# LG CLOiD review

LG's chore humanoid from CES 2026; real home trials first, no sale date

- Our score: not scored yet
- Price: n/a (checked n/a)
- Status: announced
- 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
- HTML version: https://robotsforthat.com/robot/lg-cloid/

## Verdict

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.

## Pros

- Backed by a major appliance maker
- Five fingered hands and 7 DoF arms
- Tip resistant wheeled base from LG vacuum tech

## Cons

- No price, specs sheet or launch date
- Engadget saw it move very slowly
- Next step is only a feasibility demonstration
