We started tracking this price on Oct 26, 2026 and have not found a past sale price yet, so we cannot say if $429 is a good deal. Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026, 31 days away, when robots in this category usually get their biggest cuts. Get a price drop alert.
Loona is the most lively robot pet under $500, with a playful wheeled body, an expressive face and free GPT chat. It suits families with kids who want a robot that roams the floor, plays games and teaches basic coding. Skip it if you want long play sessions, since it needs its dock after an hour or two, or if a camera robot roaming your home worries you.
Best for: families with kids who want an active robot pet. Skip if: you want long play sessions or no roaming camera.

What independent reviewers found
- Praised the clever, durable design and charm, but voice commands worked about half the time, vision recognition was unreliable and it sometimes got stuck on furniture. Fun for kids but rough around the edges.
- TechCrunch
- Hands on at CES 2025: Loona roamed the floor, played fetch, answered a question conversationally and generated a simple picture on request. The reviewer wanted more detail on data handling before using it with children.
