Hi @saradsmejem
Just to add, regarding data protection, take a look at this thread which covers questions about what sort of data protection etc.
With regards to discounts, at the moment Living.ai have EMO already on a discount price. You can check out the store here - https://living.ai/store/
EMO was $299 USD - Now $279
EMO Go Home was $399 USD - Now $369
Home Station was $109 - Now - $99
I don’t see Living.ai lowering the price anytime soon.
I believe all other answers @jj has pretty much-provided answers. Hope this helps you make a decision on whether or not to purchase an EMO.
Thanks
