Unitree Go2 in the UK: Air vs Pro vs EDU, and which to buy
Prices and specs checked 9 November 2026
Short answer: for most people the Go2 Air (£2,200) is the one to buy. It walks, climbs steps, follows you and does tricks from the app. Pay about £900 more for the Go2 Pro if you want voice commands, 4G and side-follow. Only buy the Go2 EDU (from £7,479) if you want to write your own code: it is the only Go2 you can program.

Which Go2 should you buy?
- The Go2 Air, if you want the robot dog from the videos. It walks, trots, climbs steps, lies down, does tricks and follows you, all from the app or remote. It is the cheapest real legged robot dog sold in the UK.
- The Go2 Pro, if you will use it outdoors and show it off. Voice commands, 4G so the app works away from Wi-Fi, side-follow on walks, a faster top speed and double the warranty. If you are spending over £2,000 anyway, the longer warranty alone is worth weighing up.
- The Go2 EDU, for universities, schools, research or your own software. It is the only Go2 with developer access, plus the bigger battery, extra compute and sensors. Buy it from the start: there is no official way to upgrade an Air or Pro later.
- None of them, if it is for a young child. A 15 kg robot is not a toy. Our best robot dog toys start from about £13, and the robot dog gift guide covers every age and budget.
Buying a Go2 for Christmas?
Good news for the Go2 Air: on 9 November 2026 Scan had it in stock (low stock) at £2,200 with next day delivery, and iRed had it in stock too. The Go2 Pro is still a 6 to 8 week pre-order at Scan, so an order now may not arrive before 25 December. If it has to be under the tree, the Air is the safe choice, and stock is low, so do not leave it late.
Go2 spare batteries, chargers and remotes
The most useful upgrade for any Go2 is a second battery, so you can swap and keep walking. Unitree's own spares are sold to UK buyers by OpenELAB, which had all of these in stock on 29 October 2026:
| Part | Price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Go2 battery, 8000 mAh | €804 | The standard Air and Pro battery. A second one roughly doubles your walking time. |
| Go2 long-life battery, 15000 mAh | €1,149 | The bigger battery the EDU comes with, for about 2 to 4 hours per charge. |
| Go2 fast charger | €225 | Unitree's quick charger, for less waiting between walks. |
| Go2 standard charger | €107 | A spare or replacement for the charger in the box. |
| Go2 remote controller | €424 | Unitree's handheld remote, with a 100 m+ range in the open. |
Prices in euros including VAT, from OpenELAB's store on 29 October 2026. UK delivery is €19.95, free over €300, and UK import VAT and fees may be charged on delivery. Check the part matches your Go2 version before you order.
Questions people ask
How much is a Unitree Go2 in the UK?
The Go2 Air is £2,200 inc VAT at Scan (low stock with next day delivery) or £2,394 at iRed, which also had it in stock. The Go2 Pro is £3,120 on a 6 to 8 week pre-order and the Go2 EDU Standard is £7,479, both at Scan. Prices checked 9 November 2026.
What is the difference between the Go2 Air and Go2 Pro?
Both are about 15 kg with the same 8000 mAh battery (about 1 to 2 hours) and 4D LiDAR. The Pro adds a faster top speed (3.5 m/s against 2.5 m/s), a 4G module with GPS, voice commands, side-follow mode (ISS 2.0) and a 12 month warranty instead of 6 months, for about £900 more in the UK.
Can you program a Unitree Go2 Air or Pro?
Not officially. Unitree only offers secondary development (its SDK) on the Go2 EDU, which adds an NVIDIA Jetson Orin computer, foot force sensors and a depth camera. There is no official upgrade from Air or Pro to EDU.
How long does the Go2 battery last?
Unitree quotes about 1 to 2 hours for the Air and Pro with the standard 8000 mAh battery, and about 2 to 4 hours for the EDU with its 15000 mAh long-endurance battery.
Is it cheaper to import a Go2 from Unitree?
Unitree lists the Air at $1,600 and the Pro at $2,800, but that excludes tax and freight. Add shipping, 20% import VAT and any duty, and you lose UK support and easy returns. For most people a UK seller is worth the difference.
Can I hire a Go2 instead of buying one?
Yes. UK operators bring Go2 robot dogs to events, schools and filming with a handler. Our hire form gets you quotes from UK operators.
