Force1 Scoot Duo Hand Operated Drone for Kids or Adults - 2pk Hands Free Motion Sensor Mini Drone, Easy Indoor Small UFO Toy Flying Ball Drone Toys for Boys and Girls (Red and Blue)

I bought this for my son's 4th birthday and he absolutely loves it. So do I. So does his grandfather. The dog and cat don't mind it. His mother could do without something flying around the house but tolerates it because it's harmless. :) Flight time is around 8 minutes and charge time is around an hour, which is not bad. Gives just enough of a break from the whirring sound to make usage tolerable for parents. As a programmer I'm fascinated by just how much tech and logic is packed into such a small, inexpensive toy. Once it starts flying it spins and scans for close objects, ceilings, floors, dogs, kids, etc. and once sensed, the spinning stops and it moves a few feet away from whatever it was too close to before starting its spin/scan mode again. If it gets into a situation where it's just bumping into way too many things, it shuts down and harmlessly drops to the floor rather than cause problems. It weighs practically nothing and the casing keeps fingers from contacting the propellers. This is a great little no-brainer of a toy for just about any age. If someone is tall enough to drop the thing (which is how it turns on), they're old enough to use and enjoy it.

I purchased this as a random gift for my son when I searches for “toys for boys 8-10 years old”. My son (8 years old) opened it and figured out how to use it all on his own. Ours flies really well and does a great job of avoiding hitting things. My son was able to figure out how to get it to flip from the directions and it seems to be consistent. It’s even become entertainment for my dog. All in all I’d absolutely buy this again. It was great having a toy my son could operate all on his own.

We just ordered this little saucer a few days ago. My 5 yr old grandson LOVED it. Past tense. It worked a little to well. We played with it in the backyard. He was having so much fun. It would go up a six feet or so and come right back down. We took in the frontyard and let it go. I started for my hollering for my wife and started laughing. All 3 of us watched in amazement as it cleared the upper atmosphere and head into deep space never to be seen again. My little one did not think it was so funny. He and I came to immediately ordered another one. It was so cool to watch go. Needless to say, the next one will be for inside use ONLY. Great day.

The red one worked exactly as described from the get-go. The blue one had some issues in a room with a ceiling around 9 feet high. It would rise to the ceiling and bump itself against the ceiling until it finally got tired of that at which time it would dive bomb to the floor. Once we moved it to a room with a cathedral ceiling, it functioned exactly as it should. They were a lot of fun for adults and kids alike. Would recommend them. Of note, even when the blue one crashed itself to the floor, it did not break. Just wish they would last longer with each charge.

This is so much fun when it works. It belongs to my 6 year old but her 13 year old brother has just as much fun with it as she does. The first one broke after several indoor uses. The next never broke, she lost it flying it outside (much more fun), it went up to high and landed out of site. Ordered a 3rd and it wouldn’t work but they exchanged it right away. This one works for a few minutes and then has to sit for a bit and then will fly again, maybe the motor gets too hot? It’s easy enough for a 6 year old to fly it on her own. After leaving this review the company sent us another one and followed up after to make sure we were satisfied
