Fun drone, controller fried...
Cool drone, controller fried. It was a fun drone while it lasted. The controller overheated and melted overheating the batteries and bringing them very close to catching on fire.

Doesnt last
At first, this seemed like the coolest gift ever. But after using it for a few weeks it just stopped working. The propellers still move but it won’t lift off the ground. We’ve tried everything! It’s just a piece of junk. And the type of charger cord it uses is unlike any other charger we have so now we have to have this special charging cord for this one toy. Not great overall. My 10 year old is disappointed.

Missing Parts
Upon opening it, it was missing several parts, such as the charge cable and 4 extra propellers, which according to the box were included. We returned it since we could not even get it to turn on.

This is not a safe toy for kids. It accidentally flew past my child’s head and the propellers tangled into their hair.

Very much junk. Associates at the store less than helpful girl who took the return said she didn’t know how to do it. She gave me a merchandise credit which I cannot use to buy a new one online. I show up at the store the so-called manager behind the counter told me she doesn’t know how to do this so I can’t change it.

Bad drone
On the day I bought it I had got it for my 10 year old son. He charged it started it up and controlled it normally well when he took it out side it was moving by itself and up and down then it fell on the road , so we brought it back inside because we thought it was the wind but guess what , the same thing happened . When he tried to start it again I just wouldn't fly and was going crazy it started heading toward his foot and hurt him really badly . That's all , all I'm going to say is if you BUY THIS ITS NOT WORTH IT.

bad packaging makes it unusable
Can't disconnect it from the packaging. The temporary power cord that connects it to the battery in the box won't unplug. So we can't even plug in the real charger.

Pros - small, lights up and blades are enclosed. CONS - ONLY LASTS 7 MINUTES. We took these to the park, had a hard time getting control of them, they kept wanting to drift away, didn't respond well to the remote. But the time we figured out to use drift and auto align (or whatever it was called) the battery ran out. Drift did not seem to correct the problems, but we didn't have long enough to play with them. 20 minute home to recharge, but not worth it. Will be returning.

It would not charge. We returned the first and got a second and it wouldn't charge either. We tried numerous ports and outlets with no luck.
