Air Hogs Gravitor with Trick Stick, USB Rechargeable Flying Toys, Drones for Kids aged 4 and up

This thing is dead simple to fly - but you've got to read the instructions. Unlike some flying things, it would be easy to hurt your finger by holding it wrong. I did have to correct my child a few times about letting her fingers hang into the thrust duct. The toy is almost completely automated. You turn it on, hold it by its control stick, and wait a few moments while it increases the power to flight speed. Then it flies around, with obstacle avoidance really only from underneath, until it crashes into something. The motor stops a few moments after it tips over - which is helpful - but it isn't instant shut-off and therefore there is a danger of injury if a child grabs it too quickly. According to its design the blades won't spin up except in a certain moment after power cycling, but as it's an autonomous function I try to treat the blades as "loaded" at all times when power is available. I think the device has some sort of horizontal avoidance design, but we didn't find it to be very sophisticated. It is drawn to getting stuck in the curtains, and also hovers near our glossy cabinet doors until it touches and goes out of control. By handling the control stick, older children can "catch" the UFO and in theory, send it in a horizontal direction to pass to another person. But I don't find this function to work very reliably. Instead, we just launch it and watch it fly around the room until it gets caught on something. I consider this pretty darned safe if we follow the instructions. It's quite sturdy. It's powerful, flying for a good 4 minutes or so, and recharging is quick and simple. And finally although the autonomous control features aren't incredibly sophisticated, what it does do - hover and avoid lower obstacles - I think it does in a very well-controlled way. Definitely a lot of fun.

Really cool toy. My son received it for his birthday and loves it. I think it’s a little pricey but great if you wait for a sale. The styrofoam can chip so you have to be gentle with it. Easy to use and lots of fun trying to figure it out.

Works well and charges quickly via USB, which is good for young kids waiting to play. Once the basic actions have been mastered you can learn tricks. Provides a couple of interest away from screens. Good fun and good value for money!

Great fun. A bit tricky to use, but you will get the hang of it. Battery's seem to deplete over use, so after 2 weeks use, does not have the same "power" as when new. Playtime is short @ 2 mins per charge, depending on levitation tricks. Good price on Amazon it seems.

I ordered this Air Hogs Gravitor for my almost 8yr old Son for Christmas, and I'm so disappointed with it. After my son saw multiple adverts he kept asking for it, and it did look quite impressive in the adverts plastered all over kids tv, however it is pretty much impossible to use. We can't even get it to hover, let alone do any tricks with it. My son kept trying, I've tried numerous times, his Dad has tried numerous times and none of us can get it working. It's also quite expensive for what is basically a piece of Styrofoam with a cheap little motor attached. I would have sent this back well before the end of January, unfortunately early January I contracted Covid and have been quite poorly with it until now. Sadly I seem unable to return it even though it's completely unusable, so that's £15 down the drain. Honestly avoid, it's a piece of junk!

Nothing to dislike. When we took it out of the box I was a bit dubious as it was so light weight and made out of a polystyrene like material. But it actually works. Is easy to use. And hasn't broken yet. We've been careful with it, but it's had its fair share of bumps and is still in one piece. My 5 year old was over the moon with it.

This is an excellent toy. My son and daughter love it. Not really suitable for outside as a gust of wind may take it away@

I got this on an offer and wouldn't have paid full price but my daughter who is 8 loves it. It doesn't seem very good quality for what you pay, being made of lightweight foam. My daughter cannot fly it by herself but can play and pass it with some help. You need lots of space to use it and the flight sticks are easy to lose, so it's a good idea for a purchasing parent to watch the Gravitor instruction video to get the best from it.

Rispetto alle "palle volanti" più costose, questa versione di gioco é decisamente più abbordabile con un prezzo in offerta di poco sopra le 12 euro. Inoltre la possibilità di ricarica tramite USB rende possibile evitare continui cambi di batterie e quindi costi aggiuntivi. Data la rapidità con cui i ragazzini si stufano dei giocattoli è meglio risparmiare! Il packaging è molto curato e si presta anche alle occasioni di regalo. Il gioco poi è ben congeniato sebbene qualche limite che dirò tra poco. Per giocare: bisogna accendere il piccolo interruttore sulla parte alta del gioco, tenendo per l'antenna (ne trovate una di ricambio ma attenzione a non perderla) il disco volante un paio di secondi (il tempo necessario affinché prenda velocità) e poi si può lasciare. Il disco scenderà di quota fino a che il suo sensore rivelerà un ostacolo (la mano, una gamba o il pavimento), allora aumenterà la velocità delle eliche e si rialzerà nuovamente di una trentina di centimetri. Prendendolo per l'antenna ed inclinandolo si potrà indirizzarlo verso un altro giocatore...ma questa operazione è per me molto difficile visto che il disco prende subito velocità andando a sbattere ovunque. In caso il disco si trovi capovolto si spegnerà automaticamente dopo 2 secondi e per farlo ripartire occorrerà spegnere e riaccendere il gioco muovendo l' interruttore. Il gioco è divertente ma il limite è proprio la manovrabilità visto che gli spostamenti laterali sono quantomeno molto difficoltosi. In più le pale quando colpiscono la mano o altre parti del corpo sono piuttosto dolorose e non sarebbe stato malaccio pensare a qualche tipo di schermatura sul basso per evitare questo tipo di inconvenienti. In questa settimana di gioco io e mio figlio l'abbiamo sbattuto praticamente ovunque senza che si rompesse, merito della scocca in polistirolo che lo rende sicuro anche in caso di urto contro il televisore o altro oggetto delicati. Io ve lo consoglio di sicuro! Un saluto a tutti!

Simplemente genial. A mi hija y sus amigos le encantó. Si que es verdad que va a bateria y cuando se acaba la bateria pues se acabó la diversión, la bateria dura bastante, hay que tener cuidado de no perder el palito de la parte superior. pero por lo demas genial.

Very Kool item, simple Instructions, my son thinks it has a mind of it's own!

Cool little toy. Can't speak to the mechanics of it because I got them on a good sale and donated them to children for Christmas. They were on sale under $10 at the time. Worth it.

El material es de unicel y flota solo planea, el sensor no detectó mi mano y me lastimé, pero no fue nada grave ya que el motor es basura y las hélices son de plástico
