I knew it was a failure, and for all the reasons you mentioned. We had our first substantial snow in two years this weekend (22 inches), and my old Toro 622 had problems with the depth. Even though the snow was light and fluffy, it still took 5 hours to clear the driveway. I really had to wrangle with the machine (which was still considerably better than just shoveling!). A robot machine would have just died. Period. Thank you for panning the technology!

@scottm5342 2 жыл бұрын

I understand the "depth" issue, however...just thinking out loud here: What if these (future design) "roblowers" were trained to learn the perimeter AND they are sent out DURING the storm? By this I mean: Why wait until the storm is over? (Future thinking here) As soon as the local weather station reports at least 1" (or 25.4mm) of snow has fallen...my "RoBlower" (my made up name...don't steal it! :) is sent out to start cleaning the driveway. Maybe it keeps snowing? Ok...it goes back and does it again after getting the signal... Running out of watts? It gets sent to the recharge station. It keeps repeating this until the storm is done. * By having my RoBlower go out in multiple passes, it mitigates the depth issue. * R Rad, I don't deny the technology is not here (yet) but there were a LOT of people around the world trying to make an airplane...they all made mistakes...and some people actually made it work. :)

@TheVermontrules Жыл бұрын

If you go to the website for the robot, it is not designed to snowblow 2 feet of snow. If you use the app and program it correctly, it’s fully autonomous and supposed to go out multiple times during the storm and do a little at a time, so your driveways stays clear. I’m not saying this particular model works, but it’s a good idea and I’m sure they’ll be in use in the next few years.

The main problem seemed to be ground clearance issues with the undercarriage getting hung up on snow. When you look at a conventional tracked snow blower, there's up to 4 to 5 inches of clearance between the rear chassis and the ground. The company should look at the spacing of modern military tanks as an example of chassis spacing and clearances.

You do not realize it, but you put a tremendous amount stress on your heart shoveling in the cold. Believe it or not when they get this machine right, it will save countless lives, and no one will realize it.

I can actually see this thing work if you leave it out there blowing back and forth as soon as you see couple inches on the ground. The trick with something like this is since it is doing all the work just leave the thing outside blowing continuously and swap the battery whenever it runs out.

Their entire new campaign has been a failure. They promised everyone a delivery in November, last month. They showed pictures of it being boxed up and people bought into this. Nothing was delivered, the usual BS lockdown excuse, shipping issues, all after no communications for a month. Now they say the machine has problems and will be shipped far into the future. But of course they continue to take orders. I would stay as far away from this company as possible.

Haha. I love your videos. That was entertaining. I would love one of those for my driveway but maybe by version 20 it will work in MN. Do you think it would throw wood chips? I have a bunch of wood chips down that I wanted to move. Maybe it would vacuum those up and shoot it into a wheel barrow or trailer for me? #videoidea

@otisshaw1 Жыл бұрын

I’m curious if you set it to auto and send it out when you get a half inch, so as it’s clearing it stays up with the storm?

@SilverCymbal Жыл бұрын

The problem is what do you set, you will never know when the storm will start, if its the middle of the night etc. You can't schedule it and the battery couldn't keep up if the storm was more than an hour. So proactive doesn't really work like it can with a lawn robot on a set schedule. Sadly this company has shown me with their new company name Yarbo that this is all a cash grab. Till this day I have not seen a product work properly. Lots of BS ads, CGI very short clips. I love tech but until I see one of these that can perform I would never recommend putting money up for this. There is a terrible pattern happening with yard robots now, all cash grabs and NO deliveries in years with people losing their money. Sad really!

Bigger beefy wheels , larger battery platform for lower center of gravity , larger blades ( should do the trick). Honestly they should double the size of the unit ( add more weight to it which will give it better traction )

Gas powered and some added weight for traction would be improvements I would consider. With a gas engine it may limit where you could sell these (i.e. not in California). My 2 stroke snow thrower and John Deere lawn tractor (4 stroke) are the last gas powered lawn equipment pieces I have - everything else is battery powered so I'm not a battery powered "hater" though the sheer amount of load and power demands for a battery powered piece of equipment like this is going to be a major design challenge.

I have a 250 foot long, horseshoe, concrete driveway that had a sharp incline (my house is 18' above street level). The former owner installed a heating system under the driveway, but it never worked correctly. I would love to buy a Snowbot or anything similiar that works and will solve my winter-time driveway headaches.

Even beyond the video I tried it over and over and it just doesn't have enough downward weight and pushing power. The second the snow is wet at all, even tiny amounts it just remained stuck. What's even more disturbing is that the final version looks to be all plastic, which means lighter. Not good for snow removal.

Try one or two sand bags on top. The lithium batteries are too light. Few years back, girl in 1/2 ton pickup with bald all season tires in back was stuck in the snow on side street. I suggested need weight over rear axle. It only required 4 adults standing on the bumper holding the tail gate. She drove out to the main street like a Sunday drive without a concern in the world. Yah! traction works everytime.

Using the snowblower is so fun that it doesn't seem like a problem to me lol. But anyone that used a snowblower will know that there is so much manual intervention needed that I just don't see a bot happening. The cost, size, and weight, to overcome the manual input is just going to be insane.
