Ask HN: Should i buy a padbot t1 for my grandma?

1 pointslinhchi8y ago0 comments

Hello, recently i lost my grandpa and it is still an extremely difficult thing to deal with, especially because i'm far away from home.

I'm considering to buy a padbot t1 (which is ~200eu + a smartphone + shipping out of US) for my grandma. It says it has automatic answer so that she does not have to touch any button.

Other bots are from 1k to 10k euro and my monthly salary is 1k only. For this padbot t1, it would cost around 500 total and it is still a big deal to me.

So I would like to ask if anyone has experience with this situation? Is this bot durable?

Thank you,

Here is the padbot t1: https://www.telepresencerobots.com/robots/padbot-t1
