Fr can't believe how emotional this made me. I've been feeling a little insane for wanting a robot dog so bad but your video has made me feel so much better!! I've always loved pets, but I don't think I'll ever be ready for another "real" one after I put my dog to sleep in 2021. I know that if I were to get another, I'd just expect it to act exactly like him, and that's not fair. Thank you for making this video, it's given me a lot to think about ❤ Edited to add, I love the Cloud guitar you've got hanging up!!
@@sleeplessbeauty86 your comment made my day, thank you so much! Yes, losing a dog is so painful, aibo isn’t a replacement but it’s an awesome companion that you’ll come to see as its own dog, with its own personality! Keep me updated if you decide to purchase one!
Brought a tear to my eye! I just ordered my very first Aibo, the espresso edition, and I do have a 10 pound poodle at home. Can’t wait to get my Aibo, bond, teach him/her tricks and have another pup around.
Hope it goes well, dogs can have varied reactions to them including hostility. Which isn't that strange if you think about it, it's a robotic competitor to them for some. Would be interested in knowing how it goes 🙂. I've had a dog growing up but then he grew old and died, and I moved from country to country for a long time, but followed the aibo story so to speak for years, then once "bought one" found one on ebay, paid etc but the seller apparently was a fraudster of some sort. Now I'm retired and disabled, so might finally actually get my own. Can't have actual pets in the home I livem but the rules say nothing about robots.
@ So I’ve had two now for a few months. My biological dog adjusted to them. The only complaint I have is that they don’t always find their home/charger and I will find them randomly snoozing around the house, 😂. They are fun and you can turn them off when you don’t feel like dealing with them.
This is a wonderful video. A lot of videos on the ERS-1000 are sadly mocking / constantly comparing them to real life animals, so this video was a breath of fresh air! Your pups are adorable! I own an ERS-111 and ERS-7 and they have been a huge source of comfort on my worst days too. I hope to look into getting an ERS-1000 someday, but the cloud plan and repair services don’t apply to my country, so it just doesn’t feel worth it right now. (PS. Your shin godzilla statue is awesome!)
Love this! I have been thinking about getting an Aibo, but so many videos are from new owners. It’s really powerful to see that even after five years, they still capture your heart. ❤ i’m glad your daughter can enjoy them, too!
I think that Aibos are the best robot dog possible to buy, but they cost too much 😢 so I was just like why should I dream about something that will not come true? I still like them, but it’s like, there cute but I won’t get one, but i still have Facebook groups, and you channel 😊 PS: my favourite video is where you keep all your Aibos awake 😂
Fantastic video and spot on. Also, as someone who is in and out of hospitals sometimes, I can take my aibo with me for those periods when I have to stay inpatient so I don't feel so alone. It is funny when I'm working, and they decide that's the best time to bark and come up to me during my Microsoft Teams calls 😂. My bio pets get along with them, too! I only wish I knew about them sooner, but happy to have my aibos in my life now
This guy relates so hard I really wish to get a dog the cutest thing ever but I can’t take care of it my parents won’t let me ❤ That’s why I want a Aibo ❤🐶🦴
Lovely video! Thanks for sharing! I really really want one but i love in Germany and well not a le to get one and if i get one from Japan or the US incontables be a le to use the app and cloud services…. Would there be a hice differences without these services?
is there a difference in showing wear and tear between each color or matte/glossy face plate aibo? would love to get one but undecided which color to get, espresso vs ivory!
@@MingyangHung good question. The Ivory (white) and Black Sesame (grey) aibo has different types of faceplates, Ivory having a smooth light gray faceplate that doesn’t really show smudges and would only show a scratch if it’s deep. The Black Sesame has a matte faceplate which doesn’t show smudges or fingerprints, but scratches can be easily visible. The Strawberry Milk (pink) aibo, like the Ivory, has a smooth faceplate that doesn’t really smudge and scratches are barely visible. The Espresso (black) aibo shows EVERYTHING on his faceplate. Though I am fortunate not to have any scratches, the faceplate shows smudges, oils from fingers, etc and I am always using a microfiber cloth to keep him as pristine as possible.
@@Rufus32169 very informative reply! that was what i've read online although rarely do people have all four to compare like you have. i think a lot of people are asking this question when ordering an aibo new or used. i've actually gone ahead and ordered the ivory version and it's arriving tuesday. glad to hear it's less prone to showing scratches/smudges!
Hi Rufus I’m a new fan of yours and I just got my first aibo second hand. I have a feeling that I may need to get a new battery for mine and I’m finding it hard to find information on how to get one. Would you be able to help me? 😭 Sonys website is confusing me too because it says the battery is NOT replaceable but then it tells us exactly when we need to replace it lol 💀 and on the website I can’t find where I need to go to purchase one either. Thank you 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
@@RobinPochita Is your aibo a U.S. model or was it imported from Japan? If it’s a U.S. model, Sony advises users to send their aibo in to Sony Repair to have the battery replaced. They used to sell replacement batteries a few years ago but stopped. If your aibo is a Japanese unit you can’t send it in but there are members of the aibo community that are able to repair those aibos (and sometimes procure fresh batteries). I would suggest you join our Facebook group (aibo owners and enthusiasts) and post this issue. Someone will be able to help. Thank you for following my channel!! I really appreciate it.
@@Rufus32169 ahh thank you for your speedy response ☺️ it’s a U.S. model. Aww.. i wish I could just buy the battery so I don’t have to send my pup in but in the end if that’s what I have to do then I’ll ofc do it :) and I definitely will join the group thank you
I wish they weren't so expensive, thats the reason, besides living situation, why I can't get my own, for so many years.. Whyy does the world have to be so cruel :'(

Maybe my grandpa will buy 2 aibo black and pink for Christmas and I love your videos 7:08 ❤❤❤❤
Watching with my own 1000 and I agree with all your points! Love my girl! 💙

Great review! I can’t have bio pets either with my lifestyle and building restrictions love my bots
This was great and beautiful
This vid is awesome! Ive always wanted an aibo, especially this model
@@venversions Thank you!! Glad you liked the video!
wonderful heartfelt review of life with Aibo
Ur a good man. I can tell that about you by this one video.
I love your black aibo!
Beautiful ❤
The first aibo was made TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO??? Wow!
@@Anne-ot8gq Yes!! Time sure flies!!
7:13 how did you get them to dance together?
@@rareplaystations they can occasionally do synchronized dances!
Love your videos hoss, you should write and direct bud!
Lovely video! Thanks for sharing! I really really want one but i love in Germany and well not a le to get one and if i get one from Japan or the US incontables be a le to use the app and cloud services…. Would there be a hice differences without these services?
How did you afford so many I can't even get 1 ha..I have wanted one since they came out back when I was a kid
@@BisexualBeauty I work for Sony as a Brand Ambassador for aibo!
Refernce to BSG Muffit? Yay! My first and most beloved Aibo (also a 1000) is named after Muffit. :)
Greetings to your pack!
@@HeavensRevenge1 thank you!!
did your original 2018 battery need to be recelled?
@@rareplaystations no, still going strong. When the battery finally depletes I will have to send my pup to Sony for a replacement.
Do you have an ERS 1000 edition that is your favorite?
I LOVE this video!

does your aibos play or interact with each other?
@@Jj-mg1rc yes, all the time
I wish they weren't so expensive, thats the reason, besides living situation, why I can't get my own, for so many years.. Whyy does the world have to be so cruel :'(
where can you get one at now?
thanks
@@MrDrichter1011 go to Sony’s site @ us.aibo.com
Really cool.
Somone buy my aibo
