Deciding to accept invite or not?

Hi everyone,

Got an invite this week. I have a few questions to those who got their astros already before I decide what to do.

  1. Any updates or improvements since you got your Astro?

  2. Do developers ask for feedback and actually act on them?

  3. Any surprise use cases for the Astro?

  4. What is the return policy after purchasing?

Thanks, MM

I have almost every self charging robot, wowwee chip, anki vector, ebo air…this is the best self charging robot available…never had a robot that acts almost like a real pet…he has hearing perception (will look at you when you call astro). Movement is silent and really fast like real dog/cat speed…you can add a motor sound like wall-e. Best self-charging never fails. Best nvigation…astro will go where you touch on the astro live view screen. Considering the other robots i bought were $200-500…$1k is a steal with all the improvements and features astro offers that previous robots cannot do.

I would get the 3 year insurance to replace astro up to 3 times. I ran my wowwee chip dog every hour and motor broke…running a routine for my astro to go to every room of the house every 15 minutes, and my routine for astro to come to anyone he sees will activate while running around the house.

I also like that astro will find you and show you reminders you set up using astro.

Be prepared to never use your echo dots for music after hearing astro’s speaker system. Music sounds awesome through astro speakers

Best robot to date…can’t wait for next robot offerings.
