Enabot Ebo Air 2 Review: Is This the Droid You’re Looking For?

The progression of IoT hardware in the past few years has led to an uptick of niche products becoming more mainstream, as seen with the increase of robot vacuums, smart appliances and home systems, to name a few. One category that has also seen some growth is consumer-grade indoor robots, a lot of which are now priced more affordably.

In the case of the Ebo Air 2, manufacturer Enabot has integrated some rather impressive features into a compact and well-built high-tech companion. Priced at just a bit over $200, it’s designed to keep an eye on your pets and even your kids, and comes with some extra tricks up its sleeve as well. Is it worth it, though? let’s find out.

Enabot Ebo Air 2 Specs:

Compact design with three color options
Built-in 2K resolution camera, 137° angle
2450 mAh battery, up to 7 hours usage
256GB internal storage with expandable microSD support
Built-in microphone and speaker

Design and Hardware

At just 282 grams, the Ebo Air 2 is a pretty compact robot that weighs around the same as most tablets on the market. It’s got a round shape which does to its overall “cute” and minuscule appeal, although it is built rather sturdily—it actually took a tumble when it attempted to find its charging dock whilst placed on a table, although it was relatively unharmed from its fall.

The robot is made with a polycarbonate design that features a visor of sorts on the front, which houses an infrared laser, a 2K-resolution camera and a pair of LED lighting setups that serve as the Ebo Air 2’s “eyes” as well as time display. Underneath you’ll find a pair of charging pins, a reset button, as well as a pair of treads that’s able to move the robot around at speeds of 20cm/s to 55cm/s, and can handle slightly-elevated slopes lower than 4 degrees.

Additionally, the robot packs a 2450 mAh battery that according to Enabot can last for up to seven hours of usage, and there’s a bundled charging base which the robot can navigate towards to in case it needs to charge.

App and Other Features

As you probably expected, you’ll need to download a proprietary app to setup the Ebo Air 2 (more on this in a bit) with your phone and local WiFi network. Once setup, you get access to a pretty straightforward control system which uses tank controls to move the robot around and even save video and take photos. The app also comes with a set of different skills which allow you to program a combination of expression via the LED eyes, in addition to sound effects and movement.

Additionally, the app also allows you to upgrade the robot’s software whenever there are new update patches available. For video monitoring, you can also set scheduled video capture and view a real-time feed in addition to saved footage.

Usage and Quirks

While the setup process for the Ebo Air 2 was supposedly straightforward, I was initially met with constant disconnection errors despite following all the setup instructions step by step. After a quick Google search it seems that a number of Ebo Air 2 users have run into similar problems, although this was eventually fixed with a full reset of the robot.

As far as usage goes, operating the robot itself was pretty easy using the app, despite a fiddly setup experience. It’s very mobile although having flat surfaces all around your home does help with its movement. With that said it was able to zip around my living room without any problems, and despite the tumble it took didn’t have any trouble with its treads afterwards.

The 2K-resolution camera is clear as well, and is one of my more favourite features on the Ebo Air 2, although the speaker on the robot isn’t very loud in particular, and can be drowned out especially if there are other loud noises in its immediate vicinity. When it was time to recharge, the robot had a bit of trouble navigating its way back to its charging dock, although it was able to find it eventually.

Final Thoughts

To sum things up, it’s a handy device to have around especially since it essentially serves as a mobile indoor CCTV unit. One thing to consider though is that its four to seven-hour battery life might be a bit limiting, so you’ll want to keep in mind the additional two to three hours that it takes to recharge the battery especially if you want uninterrupted 24/7 monitoring. All in all though the Ebo Air 2 is a well-built smart companion, although for around $200 a bit more polish on the app side would have been appreciated.
