LG CLOiD
LG's chore humanoid from CES 2026; real home trials first, no sale date
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 16, 2026
SCORED
CLOiD shows a major appliance maker taking home humanoids seriously, with five fingered hands and ThinQ integration. Engadget saw a slow, tightly scripted demo, and LG has committed only to further trials. It is a concept to watch, not a product to plan for.
Best for: LG ThinQ households curious where appliance makers are heading. Skip if: You want to buy a home robot in the next couple of years.

What independent reviewers found
