NEO is the first humanoid openly sold for your home: soft body, 30 kg, whisper-quiet (22 dB), with a clear promise — tidying, fetching and helping around the house. You reserve it for $200 and pay $20,000 or $499 a month.

The fine print matters: complex chores are currently performed by a remote human teleoperator (“Expert Mode”), something the Wall Street Journal confirmed in its hands-on test. 1X promises growing autonomy via its Redwood AI, but for now you're buying a promise, with 10,000+ pre-orders ahead of you and deliveries stretching into 2027.
