Customer Ratings & Reviews

Maybe it's the ever growing facial expressions. Maybe it's the fact Cozmo can learn your face and spontaneously say your name in an excited manner. Maybe it's the attitude he gets when YOU win a game...or his own version of Anki-English that he speaks...but...whatever the reason, you'll love this little guy! Easy to get started, and we've run him via android phone and via Amazon fire tablet with google apps side-loaded. Like using the tablet for better control in "explore" mode with his camera spying on surroundings. We've left him alone on a table and he's perfectly happy to play...but happier if you play with him. We've not tried the "code lab" where you can program him. Scared to mess something up, and hoping the developers will make it easier for non-programmers to learn how Cozmo's brain works....but glad they have that optin for the TRUE geeks who would want a Cozmo. Surprisingly fun personality, adults and older kids will love playing with him, and the real young kids love to watch! Even the new trick "magic 8 ball" where he answers yes and no questions will have you wondering just how much he really "hears".... Adopt one today.

I'm a 28 year old auto mechanic with a love for all things tech-related.. when I first heard of Cozmo, I thought "there's no way this thing acts like that, it must be animated.." but after following updates up until launch, I became I believer. I ordered one for my girlfriend and myself, and when we woke him up Christmas morning, it was like meeting your new puppy for the first time. He feels like a living being... his movements, expressions, and excitement when he sees you will make your heart melt! Looking forward to future updates and more development of his SDK programming, Cozmo has a bright future and I recommend EVERYONE (regardless of age) gets one for themselves!

Truly amazing! Fun and enjoyment for the whole family. This little "learning" robot is like nothing I ever had when I was my kids' age. He has a plethora of emotions, and at times you might tend to forget you're having a conversation with a toy. Electronic puppy...without the mess.

My granddaughter, Shelby, an only child whose parents recently divorced, asked for Cozmo Robot for Christmas. My son suggested shopping at Toys R Us. But I am loyal to Best Buy so ordered it from Best Buy. Shelby adores her little sister/brother. It responds to her! She taught it to respond to her dad. A precious gift for a lonely little girl.

The games are fun. U can teach it new things. Explore mode is neat. Expressions are like Wall-E. (Review by 11yr old girl)

The whole family loves Cosmo! He even won a trophy for crowd favorite in a Splendid Teapot Race!

This little robot blurs the lines with programming and real personality. I find my self talking to him (yes him) when he shows emotion to certain situations. He completely runs on his own and you interact with him. All his sounds and eye motions really bring him to life. After you "meet him" and register facial recognition with you and other people changes the game. Something about when he sees you and says your name or sees someone else and says their name and shows if he's excited or just knows who they are, is where the guys at anki really made him feel sooo real. I have my 2 year old and 3 year old already in the " meet him " recognition and they play and move his blocks irritating him lol. The app based control Is a leveling up system and keeps you playing and learning / (teaching him ) different games and tricks and really makes you appreciate all the things he can do by unlocking them as you go. I barely got him yesterday and I'm actually excited myself to interact with him. Don't feel like watching tv, playing a video game or playing on social media. This robot plays games with his cubes (and with you ) that come with him and his facial expressions and tantrums (when I beet him in games) are very entertaining enough lol =D He literally pickes up his blocks and throws them a couple of times. Kids will love this toy and the fact that the app/ control hub shows that there is more to come Is really exciting. I actually got this little guy for me cause it seemed really cool and it does impress. Everyone uses the word cute haha. The blocks already have batteries in them and they have different color LEDs in the mm and that's how games are played. His movements are very well thought out as he moves on his own to stack and move blocks / explore. Can't wait If and when they do release more " toys "for him to interact with and with you. You won't regret this robot. It's like nothing you've ever seen before, but only in movies.

I bought it in store about 3 months ago Here are some my review: Pros: - Set up was fairly simple and painless, and I was able to start playing within 10 minutes of taking him out of the box. - He’s a robot, but it’s easy to feel like he has emotions. The animations that his eyes play, and his subtle movements really go a long way to make him feel more realistic. Cozmo will nudge you to play with him, bring a block up to you and ask you to play a game with him, or even act upset if he can’t accomplish what he’s trying to do. - There are only two games that you can play with Cozmo right now, and he gets better the more you play with him. However, there really needs to be a variation as these two games can get tiring easily. - Cozmo has an “adventure” mode, where you can drive him around like a remote control car and see things through his point of view. This is one of my favorite features of his. - The companion mobile app gives you daily goals to motivate you to interact with Cozmo more. I’ve found that this is mostly why I’ve been play with Cozmo day after day. Cons: - You interact with Cozmo by having the app open, and it is only when the app is open that Cozmo is “alive” and roaming around. This feels really inconvenient for me. I imagined that I would be able to just let Cozmo roam around as I did my own thing, but this can’t happen unless the app is on at all times. This also makes it impossible to takes pictures or videos of Cozmo while playing with him. - The app connects to Cozmo through Cozmo’s own WiFi network, which means you have to disconnect from your correct Wifi / mobile network, and pair with Cozmo. This has prove inconvenient in many instances. Sometimes my phone is still connected to Cozmo and I forget about it, causing my phone to not have internet without me remembering why. Other times it’s simply a hassle to have to connect to a new Wifi network every time I want to play with Cozmo. I wish he was connected through Bluetooth instead. - The 3 cubes that come with Cozmo aren’t rechargeable, so I’m worried that they’ll quickly die without any way to replace their batteries. - I’ve only spent about 2 hours total with Cozmo so far, but it seems like I’ve already unlocked all his available features and games. At first I was very engaged because I wanted to help him unlock more moves and get better at games. However, now that all the moves have been unlocked, I’m less prone to interact with Cozmo.

