While I am very happy with the Enabot ROLA PetPal, there are a few downgrades to consider. I won't compare it to the EBO X because they're just very different kinds of products. Looking at just the ROLA PetPal on its own, it has room for improvement based on my testing.
Firstly, Enabot really needs to fix the robot's charging station positioning software. It took nearly an hour for the Enabot ROLA PetPal to go back to its charging station. Actually, it never made it back a couple of times. Those times, I got tired of hearing it bumping and sighing and just ended up putting it back at its station manually.
Another big problem with the ROLA PetPal is that its controls are not as smooth as some of Enabot's other smart cameras on wheels. Its movements are jerky and sometimes feel choppy when being controlled manually via the ROLA app. I checked my internet connection just to make sure that wasn't the issue, and it wasn't it. Hopefully, a firmware update can fix these issues.
Lastly, I have a bone to pick with the basic Enabot ROLA PetPal attachment that you get out of the box. It has no practical use at all. The compartment is basically a storage box with no functions or features. Why bother including it at all? Enabot could just give users the option to buy the ROLA PetPal with a treat dispenser or toy add-on instead of the stupid storage extension. It feels like a shameless money grab.
Enabot has promised more modular extensions down the line and I'm excited to see what they deliver. The robot's self-charging function is essential for a camera-on-wheels and the feeding compartment is a game changer. You can literally chase your pets from outside the house and feed them at will. If you're into robots and leave your pets at home for extended periods, the Enabot ROLA PetPal is a fun and useful smart camera to have.
