Got three of them, on clearance, for $7.00 each. Everyone from my parents to my grandkids are acting like idiots out in the back yard. Best $21 I've ever spent. lol
I just got one for myself as well. My niece is getting one for Christmas and this was she and Auntie B can play with them together. My brother got himself one as well. I am hoping we will have fun and play together often :)
@mleecthulhu check out Home Depot or lowes in their as seen on TV sections they have one for sale. Online retailers increase the price around Christmas. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
i remember when i took one to the park. some kid grabbed it and threw it. it literally started hovering away. ive had the boomerang ball for a few months and its still as fun as the first day i got it. im glad you explained how it works in the video. a lot of people call it a scam. it just depends on whether you bought the real one or not, and if the moter is too heavy.
I just bought one for my granddaughter last night at walmart $16.95. Its called wonder spiral. It works good. My granddaughters father seem to hog it. He could get it to fly half a foot ball field . The granddaughter shes 3 years old . She gets so excited chasing it . Its more fun in the dark outside. Worth every penny. Granddaughter looks at it charging with red light. When its charged it turns green . She sees the green light and runs around house telling us its green. She want to fly it.
Got the same one from Walmart. A few bucks cheaper. They wanted 30 I wound up waiting and getting it for $14. Charging now. Watching video and commenting while it's charging. Glad to hear it works!! Well lights green now !! Time to play with my 4 year old grandson. Hope he likes it!!
I picked one up today at lowes. I plan to have hours of fun with my 3 year old daughter with it. She likes to play catch with me and our pomeranian. Gonna have to keep this one away from the dog, but she will absolutely love it.
I just bought one of these for my grandsons (and me) and this video was very helpful in getting me started on using. Only caution, when using inside keep clear of other people. It hit my wife on the head. She was not happy.
The one I got at home Depot is called the Wonder Ball. I don't know if it's me or whatever but I can't get it to hover and it seems a little bit heavy or maybe it's just not spinning fast enough to gain altitude but when I toss it across the room it sort of flies more like a controlled falling and then it bounces around and then usually ends up upside down and still spinning. It really isn't for a dog because they tend to tear things up like this very easily but I got a little bit of a workout just chasing the darn thing so there's that.
I just bought this item for a friend's daughter for Christmas. I wanted to see how if it worked and the instructions are not the best at helping me understand. I will definitely send this video to her mom so she can understand better how it works. Thanks for the great video.
Tried to get one for my grandson for Christmas. Purchased first week of December and did not arrive until first week of January. Fan has never turned on. Big disappointment to a 9 year old boy and his grandfather and waste of $30. Good to see you got one that worked.
I was given this as a gift... the instructions were clearly not written by someone whose first language was English, so I'm pleased to learn about how to do the boomerang throw. It is also supposed to hover, and I was hoping to see that as well.
I can't count the number of times I've seen a young boy (or girl) having a game of catch for the first time, and took forever to (also, not be afraid of and) catch the ball. With this thing... it "floats" so kids have a chance to catch it (and not be so afraid of something being thrown at them)! Awesome toy. I'm over 50, and though I see a lot of toys that I would have loved to own when I was younger (at least under 20)... I really kind of want to get one of these things (plus, I *L-O-V-E* things that light-up)!! I almost bought that "functioning" Eye of Agamotto" (toy) from Doctor Strange... but decided not to. I'd have "played" Doctor Strange for about 10 minutes, then put that thing on its stand and never touch it again. But this hover ball... I also have cats, and I know that thing would drive them nuts. I HAVE TO GET ONE!!!
Lol. I'm the same way. The toys kids have these days are awesome. You won't be disappointed with the hover ball...unless it doesn't come back...lol. thanks for stopping by and commenting
@@katymorris7853Just have to laugh. Her or his hair got stuck. That was posted one year ago. So 3 months later this was posted. I could see that person waiting 3 months for an answer walking around with a Wonderball stuck to her head. 😂
I got one last night at work. People have been returning them, not understanding how to use it. It's fun. The frustrating part is the short run time. At only $15, maybe I need more than one. It's a fun toy, gets you moving.
