    Fell in love with the droids by Sphero and purchased this as a Christmas gift for a nephew. Amazing details, great driving experience and they nailed the drifting. Works very well on tile and hardwood floors. Its an indoor toy only in opinion, as the tires will wear on concrete as they seem a rubbery finish. Charges fast, about 30 minutes, and the app for the car is very cool with 2 modes to drive. Can drive about 90 minutes before needing a charge which is also good. Interactions are top notch and the voice seems like licensed real voices of Owen Wilson from or by Disney.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2017
    So far this toy is amazing. You will need to connect WiFi and Bluetooth to update the audio and firmware but it doesn't take long. My son has been bouncing him off walls with no issues. Needs to charge for a half hour so I updated right off the bat as he needs to be plugged in to update. Well put together and the box he comes in makes excellent storage and holds him stationary during transport. No weird glitches or anything I will update if there are any issues.
