My husband tried to surprise me with a sexy strip tease. He got tangled up in his own socks and fell over the laundry basket. Smooth moves, darling👄

It looks like a rubbish bin, which makes me wonder why we have to put the bins in and out ourselves? Be useful, AI tech bros.

It’s similar to that Samsung robot Ballie

There could be something here, especially if it is expanded on! 🤷🏻♂️ Give it a few years, and we may be surprised!

$3,000 for something that’ll be inevitably bricked by the developer in a few years?!😮

It looks like it’s made from not-so-durable components… It even has a USB-A port on the inside! Yes, that discontinued USB port… Was it built using leftover parts, I wonder? I would’ve guessed it might cost $99, but since it’s a Disney product, I was sure it’d be $399 or $499 if it were a licensed item. I couldn’t have been more wrong. It costs nearly $3,000!

I mean it’s cute with the star wars Deco on it but I don’t get what it’s purpose is, like why would you buy one?

Basically a stupid ride pack

They should be less than $500. I mean it’s not hard to make a rolling hover board for $100 which this thing basically is just with some advanced sensor and ai guidance

Speaker on the inside. USB-A on the inside. This could’ve been so much more.

Looks quite cute but drives as well as Tesla’s self drive system!😂 Maybe for people who likes to carry their dogs and cats on a stroller… as they don’t have enough legs already and was not born to have a little cold on the ground (ever seen farm dogs or cats or… any real animals do in life?!). I would not put anything personal or walk around with it unless it comes with R2-D2’s electrical shock self-defence option!😂

I appreciate you having fun making this with May 4 just a few days away but
Even with its flaws this item could help people. Besides helping in the home it could work outside the home in the office or very light shopping for dry items that are light weight and it could be most useful to disabled people who can’t lift items to far up with the arms, or people with arthritis who can’t hang on to stuff very long or people with back problems or many other disabled people
I do see that for now until tech gets better on it people using it outside of the home should use a bungee leash on it like the one parents use on kids so it stays with you
And they should have a custom-built tub that goes on the inside because even with dry item people can take tub out and load it on table then put back inside droid and it helps keep inside clean
Just a few thoughts on it
When doing a vlog on items like this try and think of people it could help

Some rich college kids are going to buy one just so they can make their lukewarm 12 pack follow them around.