Thankyou for showing how throw it ! I bought for gift for nieces n nephews few yrs back but accommodations weren’t suitable. Shipping it w your link for instruction!
Hey Jeff...first thanks for the great review! Now to the our experience...Our Flynova Pro just simply flew away. We were trying it out (once) in a big play field near our home with our six year old grandson. He, of course, got the first toss (and the last). The device went up and up and up. The three of us watched at first amused, then concerned and finally frustrated. The Flynova Pro literally flew out of sight. We all looked around in the sky for some time, but no luck. Our grandson was quite unhappy and we were perplexed. What happened?! Some of the reviews state that the device can go up to 15 meters up if you use the 'magic wand'. Some have said they flew it over their house. I have to say our device could have flow over some of the skyscrapers in downtown Seattle. So, if you can reflect on this it would be great. We actually purchased two of these, but are now very hesitant to use the second one. The Flynova Pro may just fly away again! I am very impressed with your response to most of the 219 comments.
That stinks! The highest I was able to get mine was about 30 ft (9 m). It shouldn't go up and up and disappear unless it caught some wind. What I do with my son is, we first practiced in the house (in a room without breakable item). When we went outside the first time I ran down the battery for a couple of minutes. That way it wasn't a full charge and wouldn't take off. Sorry I couldn't troubleshoot specifics. Hope round 2 is better. Do you have the magic wand with yours? Thanks for sharing your experience with this item and commenting 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u Thanks for the reply! First, there was no noticeable wind when the toy went up and disappeared. Without a garage, can not say we have any rooms without breakable items. Not sure about running down the battery since there is no way to measure the charge. I searched all the reviews on Amazon for one of the recommended companies that sold this and found that 21 other customers had the same result that I had. The best solution I saw for this major problem was to tie a string to it. Not ideal, but better than watch $30 to $40 liter fly away. Less I deem this. Piece of crap, the seller needs to address this major issue!
Still figuring out! My one has a plastic remote that starts/stops it rather than shaking it. When you hold it at an angle to get the boomerang I assume the USB socket end is facing towards you? After a year is yours still working as it does like a short life for this is likely!
I bought this as a gift for my partner....so I wanted to see if it worked. I couldn't get it to run and thought it was broken. I watched your video.. and it started right up. I was laughing so much chasing it around the house. Thanks for the helpful video. Christmas should be a hoot...when they open this gift. 🤪🎄😏
Thanks for the hair warning. I got a set of three for $40 for my grandchildren. One has long hair so now I know how to coach them. I’m playing with one to get the feel and learn how to show them how it works. Thanks.
Very good video! I ordered 2, the first one came for my 6 yr old grandson, who's loving it after 2 days of playing with it, and the next one is on the way, for my 3 yr old (and very precocious!) granddaughter. If you learn how to use it the right way, this toy will put a smile on the lucky kid who gets one!
I have a Kmart flying ball. First time on a blade snapped on startup as it hit the gear. Return for replacement & it started ok but didn't have any power dropping to ground the LED light came unglued & its also the power.
Hi Jeff, of all places I saw one of these in one of end caps of a Lowes for 14.95….I like you bounced it off of the walls, the kids love it, but as you say after 10 mins it’s out of power…great review
I bought one for $15 at home Depot yesterday thinking that it was a dog toy that I could control with my phone. I gave it a shot anyway and tried using it as a therapy device. I use it as a personal fan now.
We bought two galaxy balls for our grand kids because we thought they would be a nice Christmas present for them. After they arrived in the mail we decided to test them out to see how they work. My wife turned it on and threw it into the air to see how it would fly. She kept throwing it into the air but it was very difficult to control its flight. After many attempts we both decided that it was far too difficulty for our grand kids who are ages 4-10 to operate and control. Because of that, we both decided to return the product back to the store for a full refund. I think an older kid and some adults would have fun playing with this toys outdoors after learning how to control its flight. Perhaps this toys would be better suited for kids older than 10 years old and perhaps some adults but not little kids.
