Force1 Scoot Hand Operated Drone for Kids or Adults – Hands Free Motion Sensor Mini Drones for Kids, Easy Indoor Small UFO Toy Flying Ball Drone Toy for Boys and Girls Kids…

Let me answer a few questions that I saw here. I hope this helps future buyers:

1) the battery lasts over 5 minutes when fully charged, which is enough for having fun with kids. I have two kids (8yo and 4yo) and they absolutely love this drone.

2) it takes around half hour to fully charge the battery (it uses a standard USB A port, power adapters also work). It consumes around 3W of power while charging, until fully charged (then it stops consuming any power).

3) it comes with a USB power cable. The end that connects to the USB port lights up (red light) when the drone is fully charged, which is counter intuitive, note that there is no visual signs until the drone is fully charged. The end that connects to the drone doesn't fully insert, which leaves customers wondering if it's really charging or properly connected.

4) you should calibrate the drone before using it, the process is REALLY simple, takes a few seconds, it doesn't need anything other than the drone itself, and it's explained in the manual.

5) there are at least 3 sensors: one on one side of the drone, another on the opposite side, one at the bottom. I'm not sure there is a 4th sensor on the top (there is a LED light there though) because sometimes the drone stays pushing against the ceiling for a few seconds, which might indicate it doesn't sense the ceiling, not sure.

6) the plastic case is light and relatively soft, which helps in absorbing impacts when the drone falls, however it's not indestructible and you should expect some cracks here and there after a few days of intensive use, which shouldn't affect the usability.

7) the gaps in the case will let tiny fingers to reach inside (blades), so maybe it's not a good idea to let very young kids (<4yo) to grab it. That said, I don't believe the small plastic propellers would cause any serious harm, but I don't know.

8) do not play with the drone outdoors! As I mentioned above, the drone sometimes gets stuck pushing against the ceiling, so if outdoors it would likely fly very high and maybe away from your reach.

9) yes, it works fine even in low ceiling houses/condos and small living rooms, but of course the more space you have the funnier it will be.

10) you control the drone's altitude by placing or removing your hand (or another flat object) under the drone. You can somewhat direct the drone to where you want by putting your hand on the opposite side of the drone. That's all you can control.

11) the drone will shut down all its propellers if it hits anything, then it will obviously fall to the ground. It will also shut down if it's grabbed.

12) the drone will turn upright even if you throw or drop it upside down. Actually it's cool to watch it doing that.

Birthday gift for grandson. Fast delivery received it way before the actual delivery date.
Very cool little gizmo!!

This toy is super fun I got it for my five-year-old son. It’s very easy to use once you learn how to control it. The only downfall is the battery does not last long

It was a big hit Christmas Day with kids and adults!

Looks and feels like the price you pay for it...cheap. But 5 stars for the entertainment value it brings to my 3.5 and 1.5 y.o. kids.
I see lots of complaints battery, breaking, etc but we just haven't seen that.
2 months owned, used everyday. Often 2 or 3 times in a day.
Still getting 5 min of use after 50 min of charging even though we leave it plugged in after charging done. Directions say to unplug after 50 min of charging or when the red light of the plug head turns off. Yeah, we don't do that. Still works and hasn't caught fire so that's good.
Comes with extra prop blades. Good thing too since they do fall off sometimes. Remember that the blade orientation is alternating.
Does a surprisingly good job of sensing walls and ceilings.
Surprisingly durable too. Older kid has been playing a game knocking it out of the air for the last month. Still ticking.
Bright red and green lights adding more fun in a dark room.

My son fell in love with this toy when we visited his cousin's house, so we HAD to get one for him. Unfortunately, the original drone that we got stopped working after one use. I reached out to the company with pretty low expectations since the drone was so inexpensive, but they were SO RESPONSIVE. I got a response email within a few hours with some troubleshooting tips that did not work. When I responded again, they told me that they would be happy to send a replacement, which they did in remarkably quick fashion.

My three year-old son LOVES this toy, which he refers to as his "flyer". It is very easy to use and I find it very safe to use in a variety of spaces in our house, both big and small. There are lights on the top that create cool patterns on the ceiling when the drone gets high enough.

The only knock on the drone is that the battery runs out fairly quickly (around 7-8 minutes) and takes some time to fully recharge (~an hour). But given the very reasonable price point (we paid $25), this felt like a very fair trade-off.

Honestly, I would recommend any products from Force1RC because their customer service is amazing and responsive. I feel like companies have gotten significantly less responsive, so Force1RC's support was a breath of fresh air.
