Let’s take flight
We may not be able to see UFOs, but we can make believe with a toy that can fly at your command. Our Gravity-Defying Flying UFO Toy flies high when it’s time to have fun. Ready for fun? Simply turn on the power button, toss this UFO into the air, and watch it hover around you. You can also control it with your hands to make it fly in multiple directions — it’s perfect for impressing friends and family or self-entertainment.
It’s smart (like out-of-this-world smart)
Guided by an ultra-smart infrared sensor, this toy follows you and flies with a mind of its own. Just turn it on and drop (or toss) it into the air and watch it go. Gesture it to go forwards, backwards, or upwards with the signal of a hand — no controllers required — for 360-degree rotation. Plus, the built-in infrared sensor utilizes hover technology so that the UFO can detect nearby objects so it won’t crash into any valuables, walls, or people.
High-flying fun that’s safe
Aside from its ultra-sharp sensor, the Gravity-Defying Flying UFO Toy also features a flexible mesh barrier for its propeller, meaning you’ll be able to move or hold the toy in your hand without fear of getting cut or hurt. Constructed from ABS plastic, the toy is also non-toxic.
Lights up the night
Built-in LED lights help illuminate the night sky or a dark room. Choose from red, blue, or gold finish for your UFO, purchase, and get ready to command your own spacecraft!
USB chargeable
Charge up this lithium battery-powered toy with a USB cord (included with purchase). The UFO fully charges in 35 minutes for eight-ten minutes of uninterrupted flying time.
Go near or far
The UFO’s sensor detects up to 33 feet (10 meters) for commands up close or from a distance.
Fun for anyone
Suitable for kids as young as five years old, this out-of-this-universe toy will impress and delight children big and small. Adults will love it too!
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.
This toy was a huge hit with the kids and adults , I had many adults asking where I got it and wanting one for themselves ! This was bought for my 5 year old but the entire family from age 5-55 enjoyed playing with this little guy. Charge time between play is about 15/20 mins and it runs roughly 7/10 mins, works exactly as described and seems to have a personality even. We were impressed with its ability to sense walls and other objects to avoid crashing. We were further impressed by its durability when crashing , it is very light weight and impact is very light and falling doesn’t harm it at all even from great heights.
We have Catherdral ceilings in part of our home and it was a delight to watch it soar so high on its own. We can’t stop playing with this little saucer it simply is a delight, if it ever stops working we will buy another one as it is well worth the price, easy to use ,and durable if used as intended ( don’t use outside , don’t get it wet, don’t overcharge it , don’t try to make it carry anything or add anything to it ) I highly recommend this little flyer to anyone
I was a little unsure what to expect with this drone – my experiences so far with drones have involved learning curves figuring out the control of and quirks of different ones. Some are really sensitive and flying can take a while to get accustomed to, which means it’s not very conducive to using with smaller kids. THIS one – was one everyone could enjoy though. Simply using our hands to keep it flying around was a lot of fun – older kids could do more to guide it, while younger kids could participate with very little eye/hand coordination. Wish the charge lasted longer, but understand the trade off for the lightweight flight ability vs short battery life. Charging time was fairly short.
I’d like to give more of a review on longevity, but after I played with it for a while, I took it with me to get feedback from an assorted age group – they were having so much fun with it, I didn’t have the heart to take it with me when I left. I will say, we crashed it fairly hard, often, without any real damage.
As others have noted – remove the (tiny) screws when taking out of the box, otherwise you’ll not be near as impressed. 🙂
Very easy to play with and use. It does have a bit of a high pitched whine but it is not intolerable. Although I haven’t timed it, it seems to run for about 7-10 minutes between charges; long enough to enjoy playing with it but not so long that the kids start to drive me crazy with it. You can direct the motion by placing your hand under it or in front of the sensors when it is flying but it does a good job of avoiding crashes on its own, in my living room with a vaulted ceiling. I don’t know how it would operate it’s low ceilings, and I definitely would not fly it outside. I’m pretty sure you would only get one opportunity to fly it outside before it disappears into the sky, since there is really no way to have any control over it remotely. Fun toy, worth the reasonable price.
I bought these for my grandsons, ages 11,8 and 5. They had a ball with them. Much better than sitting with a remote control. They are very interactive with lots of running around and laughing. The two oldest even learned how to toss it just right so it would fly into the others hands across the room.
You do have to read the directions and calibrate them after charging. They can take some knocking around as the cage is flexible. They seem to hit the ceiling in my living room quite often, but I think this had something to do with the lighting ( recessed), as it skimmed right around my kitchen ceiling. I would never let these loose outside, you’d never see them again. Definitely the more room you have inside the better.
This was a stocking stuffer type present and I didn’t have much in the way of expectations. After using it, I’m surprised this toy isn’t more popular. After charging you turn it on and rock it back and forth for just a few seconds to calibrate it. Then toss it in the air and it takes care of itself. In an open room it moves around on its own and kids can control it with what looks like Jedi hand gestures. In a cramped room it can start acting like a fly on a window screen and bounce around until it loses control because the sensors over compensate. Even so, the propellers are contained inside the body and don’t get damaged or get thread or hair wrapped up in them like other drones. The battery only lasts for about 5+ minutes, but so does my toddler’s attention span, so it’s still a great little toy.
My 6 year old has been wanting a drone of his own, but we knew he wouldn’t be able to handle anything complex. Then we found this drone. This thing is absolutely perfect for the kid and, quite frankly, all of us love it. The only complaint is the charging, which as others have noted, does not provide the ability to play with the drone for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. However, we are very happy with the purchase.
