Our verdict
NEO is the closest thing to a buyable home humanoid, but it is still a pre-order. Treat the deposit as a place in the queue, not a purchase, and read our home humanoid guide on privacy before committing.
What we like
- Designed for homes, with a soft, light body
- Refundable deposit
- Built for homes: soft lattice body, no pinch points at the joints, washable knit suit
- Ownership includes a 3-year warranty, and the $200 deposit is refundable
- Strong lifting for its weight and a 4-hour battery
- Designed specifically for homes: soft body, quiet operation claimed at 22 dB
What to know
- Unfamiliar tasks may be guided by remote human operators
- Not yet proven in customers' homes
- Not yet independently shown working autonomously in customers' homes
- Remote 1X operators can see through its cameras during Expert Mode sessions
- US only; 1X points to other markets from 2027