Thanks Jeff it’s the lights that excite however, I would probably buy a group of them for 7$ a piece. Anything over that they can keep it besides it’s always a charger involved with all the new toys now a days ❗️‼️💯💯💯3rd 👁️ flying ball comment 💥💥💥
You put this link in your video of the string thing and your son was in it and he's here too. Nice touch with the family review. He looked like he was having fun in both videos.
Hi Jeff, I bought this to play around with because it looked interesting. I will need to put more time into it, to figure out how to use it in the ways you mentioned. Thanks for uploading this review it’s been very helpful and has made me realise, I need to practice more.
I just ordered 2 of these. 1 for my son & 1 for my son in-law...I still haven't received notification/verification so, I hope they show up before Christmas....or at all🤦♀️
I love ❤️ how HAPPY that child is!! 😍 EDIT: I got to the end. $40 bucks?!?! OUCH! That's painful. I just picked up one from Walmart for around $15.00. But appreciate the video!👍 It was much better than the one the QR code directed me to! Keep it up!
As said ADD spouse, this thing is amazing and I am also glad to know that it's not uncommon for it to plummet to the ground at exceptional speed if it flips the fan upside down
I'm 30 years old and I have a twin brother same age, I thought I'd be fun regardless of our age ha...I ordered one cause it looks fun and cool, Hope I won't regret it...I'm sure I wont...Really excited to play with it, Now it's the waiting game...boo
Bought two of them for my kids. I finally figured out how to turn it on for them. Then tried to turn it off. No luck, it just kept going. My 12 year old daughter had the LED's broken with in minutes trying to turn it off. Way to complicated to use for kids. You need a PHD to figure it out and when you do, as seemingly challenging as it is... it's made cheep and breaks easy. Good at best for adults who have patients, not good for kids under 20.
Just a warning the first time you charge your new toy stay close by. Within seconds I looked over at the FlyNova Pro and it was smoking, I grabbed the little cord to unplug it and burned my hands. So glad I didn't leave the room like I usually do when charging things. Loved your video though, now I know what it could do if it wasn't burnt.
A part of my charging cord melted! It was touching an inactive cord (not plugged in) and must have gotten overheated. The other plug is fine and functions. Now I have to get another plug for this flying ball and watch it like a hawk!
I guess that's why the ones I ordered off of Amazon say several times in the instructions to not charge it for too long. I thought they just meant don't leave it plugged in indefinitely like we might do many other things like our phones, but it would appear they actually mean charge it until it is done which is supposed to just take a short time and immediately unplug it. Might be a nice of them to stress the not following these particular directions could be a fire hazard. 🤦
Funny I stumbled onto your vids! I just had my wife but me the boomerang ball to give me for X-mas. So haven't tried it yet. I already bought the Zipstring and am having fun with it! Jeff, you should review another fidget toy called Morf! I just got that! I thought you might get a kick outta this! It's a trip! Different, and fun! See whatcha think! By the way, I'm a 63 year old kid! 😉👍
@@Jeffreviews4u it never did any better. Amazon refunded our money without having to return. My son loves it so much we ordered another one at a better price ( I tried to talk him out of it but he thinks it's the coolest ) and we're waiting for it to arrive. Idk we shall see!
Cool little toy. Bought my grandson one for Christmas. We are watching video as it charges. Like the video!! Like the Gators even better!!! Doesnt llook like video was made in Florida though!! Gonna check out more of your cool videos for some more cool toys to buy for my cool grandsons!!
