Can you buy a humanoid robot today?
Yes, but 'available to buy' can mean very different things. This guide separates normal consumer ordering from specialist hardware and robots that are still in development.
Availability in one view
Yes: 1X NEO has a consumer order path
1X currently accepts a refundable deposit for NEO and says US deliveries begin in 2026. That makes NEO more than a concept or company trial, but it still does not mean every household task will work autonomously from day one.
US note: NEO is the clearest current consumer-facing home humanoid in this group because 1X is accepting US orders and states deliveries begin in 2026.
Yes, but different: Unitree G1 is buyable hardware
Unitree's official store lists G1 at US$13,500 and currently marks it backordered. UK buyers should treat that as an overseas store price before shipping, tax and import costs. G1 is humanoid hardware you can buy, but not a ready-to-use home-helper service.

Both companies have shown humanoids that could eventually be useful at home, but neither currently gives consumers the same straightforward way to buy as NEO. Their buying status should change only when the products themselves become easier to purchase.
Want a robot that can help at home now?
Humanoids are the exciting next chapter. Robot vacuums are already mature enough to remove a repetitive household job reliably — and Home Fit can match one to your floors, pets, clutter, thresholds and budget.

RightRobot separates what manufacturers say and show from our own assessment. We only call a robot independently tested when we have actually tested it. Prices, availability, videos and claimed capabilities can change quickly.