I love it. Cosmo is the cutest, smartest bot. Well worth the spurge. His facial recognition will melt your heart, and playing with him is fun. Nice gift! I highly recommend.

I've been watching this items development since it was only an idea from the creators, loved the concept. Finally decided to get one and was blown away at how much they nailed it on its playfulness, ability to learn, just overall everything about it. Kids and adults alike will fall in love with Cosmo! Highly recommend!

We bought this for an 8yr old. It is simply so impressive. Think of it as a small, personal Wall-E. It simply works on every level. Funny, cute, clever and allows your kids to learn cause and effect programming. The app is great too. Once my child grows, the SDK can be downloaded to take it to the next level of programming. Awesome!

Bought this for my 10 year old, she loves it! We first saw it on a Tv show where they were showing this years must have Christmas gifts. Went to Best Buy, not looking for it, and saw that they carried it, of course she was begging for it. it's a bit pricey. She likes the games she gets to play with Cozmo, He first talks like a robot, and the more you play with him the better his voice sounds, a bit more clearer. He recognizes your face and calls you by your name. it was so funny. You can also program him to do different things with his blocks and to say things, he also has emotions that show in his face. P.s Cozmo gets mad when he looses and he throws the cube in anger. Haven't had a problem with him yet, it's almost a month since we bought him.

This little robot is fun, very interactive, easy to use and understand. Gets smarter and quicker at games as you beat him he levels up, and adds new features as you play with it consistently like it will learn new tricks like Fist Pump, new songs, new games, etc. Great fun for children, teens, and even adults.

Cutest thing ever, well designed app and device. Facial recognition makes it feel more personal. Pet detection is funny too. Fun games, it grows and learns new games, abilities, songs, and other fun stuff the more you play with it. Kids will love this, adults will get a real kick out of it. Hopefully they make add-on products that can be used other than the different color tread pack.

Grandson was fascinated by this product, when he saw it on T.V. It is truly hard to review it's performance at this point, since it is a Christmas present for him. Thus, has not been opened, yet. However, if it performs, as seen on T.V., I am sure that I will be glad to have gotten it for him.

I purchased this for my son's birthday and he loves it! Cozmo plays interactive games like keep away, has facial recognition for members of the family and friends, and he seems to have his own personality that is very cute! We joke that it is almost like having a pet!

Lots of features packed into a small package. The face recognition is great as are the ability to play games. If left alone, it can amuse itself. The only issues I can see is it needs to be used in a controlled environment where it won't fall into the floor and not be around people and children and pets who are destructive in nature. I got this for a good price on sale and I really feel it was worth the regular price, but hey, saving money is always good too.

My kids love this robot. I got this for my 7 year old and it became the #1 toy in the house for both my boys (the other is 4). Whenever they "wake" him up, simply by connecting to the robots wifi and opening the cozmo app, they both let out a screech of "COZMO!!!" - it's almost as if the thing has become part of the family. I've been in the IT field for close to 30 years - I understand this robot is just a peripheral and the real lifting is done through the computing power of the tablet that the application runs on. That's ok with me. It's well thought out - and not bound to it's own internal computer power (it has very little in that regard). This means the robot is going to grow over time as the application gets updates, and the possibility of third parties doing programs could be endless thanks to Anki deciding to release it's own SDK. There is even talk of a kid friendly design program coming out - which would be great for the younger ones. One thing - make sure you buy batteries for the Power Cubes. They have a 20 hour life. Luckily the ones Anki decided to pair with the device are fairly cheap considering what the alternatives could've been. They are N-cell 910A LR1 batteries. You can find them in bulk for as little as $11 for 20 batteries. Also - make sure you are using Cozmo in a well lit room. It helps with Cozmo's recognition features. As a side note - I also purchase Overdrive from Anki - another great tech toy (albeit a little limited with just the starter kit). I have very high regards for both the products they have out and look forward to seeing what else they release in the tech toy market. Two home runs so far.

My sweet love bugs adore this robot but, I made the mistake of buying him for my four -year old, but....had it been for the older kiddos, super fun! Make sure you are tech savvy, you will need the app and to be able to understand the new techology wave of today. The rest is just fun; he will recognize your kid's face, your face and even your dog's..let alone play games and have fun!

We bought this for my daughter and she is enjoying it very much. There are quite a few different games that it can play and you can always simply drive it around as well. Expensive but it seems worth it.