It's pretty cool when you put it upside down On the floor, so it stays on the floor. the cats were interested in it that way, but not when it was in the air...lol
I'm late getting to this video review, and it's 2023 now, so Jeff, please tell us if the life of the ball is long or short. I know you said 8 minutes running time, and even drones work a short 30 mins. or more or less, but what is the quality in the long run of this flying ball? Thanks for your time. Terry
I do enjoy real boomerangs, and when I was new it took a while before I learned how to throw one so it returns to me. Each boomerang is different, some much more challenging than others. What I would like for this Boomerang Ball, is to be able to throw it long distances and have it return to me. It certainly can't be thrown as far as a real one, but the short distance of the return makes it seem like it would get boring quickly. Plus, the spinning and flying of real boomerangs, the skill of capturing physics in aerodynamics, make them enjoyable for long periods of time.
Just Bought 2 & can’t get it to shut off. Had to let battery die. I saw other videos that showed same thing u said, just shake for on & off . So disappointed !! Having ur kid playing with it was great. Thinking about this toy for my granddaughter.
I'll admit, once I got the hang of it, it is pretty fun... the hard part is sharing...lol. guess I'm getting 2 haha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I bought it for Rs.100 (which is about USD 1.25) in the last wee of july2023. I got it so cheap because this toy was not in a box & was the last piece in the shop. With the box & the remote it was about 3USD (Rs.250). switching on & off is using the small remote control which comes in the box. I wonder why you did not get the remote control with the box. You can see an IR receiver near the charging point which is to receive signal from remote.
Hi Jeff, thanks for this video, I’ll practice the way you throw. One question, how to stop it? Ten on/off button is under the frame, thus when it turn the whole thing inside turns quickly, cna t access the off button.
My 5 yearold has already tagged her finger accidentally while catching it. I am wondering what this thing will do to long hair if it gets sucked into the blades. Will it shut off and how quickly!?!?
Thank you for making this thing seem more logical! Yours is definitely built differently than mine. My model has got to be a cheap knockoff. PS. You're Wonderful!!
im charging up the one i bought for my niece now, ive tried it to make sure it works, but it seems to just want to immediately flip upside down. well see how it goes i guess
I brought one last night for my granddaughter for her birthday......it was so pretty at night, the beautiful colors were amazing, she was so happy & excited but then when it started floating in the air it kept on going higher & higher that she couldn't reach it. She was so devastated because the ball was gone. This truly broke my heart to see how sad she was on her birthday. We even took out a 2 year protection. So now no ball and no money.....how can she get it replaced..... upset & disappointed....
You just turn upside down to shut off. Top up, tilt towards you a little gently push fwd. It will come back to you. Tilt fwd to gently toss to a friend.
@@Jeffreviews4u It's a bit nosey? Does it ask too many personal questions or something? (Sorry I couldn't resist being a bit of a wise guy on that one!) But I actually think the noise is kind of cool! Great review by the way.
Used it once Indoors for 5 minutes, hardly crashed it anywhere but the drone doesn't spin anymore just makes a noise, fully charged it again and tried, no luck
Thanks, Jeff! Will not charge because the USB port on it will not fit into any of my charging ports! I won’t be able use it if I can’t figure this out. Any suggestions? Thank you!!
kinda cool, that was a good catch by your son , which made me think that is a cool toy for kids to get better hand eye coordination, could help with football skilzzz lol, lol
Our boy just opened his up Christmas Eve. Went outside and threw it twice and went to the ground lol Going to work on it tomorrow Christmas and see how it works. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for your honest review. 😎👍It looks very cumbersome to use and the limited of run time of 8 minutes and the 30 minutes charge time's is a bummer.
I got one of these for Christmas and my initial take was the same as yours. It just seems to randomly do its own thing. Hilarious at first but the joke gets old fast. Thanks for demonstrating that it can be, “tamed,” with a little practice. I’ll keep trying. By the way, mine came with written instructions which said some thing about a, “magic wand,“ and some magnetic something or other. I did not see anything like that inside the box, though. Do you know anything about that?
