Last updated: July 2026 · By AQVINA World — we stock both machines in this comparison, so we have no reason to tilt the verdict. Our only goal is matching you to the right tank.
The short answer: these are the only two tracked, wire-free robot mowers that matter in 2026, and they're built for different properties. The Lymow One Plus (from $2,999) is the value tank — brush-cutter power, dual rotary steel blades, and the steepest slope claim in autonomous mowing (45°/100%), best for rough, hilly, thick-grassed yards up to ~1.7 acres. The Yarbo (from $4,999) is the platform — wider cut, up to 6 acres weekly, and the swappable snow-blower and leaf-blower modules nothing else offers. Under 2 acres with no snow: Lymow. Bigger, or real winters: Yarbo.
Why tracks matter in the first place
Almost every robot mower rides on wheels — fine for flat suburban turf, hopeless on roots, gravel, soft soil, mole hills, and wet slopes. Tracks spread the machine's weight, grip loose ground, and crawl over obstacles (the Lymow clears 2.8-inch obstacles; independent testers watched it roll over branches and trampoline bars). If your yard is the kind that eats wheeled robots, these two machines are your shortlist — and we carry both precisely because "rough yard" is our customer.

Where the Lymow One Plus wins
Cutting violence. This is the honest word for it. Most robot mowers are "maintainers" — razor discs trimming millimeters daily. The Lymow's dual SK5 tool-steel rotary blades at 6,000 RPM with 1,785W peak power behave like a gas push mower: PCWorld's testing found tall, dense grass "barely fazes" it, and reviewers consistently note it shreds fallen leaves into mulch rather than pushing them around. If your lawn gets ahead of you — or gets buried in oak leaves every October — this cutting system is the category's best.
Slope claim — with an honesty asterisk. Lymow rates it 45° (100% grade), the boldest autonomous claim on the market and above Yarbo's 35°. Independent testing is more conservative: PCWorld verified reliable operation around 30°, other testers confirmed 40°+ on dry ground, and wet or saturated soil lowers every machine's real ceiling. Read it as: comfortably steeper than almost any wheeled robot, roughly Yarbo's league in practice. (Slopes past both machines belong to the remote-controlled Mowrator — see our slope-by-slope guide.)
Price, weight, and setup. At $2,999 it's $2,000 under the Yarbo, one adult can carry its 78.5 lb with the side handles, and typical setup is one to two hours versus Yarbo's half-day-plus. The LiFePO4 battery's 2,000+ cycle rating (roughly 5–7 years of service life versus 2–3 for typical Li-ion) is a quietly excellent long-term value spec.
Where the Yarbo wins
Acreage. A 20-inch deck and weekly 6-acre rating versus the Lymow's ~1.7-acre practical ceiling. Between 2 and 6 acres, the Yarbo is the only machine in this comparison — full stop.
The modules. The Lymow mows brilliantly; the Yarbo platform mows, then blows snow, then clears leaves — the Snow + Mower 2-module system is $6,199. If you get real winters, compare $2,999-for-mowing against $6,199-for-everything and the gap stops looking like a gap.
Maturity. Yarbo has years of production units, an active owner community, and an established parts/support pipeline. Lymow is a young company shipping its second generation — reviewers praise the re-engineering (the One Plus was rebuilt from first-gen feedback for its CES 2026 debut) but note the support and parts network is still proving itself. We back both with our own dealer support, which narrows this risk — but it's real, and we'd rather say so.
Bottom line
Buy the Lymow One Plus if: your property is under ~1.7 acres, steep or rough, thick-grassed or leaf-buried, and you want tracked capability at the lowest price it has ever existed. It's the best pure rough-yard mower per dollar we stock.
Buy the Yarbo if: you're above 2 acres, or the snow-and-leaf modules turn it into your year-round property machine. It costs more because it does more — and does it at scale.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Lymow One Plus better than the Yarbo?
For rough, steep, or overgrown yards under about 1.7 acres, the Lymow One Plus is the stronger value at $2,999 — tracked drive, dual rotary steel blades, and the boldest slope rating in autonomous mowing. Above 2 acres, or anywhere with real winters, the Yarbo wins with a 20-inch cut, 6-acre weekly capacity, and swappable snow-blower and leaf-blower modules.
How steep a slope can the Lymow One Plus really handle?
Lymow rates it at 45° (100% grade). Independent testing verified reliable operation around 30° with confirmed runs past 40° on dry ground — wet or loose soil reduces every mower's practical ceiling. In real-world terms it handles slopes in the same league as the Yarbo's 35° rating and beyond nearly all wheeled robots.
Can the Lymow One Plus mulch leaves?
Yes — its dual SK5 rotary blades at 6,000 RPM shred grass and fallen leaves into fine mulch, a genuine differentiator over razor-disc robots that push leaves around. For extremely heavy leaf fall, the Yarbo's dedicated leaf-blower module is the step up.
How long does Lymow One Plus setup take?
Typically one to two hours: charge, pair the app, mount the RTK reference station with clear sky view (about a 3,200 ft coverage radius), and walk the boundary in mapping mode. That's significantly faster than the Yarbo's half-day-plus installation.
Does the Lymow One Plus work on St. Augustine grass?
Yes — the high-torque rotary blade system is one of the best in the category for dense warm-season grasses like St. Augustine and Bermuda, with cutting heights up to 4 inches.
Is Lymow a reliable brand?
Lymow is a young company on its second-generation product; independent reviewers praise the One Plus's re-engineered hardware and LiFePO4 battery (2,000+ cycle rating) while noting the parts and support network is newer than established brands'. Buying through an authorized dealer with its own support — like AQVINA World — mitigates most of that risk.
