    Stopped working

    Purchased for my 4 year old for Christmas. Great while it lasted… he’s only used it a handful of times in less than 3 months and it no longer moves up the wall. I even tried on the floor and it’s hit or miss. Target says it’s not eligible for return. Disappointed.

    Not worth the money

    Item was cheaply made and did not go easily up walls. I bought four for a group but the controllers were not exclusive to each toy so each could not be operated separately. Also the charge only lasted a brief time. I returned them!

    Poor battery life but great toy!

    My son LOVES this thing. It seems pretty durable despite being made of flimsy plastic. My biggest complaint is that the lizard battery only lasts about 5-10 minutes before it just shuts off which is disappointing. It would entertain him for hours if the battery life was longer. It does recharge within 30 minutes or so. We have tried charging for longer periods and overnight, but it doesn’t change the length of use for play.

    Fun for a few days before it breaks ; poor quality

    It's cute and fun while it works the first few days. Also, if you have it on the mode where is climbs on the walls, it will only work for about 10-12 minutes before needing to be charged again. Its more like a Dollar General / 5 Below quallity item that should be about $6-7 really. It's a very disappointing Christmas present when the tail and one of the legs stops moving and working properly within a week; if you want your 7-9 year old to first get excited then days later upset / mad at Santa buy this. I would not recommend buying it and disappointing your kiddos. Cool idea but it's very poor quality and not made to last at all. It is nice that you can tell if it's fully charged or charge by if the eyes are blinking or just shining.

    I had to return it

    Did not work properly. Not sure if it was due to it being a defective product. Falls off walls. Concept is cool, but does not work properly.

    Broke after 2 weeks

    Worked for two weeks. Now it no longer sticks to the wall and it just spins in circles when on the ground.

    Go Go Gecko

    This Gecko will blow your mind. It scurries forward, backwards and spins circles all while staying up on the wall. It can't transition from the floor to the wall on its own, but put it on a smooth, vertical surface and watch it go! It requires batteries and charging, comes w/ a short cable. My six year old grandson loved using the toy on walls and even had fun maneuvering the gecko on the floor between the furniture. Quite unique. Reinforces hand-eye coordination and learning about gravity.

    Fun toy, really goes up the wall.

    I was hesitant about this toy because some of the plastic is sort of thin, but i think that’s to make it light weight. It really does crawl up the wall and the controls work really well. My son loves it. It is a little loud while on that would be my only down but that’s what creates the vacuum to make it stay on the wall

    Not great, disappointed kids

    It doesn't walk on the ceiling, it just falls. When on the wall, if wall is not level, it falls.
