Zman - 27 days ago, Verified purchaser
Not so good. Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 13 year old tech savvy nephew. In no time pieces were breaking off of it due to lightly hitting things during the learning to fly process. I would say if they made it a little sturdier it would be a great product.
Didn't work!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I receive my drone thunderbolt jet x A few months ago, and we have been enjoying it ever since. It’s great quality easy to use and so much fun. This is something we will keep using and I highly suggest getting one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how easy this drone is to use. I like all the different maneuvers I can do with it. It's not overly complicated. I like how it charges pretty fast. And the battery doesn't die quickly either. My son and I enjoy using this.

This thing is very cheaply-made my son used it twice. It didn’t hardly fly the first time then the box on the drone got shorted out and won’t turn off, it won’t even fly

This gift was from Santa! I felt so bad when my son tried to fly it and it stopped working mid air. It came down and the foam broke. Would not recommend this product. Waste of money. And heart breaking disappointed child. So cheep.

Los - 3 months ago
Charge time is 120 minutes but only flies about 5-7 min. My son couldnt even get used to flying it because by the time he almost gets the hang of it, it shuts down and takes 2 more hours to charge.
Full charge allows for about 10 minutes of play

The battery life on this is ridiculously short. It flies for about 10 minutes and then needs charging. It was a great idea, but poor execution.

BexV - 3 months ago
The charge time is 70 minutes but yields only 15 minutes of fly time. Also the body is flimsy and broke in two places when the drone stopped responding to the controller. We tested inside and several times the drone would fly up to the ceiling, and stay there. We turned the controller off and the drone still didn't come down. It didn't even respond to the auto land feature.

After 1 flight and a soft landing, the plane tip smooshed in and the it will no longer work. I would expect a kids toy to have a little more durability. So it was a waste of money for a 1 time try.
