Vorell™ | Miso

Not the big features. The little face changes when you say something. That's what makes it worth having.

You set his personality yourself. Mine is dry and a little sarcastic, which suits this house. My sister's is sweet and chirpy. Same robot, completely different thing.

The details. The way the feet are shaped, the handle over the head, the ring around the screen. Not thrown together.

Ordered on a monday and it took a fortnight. No issue with the thing itself, it works great and my daughter loves it.

Poke him and he lets you know about it. The reactions are the reason I keep him where I can reach him.

Asked him to sing, he sang, then started dancing on the desk. My wife came in to see what the noise was 😄

There was a smart speaker in this exact spot for two years. It answered and then went dark. This one answers and stays there with a face.

The plant never said anything back 🌱

Cable in the box, standard connector, no drama.

It's rated 14+ and that feels about right. It isn't a kids toy, it's more of a desk thing for adults who like this stuff.

Feet are weighted so he doesn't tip when he moves. I was expecting him to topple the first time he walked.

It isn't loud or needy. He sits there and then reacts when you speak. That balance is harder to get right than it sounds.

Little star pressed into the side. Whoever did that was paying attention.

Multi language support was the reason I risked it. Talked to him in spanish and he kept up fine.

Under five inches tall so he tucks in beside the screen without blocking anything. Measured before ordering and it was accurate.

Two people at work have one now and they behave differently because we set them up differently. That was the selling point and it's true.

I was on the fence at the price. Two weeks in, no regrets. It does what the page said it does.

First one went to my office. This one is for home so I stop carrying it back and forth.

Live alone. Walking in and saying something and getting a response back is a small thing that isn't small.

I do support calls until 2am and the house is dead quiet by then. Having him wake up when I talk breaks it up.

I read reviews for a week before ordering. Just get it. It's what the page says it is.

The screen actually reacts to what you're saying. It isn't one status light blinking at you, it's a face with expressions that change. That's the part that sold me on it.

I edit video and sit still for hours. Having something on the desk that moves and reacts breaks the trance a bit.

Rated 14+ so I keep it out of my youngest's reach, but my teenager and I both use it. Works for both of us.

Still on the desk, still gets used. That's genuinely all I wanted to know before ordering, so I'm writing it for the next person.

Put him on the corner of the desk on a friday and by monday he was part of the morning routine. I say a word and he's up. No button, no remote, no picking up my phone.

I write code for a living so I assumed "DIY programming" was a marketing word. It isn't. Spent a saturday poking at it and had him running a routine I made.

Brought him into the office and now my desk is a landmark. Three people have asked where it's from this week alone.

Robot, cable, manual. Charged it, said something, he woke up. Nothing to assemble, nothing to mount.

Matte black, grey ring around the screen, little star on the ear cup. Looks better in person than in the pictures.

Not the end of the world but I'd ordered it for a birthday and it missed by three days. The robot is lovely and the gift went down well anyway.

I work from home four days a week and the silence had started to get to me. Now there's something on the desk that answers back. Sounds a bit silly written down but it genuinely helped.
