What reviewers found
Enabot ROLA PetPal
- PetsRadar: After seven months of testing: about 10 minute setup, works without a plan, but some features need a subscription from $6 per month, attachments are pricey and the app sometimes needed a robot restart to connect. Source
- Digital Camera World: Superb image quality with a slight purple tint, returned to its dock about 90 percent of the time, but has no home mapping, bumps into furniture, cannot climb stairs and puts smart alerts behind a $6 to $32 per month plan. Source
Yukai Engineering Qoobo
- Digital Trends: Used Qoobo and Petit Qoobo each evening; the battery lasted about a week with that use. Found stroking it relaxing and the coats washable, but called its personality more hamster than dog and said it will not satisfy anyone wanting a real relationship with a robot. Prices then were $150 for Qoobo and about $80 for Petit Qoobo. Source
- Gizmodo: Tested a prototype: the tail wagged in response to petting and the cushion was easy to care for and comforting, but the reviewer said it does not give the companionship of a real cat. The prototype's batteries died during testing; Yukai said production units would be rechargeable. Source
