Garbage - Barely Used And Already Won't Charge
After only 4 months and only being played with a few times, the drone will no longer charge when plugged in. We contacted the manufacturer and were told that they won't do anything because it's outside of the 30-day warranty. Apparently they don't think it's any good either. Save your money and pass on this one!

Not worth the money
Charged it for a long time and battery lasts less than 10 minutes.

Awful. Do not buy.
As others have stated this is a complete waste of money. Broke after one use. Not recommended.

My son was so excited to get this and used it for one day and it broke. Two of the propellers wouldn’t stop spinning even when turned off. I guess we just have to throw it away now. What a waste!

Poor material
Product is made of styrofoam. My son broke the wing when he picked it up and went to set it dusk for flight after charging it.

It hasn't worked once since it was opened. We have a very sad boy that his Christmas present won't work!

Bad customer service on Christmas
My grandson never received his Christmas gift. It was delivered to the wrong address and no signature was required. I had reached out to customer service and they had offered to give me a $5.00 discount if I chose to order everything again. Therefore this deserves no stars. My grandson did not get his gift at all. I wanted them /Target to replace the missing items. They had said no. I’m not happy and my grandson is definitely not happy.

Do not buy
One rotor started as soon as we powered the drone on for the first time and would not shut off. Would just keep spinning on high even when powered off. Unable to fly at all due to the malfunctioning rotor. Very disappointed kid (and dad) on Xmas morning

Should be recalled!
Do not buy! This is extremely dangerous and I can’t believe it’s not recalled. My son was playing with this when suddenly the motor went crazy, wouldn’t stop, started to smoke a lot and smelled like a fire. This is a pretty expensive toy, I ended up buying a similar one on Amazon with good reviews and my kid loves it. Do not buy this one, you will regret it and your child will be sad.

Drone
Got this for my kiddo for his birthday. Worked well for a couple weeks but now one of the propellers won't work and we can't figure out why. The battery also doesn't last very long.

DO NOT BUY THIS!
This was so much money and broke after a couple of tries. It’s made out of styrofoam and the front snaps in half. Don’t buy this drone. It’s a waste of money.

Not good
Motor to the drone would not shut off after attempting to fly it. Walked in to target to have everyone starring at me. Didn't bother exchanging for another since the reviews are so bad.

Caught on Fire
My son loved flying this drone for the few months that he had it until it wouldn’t shut off one day. Within minutes it started smoking and caught fire. It was fun while it lasted.
