Home Robots in Europe 2026: What’s Actually Available?

The 2026 comparison at a glance

Read this table as a status map, not a ranking. Each column answers a different question, and a robot can be orderable while still being unavailable in any practical household sense.

Scroll the table horizontally to see all columns.

What “available in Europe” actually means

The phrase hides four separate layers. A robot has to clear all of them before a household in Lyon, Lisbon or Leipzig can genuinely use it.

1. 1. A manufacturer order path

   Is there a public page where a private household — not a business or research lab — can place an order?

2. 2. Shipping and import

   Does the manufacturer ship to your country, or would you be importing privately with duties, VAT and no local recourse?

3. 3. Conformity and regulation

   Is the machine documented as compliant for placement on the EU market, with the paperwork a buyer can actually see?

4. 4. Local warranty and support

   If it breaks after nine months, who repairs it, in which country, with which spare parts, in how many weeks?

There is a fifth question that is not about availability at all: usefulness. Hardware availability and household usefulness are different things. A robot you can buy may still need supervision, a prepared environment or a remote human operator to complete a chore. “Can be ordered online” is not the same as “ready to work autonomously in a European home.”

1X NEO — a home robot with a preorder, but a US-first plan

1X positions NEO as purpose-built for the home rather than adapted from an industrial platform. Preorders are open: 1X lists an Early Access price of $20,000 with priority delivery in 2026, and a $499/month subscription option arriving later. Its published delivery plan is primarily the United States in 2026, with expansion to other markets starting in 2027.

For a European household, this means NEO is not currently a documented European consumer delivery option in 2026. 1X has not published a confirmed European launch date, so we do not state one. Source: 1x.tech — NEO home robot.

Weave Isaac 1 — the clearest consumer pricing, still not European

Weave Robotics takes a different physical approach: Isaac 1 is a purpose-built wheeled home robot rather than a walking humanoid. Its commercial terms are unusually explicit — $7,999 upfront or $449/month, with a $250 refundable preorder deposit. Weave states first shipments in fall 2026 in California, with broader US coverage through 2027.

Weave describes two routines, Laundry Flow and Daily Reset, as autonomous by default, with teleoperation assistance when needed. That is a more honest framing than most, and it is still a manufacturer claim. Europe is not part of the documented rollout, so Isaac 1 is not currently a European consumer delivery option.

Figure 03 — home-focused, but nothing a household can order

Figure designed Figure 03 with the home in mind, and states that household tasks such as laundry, cleaning and dishes are performed autonomously. What does not exist publicly is a consumer order path or consumer pricing, so we make no claim about either.

DOMULU therefore classifies Figure 03 as demonstrated and in development, not as a buyable European home product. Sources: figure.ai — Figure and figure.ai — Introducing Figure 03.

Unitree R1 and G1 — orderable hardware, not a household service

Unitree is the reason so many “you can buy a humanoid today” headlines exist. The R1 starts from $4,900 and the G1 is listed at $13,500 in the official store, and both are genuinely orderable. This is the single most misunderstood point in the category.

These are hardware and developer platforms. They are not sold as turnkey household chore services, and buying one does not give you a robot that folds your laundry. Separately, the fact that a product can be ordered online does not by itself establish local EU compliance, importer responsibility or support. Before ordering, verify the European seller or import route, conformity documentation, warranty terms and who provides support. Source: shop.unitree.com.

Weave Isaac 0 — the specialized reality check

Isaac 0 is a stationary laundry-folding robot, and Weave says it is shipping in California — not Europe. It is worth a section for one reason: a robot that does one job in one place is far easier to productize than a general-purpose humanoid that must move through an unpredictable home.

For most European households, the first genuinely useful automation may look much more like Isaac 0 than like a walking humanoid. Source: weaverobotics.com.

Why Europe is behind the US on consumer access

We will stay factual here rather than speculate about causes. What is documented is the geography of the launch plans themselves: 1X states US-first delivery in 2026 with other markets from 2027, Weave states California first and broader US through 2027, and Figure has published no consumer launch geography at all. Every credible consumer program currently starts in the United States.

There is also a regulatory calendar that any European launch has to fit. Machinery placed on the EU market before 20 January 2027 falls under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, while Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 applies mandatorily from 20 January 2027 and explicitly updates coverage for technologies including autonomous mobile machinery and robots, AI-related safety functions and cyber-safety. This is not the only law that can apply to a home robot — product safety, radio equipment, data protection and AI rules may also be relevant. Source: European Commission — Machinery.

What European buyers should check before paying a deposit

If you are considering a preorder or a private import today, this is the checklist we would work through. It is informational, not legal advice.

• Exact shipping country

  Not “international” — the specific country the manufacturer will ship to, in writing.

• VAT, duties and customs

  Who is the importer of record, and what is the landed cost once VAT and duties are added?

• EU conformity documentation

  Can you see the declaration of conformity and the applicable standards for the machine as sold to you?

• Warranty, repair and spares

  Which entity honours the warranty in your country, and what is the realistic repair turnaround?

• Privacy and remote assistance

  If a remote human operator can take control, what do they see and hear, what is recorded, and for how long?

• Autonomous versus assisted tasks

  Ask per task, not per product: which chores run unattended, and which need a person or an operator?

• Refund and deposit terms

  Is the deposit refundable, under what conditions, and what happens if the delivery window slips by a year?

What we expect next

These are expectations, not facts, and we will not present them as a forecast you can plan around. 2027 is the year that keeps appearing across independent sources: 1X says expansion to other markets starts then, Weave says broader US coverage runs through 2027, and the EU Machinery Regulation becomes mandatory on 20 January 2027.

Three separate calendars converging on the same year makes 2027 the period worth watching. It does not guarantee any particular European launch, any particular price, or any particular capability. When a manufacturer publishes a European order path, we will update this page and say so plainly.