Some of these come with a remote control to turn it off and on. That could possibly be the wand...not sure about the magnet. Keep practicing. I'm brave enough to use it inside now. Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I picked up a few more of these...these ones came with a magnet hat which clips above the motor. Seems to hold it upright and Flys a little easier. The wand is an optional extra purchase to control the lights in flight. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Hi, you had a young child play with it, and I was thinking the same with mine who is similar age but is there a risk of their fingers going inside when it is on?
i've just got it for this Christmas i like it and also the electric scooter i tried it out that was cool you can use the electric mode or just push your own self like a normal scooter
Hello, I really liked this toy, not sure but I assume that this boy wearing green that participated on this video is your son, how old is him ? How old would you believe or saying in this toy that an kid minimum age for playing this toy? I have 6 years old daughter and I'm wondering for buying it but not sure if she will enjoy play with it or just get frustrated with difícult at beginning... Can you reply those questions please? Thank you very much for your video

We bought two galaxy balls for our grand kids because we thought they would be a nice Christmas present for them. After they arrived in the mail we decided to test them out to see how they work. My wife turned it on and threw it into the air to see how it would fly. She kept throwing it into the air but it was very difficult to control its flight. After many attempts we both decided that it was far too difficulty for our grand kids who are ages 4-10 to operate and control. Because of that, we both decided to return the product back to the store for a full refund. I think an older kid and some adults would have fun playing with this toys outdoors after learning how to control its flight. Perhaps this toys would be better suited for kids older than 10 years old and perhaps some adults but not little kids.
Thanks Jeff it’s the lights that excite however, I would probably buy a group of them for 7$ a piece. Anything over that they can keep it besides it’s always a charger involved with all the new toys now a days ❗️‼️💯💯💯3rd 👁️ flying ball comment 💥💥💥
Don't even think twice about it, this product is pure garabage and does not work as advertised.
You put this link in your video of the string thing and your son was in it and he's here too. Nice touch with the family review. He looked like he was having fun in both videos.
Two of his favorite items I've reviewed. Especially since he gets to keep them when I'm done. Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
That looks like hours of fun for the kids - I can tell your son really enjoyed playing with it :)
Lol...he sure did...hours of fun 10 minutes at a time. Ha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Same as with a drone, hours of fun (8-10 minutes at a time). $40 is a lot for a 10 minute playtime. that $40 is half price btw.
48 years young and still alot of fun
Hi Jeff, I bought this to play around with because it looked interesting. I will need to put more time into it, to figure out how to use it in the ways you mentioned. Thanks for uploading this review it’s been very helpful and has made me realise, I need to practice more.
Happy to help! It for sure takes some getting used to. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 👍
Must be a living Dream for your boy to have such a dad :)) god bless you
Lol. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
Bought one from Amazon. My son waited 7 days after his BD and was so excited. Worked for about 1/2 hour. Then quickly broke.
That stinks. Hopefully you can return or exchange it. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
All others reviews I have seen show that it doesn't last more than an hour or so. Lots of disappointed buyers
@@pattidavis8043 - when you say "doesn't last," what happens? The plastic breaks? The motor won't start? ?? Thanks
I just ordered 2 of these. 1 for my son & 1 for my son in-law...I still haven't received notification/verification so, I hope they show up before Christmas....or at all🤦♀️
It’s pretty cool device I have one myself. I just got it from other day at Walmart in Rapid City, SD
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
The first time I tried it, I lost the light thing. Thank you for the demonstration.
They are easy to lose, especially if it is windy. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Which would be a good Christmas gift for someone who has never used one and does not want to practice?
I love ❤️ how HAPPY that child is!! 😍
EDIT: I got to the end. $40 bucks?!?! OUCH! That's painful. I just picked up one from Walmart for around $15.00. But appreciate the video!👍 It was much better than the one the QR code directed me to! Keep it up!
They dropped in price after Christmas last year. I was able to pick up a couple extra for $15. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I just bought one off Groupon for $5.99! Plus shipping.
