Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As you probably know by now, this product does not work all that well. It tends to go flying off randomly and smack into things. The videos showing it hovering over a child's hand must have been faked somehow, or maybe 1 in every 100 of these actually works. The valiant sales reps from the company have flooded these reviews with advice urging users to reset the fairy, and / or replace the defective one they received with a replacement. I tried the reset a few times, and did not seek replacement as obviously there seem to be more defective ones than functional ones in the hands of users... Is this an utter failure? Heck no, my daughter loves it, and the thrill of seeing the darn thing go whirling off to smack into the ceiling or furniture had her rolling on the floor with laughter. Clearly, our little one is not the tender sensitive soul that might be distraught at a crashing fairy. The toy is immensely durable as it has survived literally dozens of collisions with various surfaces and many falls from ceiling to floor intact. If you child would be similarly delighted with flying fairy demolition derbies. have at it. My wife and myself were both hit in the head with this thing and it stung a bit, no serious damage. (That said, it might hit someone right in the eye, in which case your injuries might be more significant...) If you want to try to get the Divine Wind Fairy to hover, launch the fairy from your hand while sitting close to the floor in a big room with plenty of space. We did get it to hover for a few seconds over familial hands this way, but then crash, boom, off it went. The novelty value of the constant random veering flights and crashes wears off quickly enough. Maybe you should get a Syma remote controlled helicopter that can actually be controlled by the user, works consistently, and costs the same or less than Dive Bomber Fairy? Maybe, but helicopters aren't quite as girly as fairies I guess!
