1X NEO
NEO is the clearest home humanoid you can order today. 1X lists two plans: buy it for $20,000, or subscribe for $499 a month, each with a $200 deposit that 1X says is refundable until delivery. 1X says US deliveries start in 2026, with buyers ahead of subscribers. It isn't offered outside the US yet.
1X describes NEO as 5 ft 6 in and 66 lb, able to carry 55 lb, with about four hours per charge. For chores it doesn't know yet, 1X offers "Expert Mode": a 1X employee guides the robot remotely, but only in a session you accept. See 1x.tech.
Figure 03
Figure AI announced Figure 03 in October 2025 as a robot for homes and work. As of October 2026 there's no preorder or price. Units have gone to Figure's own programs and to partners like BMW. Figure has talked about home testing, but hasn't announced a date for selling to households. See figure.ai.
Tesla Optimus
Tesla is building Optimus for its own factories first. There's no public way to order one for your home, and no official consumer price. Treat any home delivery date you see online as a guess until Tesla announces orders.
Unitree G1 and R1
Unitree's small humanoids can be bought today through resellers. They're popular for research, education and demos, but they aren't built to do household chores out of the box.
Digit and Apollo
Agility Robotics' Digit and Apptronik's Apollo work in warehouses and factories, moving totes and parts. They're sold to businesses, not households.
What about robots you can use today?
Room-mapping robot vacuums and mops are the household robots most people already own. They're useful, but they do one job. Humanoids are meant to use the same doors, drawers and machines you do, which is why they need to understand your whole home.
How to get ready before one arrives
Whichever robot you end up with, it will need to know your rooms, where things belong and how you like chores done. You can write that down now. Start with our robot-ready home checklist or see which chores robots can do.
