Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 16, 2026
SCORED
Flourish 1 is the lowest priced home helper robot on this list and is upfront about being slow and simple. It only handles light items and tasks you teach it yourself, from a brand new company with no independent testing. Worth a look for tinkerers with $3,555 to spare; most families should wait for reviews.
Best for: Tinkerers and busy parents who want a cheap robot for simple, repeatable pickup chores. Skip if: You need dishes, heavy items or stairs handled, or want a proven company.

How do I teach it a chore?
Flourish says you show it the task with your phone in about 30 minutes, repeating it from a few spots in the room, then it can do it on its own or on a schedule.
Can it do dishes?
Not yet. The Robot Report says it is not suited to dishes; Forbes reports dishwasher loading is in the press release and unloading is planned.
Are there ongoing costs?
Six months of cloud AI is included, then $50 per month if you keep it, or you can use your own GPU.
