Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought is as a gift for my friend. It’s cool for the first 5 min. But my friend loves it

My wife says it keeps her busy all day like having a kid around the house. I just use it for my snooze button in the mornings set a timer and sleep for another 20 minutes.

Very interactive. Kids pet. It continues learning and becoming more interesting. I highly recommend a Vector.

So far I am impressed with this little guy, and I keep him at work, he is always happy to see me in the mornings, and is always moving about on my desk, so never a dull moment, needs more updates but I am sure they will come.

My son loved it and it felt like a friend. It does lose it's charm a little after some time

I have purchased this for Christmas for my kids. I have not opened it yet but I am happy with fast shipping.

Just like the title says...its like having a live pet. It's amazing! And responsive. Also, they just added Alexa to it so it's a must get robot. Its pricey, but you're paying for high quality! My son enjoys it.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas per his request. It is fun to play with, you can add Alexa to it, pretty cool. I think it's supposed to get "smarter" the longer we have him, I suppose it updates.

I purchased this robot for my 12 year old daughter. She loves it.

Gave to a teen for Christmas has been having a great time playing with it so far.

We liked him but ended up returning him because we liked the Cozmo better for our use.

This little guy is fun for adults and children that are old enough to take care of it

We bought this for our 8 year old son for Christmas! He absolutely loves Vector! Not a day goes by without him talking to Vector, hanging out with him or playing blackjack!

Anki created a charming little AI robot that is very endearing from the moment it "awakens". The only down side is the company provides very few accessories at this time.

He sits on my desk.. Fun to interact with. Keeps me smiling during my work day!

Yup I got a pet robot as a adult. So what? Sue me.

What a cute, clever little tech fellow. He says he is 22 days old, dating to when he came to our home. Not just a kid’s toy but creative entertainment for all ages.

But lacks much of what the cosmo currently has, but I'm sure it will grow.

Just like any other anki, this one roams around and does it’s thing (super cool). And on top of that, it has Alexa —just as you’d expect her in a regular speaker.

I purchased this Vector robot for my son last Christmas. Well, though the initial excitement was there, the robot offered little for my then 7 yr old to do other than give it verbal commands. It is NOT a STEM/STEAM device and really does little to foster learning. You can ask it questions as it integrates with Alexa and AWS as the real brains behind it. Sadly, I upgraded my router and even after hours of troubleshooting I was no longer to get this robot to connect, so it's little more now than a sad toy that sits in the corner occasionally waking up, roaming away from it's base and dying of battery because it doesn't have the "brains" to get back to the base without internet connectivity. Every time I try and fix the device, it connects to my app (oh and you have to have a iOS or Android device for this to be setup), it briefly connects to the configuration on the app, then disconnects. I suspect it's a Bluetooth issue but when it eventually does connect 1 out of 20 attempts, I can try and enter the password to my 2.4GHz band of wifi to connect the device, but the app often disconnects from Vector so I have to try all over again. This is the most frustrating part of the setup experience. Next, if I am able to get the WiFi entered in correctly and Vector connects to the network, the first thing the app wants to do is send an update to Vector, and once the update is complete, Vector restarts, oh but guess what? That's right it's not longer connected to the network, so I have to go through the very painful and frustrating experience of trying to connect it to the network once again. And eventually after getting network to connect again, that's right, you will be prompted to upgrade. Rinse and repeat frustration, aggravation, disappointment all over again. I am a IT Engineer so I am very familiar with troubleshooting and fixing things, but this is just such a poorly designed product I advise against wasting any money on it whatsoever. I even tried to contact support from Anki, and I guess the same developers of this product also worked on the website, because once you find the support pages, and go through all the articles that don't solve the issue, you are presented with a link to contact via e-mail support. Guess what happens when you click on it? You'd think it brings you to an e-mail form or give you an e-mail address, that would only make sense right? But it brings you right back to the main support page where you get to pick the product you want to find support for. Ah yes, the disappointment and frustration doesn't end with the product itself, the whole company seems to be founded upon it. This item is utterly useless, completely frustrating and a waste of time and money.
