Reviews

• PC Magazine:
  • "Aside from the decidedly mechanical noises he makes as he does his thing, he's the least robotic robotic toy I've ever seen."
• Engadget:
  • "The motors on this thing are loud. Like, kind of distractingly loud. Yet somehow it remains ineffably adorable. You just want to take care of the little bugger."
• CrunchGear:
  • "All in all, for $350 bucks, the Pleo is a fine coffee table robot."
• CNET:
  • "It is so amazingly lifelike that it's hard not to treat it like it's real... I love it... and I want one."
• Wired:
  • "I'm impressed. This feels less like interacting with a piece of machinery and more like playing with a kitten."
