What reviewers found
KEYi Tech Loona Petbot Premium
- TechCrunch: Praised the clever, durable design and charm, but voice commands worked about half the time, vision recognition was unreliable and it sometimes got stuck on furniture. Fun for kids but rough around the edges. Source
- Mashable: Hands on at CES 2025: Loona roamed the floor, played fetch, answered a question conversationally and generated a simple picture on request. The reviewer wanted more detail on data handling before using it with children. Source
TangibleFuture LOOI
- Impulse Gamer (4): Fun and cute desk robot the reviewer's family loved, but it struggled to hear commands with the TV on, obstacle avoidance was weaker in the dark, recognition was hit and miss and it is pricey given it relies on your phone. Source
- techbuzzireland: Charming, expressive and safe on the desk thanks to edge detection; it can be buggy and rambling at first, though updates over several weeks improved it. Source
