EBO Air 2 is a fun, cheap way to drive around the house, talk to a pet and tease it with the laser while you are away. Skip it if you want real home security, since reviewers called it closer to a remote control car and found docking and thick rugs hit and miss.

Eilik is a low cost, fully offline desk toy for anyone who wants a cute character that reacts to touch and needs no account, app or subscription. Skip it if you want a robot that talks, moves around or does anything useful, or if a 90 day warranty feels too short.

What reviewers found
Enabot EBO Air 2
- Digital Camera World: Good 2K wide angle camera, cute programmable eyes and a pet laser, but preset actions were fiddly, the app was not intuitive and the patrol seemed random. Rated features 4/5, design 4/5, performance 3/5, value 4/5. Source
- NationalWorld: Better image and night vision than the original Air and impressive battery life, but it got stuck on thick rugs, docking was hit and miss and the reviewer saw it as more of a fun toy than CCTV. Source
Energize Lab Eilik
- Goally (4/5): Hands on use with games, jokes and dance parties lifted the reviewer's mood for as long as the roughly 90 minute battery lasted; reviewer was skeptical of emotional claims. Note that Goally sells a competing kids tablet. Source
- Gagadget: Named Best Desk Toy in a five robot roundup for its touch responses and multi robot play; drawbacks were no voice control and recharging about every 1.5 hours. Source
