Review on ALKNOT Rotating Fidget Spinner for Outdoor Flying Fun by Terry West

Flying Crazy Ball

This flying ball is really cool. Kids love it, adults can have fun playing with it, but the honeycomb outer body and overall design doesn't stand up to repeated falls or normal wear and tear, which changes how it works a bit. It's a pair of fans in a plastic case with an LED strip. The whole thing is semi-fragile, it can easily be crushed or the frame and bars bent, causing this thing to fly all over the place. It takes a while to get used to and really get a good boomerang, but I often find it randomly flies in and out of me as everything comes back and throws the same way every time. I'm sure this is mostly user error as a slight flick of the wrist or finger will change this thing's trajectory. The power button is a bit difficult to press with your thumb. Charging is fast and lasts long enough to be fun. This is definitely a good gift for the holidays and something that will hold your attention for a while. The remote control is separate so I wasn't able to test this feature although it looks like it's intended for younger kids so it doesn't escape their attention. It only took 2 bounces off the walls for this ball to warp slightly and felt like its design had changed forever from the factory design, but I guess that's to be expected.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Some Difficulty
