Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My 5 year old daughter and 7 year old son both really like this toy. It is not as easy to use or quiet like they make it appear in the commercial. There is a plug on the base that you must hook up to the fairy to charge it. When it is done charging you disconnect the plug from the fairy and then turn it's power switch to the on position. The fairy will not charge if it's power switch is not in the off position. This is the part my kids have problems with. After the fairy is charged and it's power is turned on it is easy for kids to use. All they have to do is press the button and the fairy takes flight. It tends to fly strait up and hit the ceiling then lowers down slowly until comes close to something below it. When it senses something below it the engine speeds up and it goes higher again. My kids really like enjoy making it fly around the room. If it hits something it will fall to the ground and then shut off. If you are able you can grab it by the legs and then hit the button on the base twice and it will shut down. It is better for younger kids than a remote controlled helicopter because it hovers and they can make it fly higher by simply putting a hand beneath it. What would make the product perfect is if you could simply turn on the base and the fairy started charging. However for a toy we got on sale for $35 I guess you can't have everything. Oh and it states quite clearly on the box that this toy is NOT for outdoor use. I would suggest you follow these instructions. The fairy will fly quite high when it first launches and even the air blowing from our AC vents can push it easily around the room. Outside this thing could end up stuck on a roof or in a tree very easily.
