The drone is a compact and durable toy that offers a lot of fun for both kids and adults. It is easy to operate, making it suitable for beginners. However, the battery life is short, typically lasting only 5-10 minutes per charge. Despite this, its portability, ease of use, and ability to perform tricks make it a popular choice for family fun.

Worked great for a 2 days, and then we could not get the drone and remote to sync. Multiple tech-savvy adults looked at it and tried everything and could not get them to sync again.

Terrible!
Trash. My son got it for Christmas, took 2 hours to charge and only allowed for 10 minutes of play time. Can't have ANY little bit of wind at all or it does not function correctly. Can't get it to go forward against the wind, and it kept drifting. Thing is too lightweight and not enough power. When we found a better spot with no wind, he landed it and the propellers popped off. Didn't land hard. Then one propeller wouldn't shut off even with the unit off. Drone could lift up again. Very disappointed. This thing is garbage. Not worth the 4 AA batteries the remote uses.

Awful product
Awful item. Takes forever to charge, disconnected from remote only for it to fly who knows where and it’s now lost. I bought for my son for Christmas and he barely got to play with it before it took off on its own. Do not recommend.

short battery life
5 minutes of flight per charge with a 60 minute charge time... what a waste of excitement and money.

DO NOT BUY
I wish I read some of the review in here. Fair that it could fly for 5 mins due to its size/ weight, BUT IT NEEDS 1 HOUR TO CHARGE.

Fun child drone
Buy it! My son loves it (5yo). Easy to use. The battery life isn’t great but isn’t terrible either. As long as it’s charged, it’s good for a kid.

I wish 0 stars was an option...
Do not waste your money on this brand. My son was able to use this for about 15-20 minutes between charges before it broke and was thrown in the garbage.

Total Disappointment
My son was so excited to fly this plane, which we paid over $40 for in our local Target despite seeing it here online for $29.99. The first flight, it went up and flew fine for about 1 minute, we were keeping the plane at a low height (~6ft) as my son was getting used to flying it, when all of a sudden it went straight up and away from us, never to return (not user error). My son was seriously bummed and when I called the company to try to get a replacement they immediately (as if this happens frequently) told me to read the safety warning page 8 of the instructions where on the third to last line of text it says, "For indoor use only". So, despite the packaging showing the plane being flown in the outdoors, apparently this plane is only for use indoors and if it malfunctions and just flies away the company is not responsible. Worst experience! I knew Sharper Image was a not an entirely trustworthy brand, but this is it for me... I will never buy another Sharper Image product.

Not worth it
5 minute fly time is a tease, at least make the battery last long enough to get the hang of it! I wish I would’ve read reviews before buying. Don’t bother.
