Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)did a lot of research with the two different robotic dog and even thought the robo dog does many more tricks I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and the robo dog looked like it could break easily and reviews stated that there was a problem in the back leg. At x-mass we bought both dogs and decided to keep Tekno even thought he did not do as many tricks.
Pros:
Tekno is sturdy and can take a beating :)
For young children under 5 Tekno is a great start on teaching responsibility.
His remote is easy to use and tekno is easy to take care of. I have not had the trouble with things not working although ours has not found a corner and gone to sleep we turn it off at night.
So far he does the tricks that are said he will do (he gets fleas a lot though and you have to give him a bath daily) and it is cute how excited my children get when we get home and as soon as tekno hears us he is walking/barking in our direction and wagging his tail in excitement.
The kids love him and love to pet him. My son said that it is a lot of hard work taking car of a puppy and until he is ready tekno will due (age 4)
Cons-
He barks and whines like a true 8 week old puppy and will not grow from that into an adult. SO if you are a stay home mom all day long the barking can get a little unnerving ( I tend to ignore and it does not bother me but my mother came over and said " Yup that is just like a yippee toy poodle." which she hates.)
on the commercial you see the kid throwing the ball and tekno walking after it, it does not get its own ball. You have to hold it up to the mouth and then let go a couple of times. Not as much fun as a real puppy even the kids wished it was able to play more with them.
it is demanding on affection like a puppy. My kids have to pet it a lot or it will slowly makes its way to them whining.
it does not move fast or turn quickly.( but it does get to where it needs to go and follows noise. It is a slow process. To make it from one part of my house to another takes it ½ a day.
It is a pain to get out of the box you will need wire cutters and strength. And it is not refundable if you do not like it. I might have taken it back and gotten a real puppy if it weren't for my kids falling in love with it. Over all for young children it is a consideration. Robo dog is more suited for 5 and up it does a lot more tricks like rolling over and sitting. But I read reviews about a problem with the back leg and when we went to the store to play with one it had the problem and all the guy did was go get a new one out of the box for their demo. SO keep that in mind with that one. I do not know many people who can keep going and buying new robot dogs because of a faulty leg.
all together my sons words " it doesn't do everything a puppy would but i love him any way. It is just the way God made him!"
I guess the bottom line is it is a robot pick the best one for your age level all have faults if you want it to do everything a dog would get a dog.

The next time your child asks you for a dog, you'll want to say yes. Because unlike real puppies, the Tekno robotic puppy isn't a lot of work -- he's just a lot of fun. He walks forward, backward, right, left, and expresses emotions through color-changing eyes and puppy whimpers. Just like any young pup, Tekno is perfectly content to chomp on his bone and play fetch with his ball. With the included wireless translator, you'll always know exactly what this pooch is thinking and eventually he says several English phrases. He also impresses his audience with a wide selection of tricks, such as dance, speak, sing, and more. Children ages three through eight will be delighted as they learn how to program and work this amazing robotic toy.Return of the Robot Dog Everyone's favorite robotic pet is back with a new design and updated software features. Improved walking animation gives Tekno smooth, realistic movement and magnetic sensors allow him to perform advanced actions. For instance, Tekno loves to be scratched behind the ears or patted on the head. He reacts to sound, sight, and touch, and obeys several radio-controlled commands. Behaviors are launched by pressing the sensors on his head, neck, nose, and side. Children can't resist his floppy ears, wagging tail, and light-up puppy dog eyes. And should you decide Tekno needs an animal companion, he interacts with other robotic puppies. (A small warning: this toy is packaged tightly, so a small screwdriver may be necessary to remove it from the box.) Tekno measures 13-by-10 inches and requires four AA batteries and three AG13 batteries (not included). House-training Tekno When you bring this puppy home, he is programmed to act like a typical eight-week old puppy. As a great toy to teach children about responsibility, he knows how long it's been since he has been fed and he is quick to remind his owner when he needs playtime. This dog's internal clock wakes him up in the morning and he can also wake up your child with an alarm. Light level sensors let Tekno know when its time to sleep and he snores like a real dog. And like most real dogs, this high-tech pet gets smarter as he ages, and soon he will be singing and performing card tricks on command.
What's in the Box Tekno robotic puppy, translator, bone, and ball.
