Awesome robotic toy

Few years ago I was in Japan and got tired of searching of Sony's Aibo robotic dog. That was very expensive and rare toy that time. But now you can buy this cool technological dog only for 40-50 usd. I got it for 29usd and this is amazing toy for my 2 years old child. She was so astonished when saw it moving and barking. It is very cute, moves and acts like an expensive robot. It looks awesome, very cute and my baby girl is very happy. I have tried some commands and doggy did them all. It hears commands and makes needed movements. There are lot of other cool options that we have not tried yet. I highly recommend this amazing toy and my sincere thanks to manufacturer and Amazon.

pleasantly suprised

I was worried that this toy would not live up to the high expectations that my daughter had after seeing their commercials. However, I am impressed with the voice command functions (works well) and the device is easy to operate and charge.

No Limits from here on. Lego Bost is a winner.

The Lego Boost is a great toy for kids (7yr) but also for young adults looking to at least understand how coding and/or electronics work. The competition is on between Dash from Wonder Workshop and Lego Boost - Vernie robot. Lego boost works on Bluetooth version 4.1 and it does not work on Fire tablets - I did not see lego boost app on fire apps, yet. All instructions are on the Lego Boost app and they will begin by 1st assembling Vernie Robot. I started opening Lego Boost and laying pieces on table, thinking that I will build and my son will watch and learn by helping. But I had to "run away" for a call and my kid took over. While I was on call for about 3-4 hours - I was checking my son working on the robot and following instructions. In 3 hours (or so) he was done and Vernie robot made introductions! I was amazed - even though I knew my son could do it by himself - he just did not seem interested in building "yet another robot". I only helped him 2 times - just by pushing in 2 pieces a bit harder. Long story, short - he fully assembled Vernie and started going through the learning activities. The app starts with assembly of robot - then user has to go through 4 or 5 activities to learn how the coding works. Then you can freely move it using a digital joystick or coding your own activities and paths. Everything is intuitive - for kids. For an adult - it might take 30 min of playing around. For example - you have to press for 5-10 sec on an icon to see the definition message/what the function does. I like that the coding experience mimics the actual coding system - i.e. you have files or folders under which certain functions or coding blocks are located. Makes sense - and kids will get used to this type of file structure. The plus - compared to Dash: 1. Lego: you get to build the unit - piece by piece. Helpful to understand what each piece does and how things get connected. 2. Lego has 5 in 1. It will keep you and the kid entertained for at least a week just buy building - then playing - then again building. My son says he likes it mostly because you can build the robots. 3. At times - you have to stop and see why is not shooting the bullet - and you will learn the mechanics - i.e. maybe you set something incorrectly. Hence - root cause analysis :) 4. I think the Lego software interface was designed to have more things added in the future. I could see how additional things could be added to the interface. 5. With both Lego and Dash - you can record your own sounds. I know for sure - with Lego app - you cannot share your project(s) online if you used your own recording. I love this protection. Thank you Lego! I hope you will never get into issues with privacy. I do not want my voice online - nor the sounds I record on toys - just - because! The big difference between Dash and Lego Boost - now - in my opinion: Lego Boost does not have many sensors to sense the obstacles - for example in the back. There is a coding function "move until wall" but Dash has sensors front and back. So far - Lego boost sensors are only in front and center. But maybe that's all what is needed if it has a wide angle of sensing? But definitely - a back sensor is needed, in my opinion. It may be unfair to compare Dash with Lego. I wish both businesses will stay and thrive - since they can do that. Both toys are great. What I like about Dash is that the battery is built in. Yet - for some - this might be inconvenient. When Lego is low on battery - just replace - compared to wait to charge. Lego has a long history compared to Wonder Workshop. I hope Dash will thrive - and users will have more options. I hope coding will get even better: add some type of A.I. to the blocks. Sometimes I don' t want to calculate steps behind - distance in front to just avoid obstacles. A block, for ex. that could check the environment left/right/back to see if there are obstacles? If not - then do either what I say or "move back 2 steps" then "move left/right - random"? A user can/could do all this - but adding the "A.I" in these type of toys is the next step - in my opinion. Because kids lose interest after a few months. I am also looking forward for some voice controls on these units: Lego Boost and Dash. My son wanted a voice controlled small robot - simply because that one used Alexa. Well - yeah - is nice - but the robot did not do much. Now add: voice control to Lego Boost and Dash - and I bet next holiday will be again No.1 toy. Lego Boost - is also very nicely done. From colors to how pieces fit together - I was impressed. There are I think over 800 Lego pieces - and I had to buy some plastic tool boxes to help keep them a bit organized. And so - another thing my kid liked: "oh, I have my own tool box now?" As I write this review - my son got to a stop looking for pieces to build the bulldozer. It was expected - but is fun learning to search - teaching attention and search strategy :) I am very happy for making this choice with Lego this year. I thought - if my kid doesn't like it - then I get busy for a week. My kid did not jump right to it though. Only after he learned riding the Ripstik - he looked at the table - and said "Oh, let's build the robot now". Dad is now happier :) Dash or Lego? Both :) Lego - as a legacy - is about building. Adding building AND coding to a product - is a Win-Win result. Both Lego and Dash work on carpet and hardwood floor without issues. I do think that Dash's virtual joystick and free play is better though. However, Lego could easily update the app and make the free play digital joystick better - if they want or listen to their clients. Coding is limited only by our imagination (and market sometimes). Let the games begin :). I hope this helped.

Puppy Love!

Got this for my grandson for Christmas. He absolutely loves it! I love that it's chargeable instead of battery operated!

Zoomer Playful Pup

Grandson loved this! Does cute tricks. Best pet ever! You don't have to feed it or take it out!

Awesome product my daughter loves it

This dog is so realistic, i brought is for my daughter and she loves looking at it when it does tricks, it has many options and voice command also works good, good part is it works on carpet as well. Battery is not upto mark but overall fun product to watch

Good buy.

First one arrived with a broken leg. Amazon shipped a replacement straight away and that one was absolutely fine. 5 year old loves it and we got it in sale for just $25 so it was a great deal.

This product has impressive technology considering how inexpensive

My three year old daughter got this as a gift for Christmas. We were really impressed with the robot's movements and speech recognition capabilities. We are very happy with this gift. I didn't want to spend too much money on a robot dog since I knew my daughter might break it right away. Then I was worried it would seem cheap and flimsy but so far the dog is functioning perfectly.

I enjoy it as much as my daughter lol

My daughter really likes this toy but I love it. Lol. I have so much fun playing with it with her. She laughs when you tell it it's time to pee and he lifts his leg. Lol. It's very responsive. The charge lasts about 30 minutes playtime but it doesn't take too long to recharge it. So it's not a big deal. Just pop it back on the charger and you can be playing with it again in under an hour. It doesn't understand what you're trying to say if you're in a noisy area. Definitley need to be in a quiet place when setting up his name to make sure he gets it recorded right

Good for 7 year old.

Granddaughter asked for a robot dog for Christmas. I did a lot of research and decided this one was just right. It is a bit too complicated for younger siblings — and we put it up so they can’t abuse it. But she is very satisfied with her “training for the real thing” dog.
