Nice toy but it don't get played with much. Not what my 7 year old thought it would be.
 
5 Star Rating  "Brilliant"2007-12-19

Brilliant is the only word I can use to describe this toy. It has a few flaws, but it is fantastic.

When I first got this toy, I was kinda bored with it. After I read the manuel, twice, it got more interesting. It turns out, that this pet needs to be trained. He has his own personality. I happened to get a particulary stubborn pet. He refuses to many tricks, so when he actually does some, it's fantastic. He also made everyone laugh after the many falls he had taken. You can tell he is programmed to do this, because he simply stops and falls down. This pet is great at getting up as well.

It became kind of old, so he went back onto the shelf. A year later, I developed another interest in it. When I had first used it, the laser didn't work because I had bought crummy batteries. I decided one day to take out these memories and see what happened. I changed the batteries, and walah, it started to work much better! So now, he hasn't been left a moment of peace.

My 8 year old son got it for his birthday. He loves it! He has been playing with it every day. The tricks this dog does are amazing!

This toy does not work at all. It does not roll over, it does not walk forward, barely walks backward, and the laser wandering feature does not work. We put in brand new batteries in both the toy and the remote, and it did not change a thing. This toy has sat on the hearth ever since Christmas, almost completely unused. Unfortunately, we are unable to return it to Amazon as we threw away the packaging, and the only response we get from Amazon is a form-type email that we cannot respond to. Do not waste your money.

My 7 y o son learned first hand this year that marketing a product (TV) is what sells this item. He said, "I thought the Robo Pet would do more cool things on its own like a real dog....but it is really dumb". If anything, he learned a good lesson about what you see on TV is not what the true reality of the product when you get it home.
 
5 Star Rating  "For better performance, better batteries are needed."2006-12-31

I got this at a local Discovery Channel store for $41.97. The first one I got had a broken rear leg. Robopet just shutdown itself couple minutes after I activated it because it couldn't turn over and stand up. After I examed it I found the parts is detached from the motor. I went back to the store and exhchange for a new one. The new one has 4 black chips that scure the leg parts and prevent the parts from detaching from the motors. Obviously the first one is defective...lacks of parts.
Before I got the robopet I've heard that batteries affect the performance a lot. I went to Frys and got 2 different kinds of batteries, ACDelco Super Alkaline and eneloop rechargeable by Sanyo and GE, to test out. I was very dissapointed on the performance after using ACDelco. What happened is Robopet had problem turnover and standup after it did the rollover trick. Then I used eneloop batteries. The performance improved but still... Robopet had to try like 3 times to stand up, sometimes shutdown itself, and had problem making turns on the carpet. But the performance is OK when it's on hard floor. I can tell the waist of Robopet was weak from the sound of the motor...dying sound. I thought I got a defect one again or Robopet doesn't perform well on carpet at all. I decided to try the old batteries, Sony CycleEngery, that I use for my mp3 palyer. The performance is owesome. Now robopet makes turns rollover nicely even on the soft thick carpet.
At beginning I thought Robopet's sensors were not working very well since it kept bumpping into walls and walking against the wall. Then I found that if the light is bright enough Robopet reacts very well.
Some maybe said that it's made of cheap parts. But I think for about $42 it's totally worth it. Sony Aibo costs more than $500.
I am gonna order the Roboreptile from Amazon. I can't wait to receive RV2 next Tuesday.
I would suggest exam the products right after you purchase since missing parts, 4 parts, is a very riduculous thing that could happen. And they assert that each product is tested before they ship it.
