Buying advice

Treat discontinued listings as a sourcing warning

Some products on this page are listed as discontinued, including Microsoft HoloLens 2 and the Humane AI Pin, while others such as the Friend AI Necklace are still on pre-order. That spread shows how quickly consumer-tech makers change course. Before committing, look at how a maker treated owners of products it has already retired, and whether a larger company now controls the brand, as with Humane under HP. A device bought late in its life may keep working for a while, but spare parts and app support tend to disappear first. At the October 2026 check, the cheapest priced listing was the Bee AI Pendant, near $49, and the costliest was the Moley Robotics X-AiR, near $105,000, and ten more needed a quote.

Buy through a channel with a local importer

Ordering a gadget straight from an overseas seller can leave you with nobody accountable in your own market. In the EU, Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on market surveillance requires many electronic products to have an economic operator established in the Union who holds the compliance documents and answers to the authorities. In the United States, 47 CFR Part 15 requires most radio devices to be authorized through certification or a supplier's declaration of conformity before they are marketed. Ask each maker which importer or distributor covers your country, and check that the exact model you are buying, not just its product family, carries the right authorization.

Ask where to report a security flaw

The EU Cyber Resilience Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, requires makers of products with digital elements to handle vulnerabilities and to give users a point of contact for reporting them. Use that as a test for any maker on this page, wherever you are based. Ask where security issues should be reported, how fixes are announced and whether business buyers hear in advance before a cloud service is changed or switched off. For haptic gloves, robotic hands and grippers bought for labs or product teams, also ask whether the software development kit is published under a license that lets you keep using it if the maker leaves the product line.

What to look for

How long the maker promises software and security updates
Where camera and voice data is stored and processed
Warranty and repair options in your country

Common questions

Do consumer robots keep working if the maker's app shuts down?

Not always. Some depend on cloud services, so check whether core features work offline and how long updates are promised before you buy.

Can businesses buy consumer robots in bulk?

Yes. Fleet quotes cover multiple units, which suits hotels, offices and rental operators buying home robots or wearables at scale.
