Loona Petbot vs EMO
One drives around your floor, the other walks on your desk. That single difference decides almost everything else.
Read the full write-up on Loona Petbot and EMO, with the reviews, the running costs and who each one is for.
Which one to buy
Choose Loona Petbot if
you have floor space and want a robot that lives in the room with you, comes when it sees you, and puts itself back on its dock.
Choose EMO if
the robot has to stay on a desk, stay quiet, and cost a little over half as much.
Both lean on the internet for the talking part, and neither is built to survive a fall from table height. Loona is the noisier of the two and still misses its dock sometimes. EMO in its base version has to be lifted onto its charger by hand, and the power adapter is not in the box.
