## Verdict

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.
