Review on Dollcora Operated Boomerang Spinner Rotating by Adam Boudreau

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fun toy that encourages physical activity

Probably the most exciting toy our little girl has had to play with this year. To be honest, I don't know who prefers playing with him, me or her. I know it's also great for helping her walk and be active, especially outdoors. WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT SKYNOVA PRO:1. A decent amount of playtime for a paid toy. We used drones that only lasted 5-10 minutes before dying. But on average we get around 20-30 minutes of gameplay with this drone. It only takes about half an hour to recharge.2. Fun for toddlers, ideal for older children to train with. It's reliable for little kids to have fun throwing around. But it's designed so older kids and adults can practice difficult tricks, too. Check out Skynova Pro on Youtube, there are some good videos on how to do tricks depending on how you position it. Will not break easily. The thing is light, but the frame is flexible and strong enough not to break. It can hit walls, fall on the ground, fall on concrete. It can take a lot of abuse and continues to fly like it was right out of the box. The lights are amazing. This thing looks amazing in a dimly lit room indoors or outdoors at night. Actually works outside. Some drones just aren't designed to fly outdoors, they fly away. This one is safe to use outdoors. But to be honest we have about ten acres of land so we have plenty of room to fly it without fear of losing it. 6. It swims best in a quiet room with no airflow. But you can still use it in rooms with air conditioning or a small fan. WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE FROM IT: 1. The power button is a little hard to reach. You have to position the spinner in a certain way and then stick your finger in just enough to trigger the power button. The same applies to the connection of the charging cable. This isn't a deal breaker, it's just worth noting that this is definitely something an adult or big kid will turn on or off. There is no magic wand "remote control" included. If you watch the video, you can assume that you will be given a magic wand to control it with. You will not. In fact, most of the Skynova Pro offerings on Revain lack the magic wand. You have to find it and buy it separately for around $15. But from other reviews I got the impression that the remote control is not that good.3. It is safe for children to catch and throw. But it's not 100% safe for children, as a small child can stick their finger through the outer grille while the propellers are spinning and get a little "pop" from the plastic blade. Seriously hurting him isn't enough, but the baby will be terrified if he sticks his finger inside while the propellers are spinning. In short, before turning it on, explain to young children that they should never put their fingers in the ball. SHOULD BUY THIS DRON? I say order it. I'm tempted to take a star off my rating just because it doesn't come with a 'removed' rod as mentioned in some product photos and videos. But it is clear that Dollcora simply took all of Skynova's photos and videos to use for the product page. So maybe they don't realize that they can confuse potential buyers. That issue aside, this is a great toy. We've never seen anything like it. It keeps us moving a lot and our daughter just loves chasing this thing. An easy way for your kids to get an extra half hour of outdoor exercise and they will enjoy it. So add it to your cart, buy today! We will be ordering a few more as gifts as every guest who comes and sees this wants one right away.