On amazon its 25.99$
@@QZMOMO I got mine on Amazon for 11$
i also found one for 11$ before deciding to buy the more expensive one
I got this for my ADD spouse and he's very excited to try it. I sent him this to both explain wtf I got him and how to use it, lol.
As said ADD spouse, this thing is amazing and I am also glad to know that it's not uncommon for it to plummet to the ground at exceptional speed if it flips the fan upside down
Also thank you to my lovely wonderful partner
Excellent review! Got this for my son in law for xmas 2022, and your demo was extremely helpful! Your style of review is AWESOME! Subscribing!
I appreciate the feedback and support! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
I'm 30 years old and I have a twin brother same age, I thought I'd be fun regardless of our age ha...I ordered one cause it looks fun and cool, Hope I won't regret it...I'm sure I wont...Really excited to play with it, Now it's the waiting game...boo
They are a lot of fun for kids of all ages. How did it go?
I just ordered one for my grandson, who is 9 years old, I think it will at least take him away from the video games for a while!!
Lol...it is a lot if fun! Let is know what he thinks. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
$40!! I paid half that for mine! Your video was encouraging, as it can be so frustrating at first! I was glad to see it wasn't just me!
I got mine at Walmart for 14.99.
Bought two of them for my kids. I finally figured out how to turn it on for them. Then tried to turn it off. No luck, it just kept going. My 12 year old daughter had the LED's broken with in minutes trying to turn it off. Way to complicated to use for kids. You need a PHD to figure it out and when you do, as seemingly challenging as it is... it's made cheep and breaks easy. Good at best for adults who have patients, not good for kids under 20.
Just a warning the first time you charge your new toy stay close by. Within seconds I looked over at the FlyNova Pro and it was smoking, I grabbed the little cord to unplug it and burned my hands. So glad I didn't leave the room like I usually do when charging things.
Loved your video though, now I know what it could do if it wasn't burnt.
Wow! Thanks for sharing. Glad you were there.
A part of my charging cord melted! It was touching an inactive cord (not plugged in) and must have gotten overheated. The other plug is fine and functions. Now I have to get another plug for this flying ball and watch it like a hawk!
I guess that's why the ones I ordered off of Amazon say several times in the instructions to not charge it for too long. I thought they just meant don't leave it plugged in indefinitely like we might do many other things like our phones, but it would appear they actually mean charge it until it is done which is supposed to just take a short time and immediately unplug it. Might be a nice of them to stress the not following these particular directions could be a fire hazard. 🤦
I just received one for Christmas and want to know more about it.
They are a pretty cool toy! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Funny I stumbled onto your vids! I just had my wife but me the boomerang ball to give me for X-mas. So haven't tried it yet. I already bought the Zipstring and am having fun with it! Jeff, you should review another fidget toy called Morf! I just got that! I thought you might get a kick outta this! It's a trip! Different, and fun! See whatcha think! By the way, I'm a 63 year old kid! 😉👍
We are only getting three minutes after charging. We are timing it. Going to charge it longer to see if that helps. Really cool toy still.
Wow. Let us know how long it lasts with a longer charge. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u it never did any better. Amazon refunded our money without having to return. My son loves it so much we ordered another one at a better price ( I tried to talk him out of it but he thinks it's the coolest ) and we're waiting for it to arrive. Idk we shall see!
Fun toy, we have 2. The battery doesn’t last very long . Like 10 minutes and you gotta charge again.
That's about how long of use we get too. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
That boy was having what is called pure fun. Great to see!
Cool little toy. Bought my grandson one for Christmas. We are watching video as it charges. Like the video!! Like the Gators even better!!! Doesnt llook like video was made in Florida though!! Gonna check out more of your cool videos for some more cool toys to buy for my cool grandsons!!
Hey Man ..! Went and got one after seeing one at my stepsons for Christmas !! We got it down .. after about an hour .. very cool for the price !!
I ordered it but havent got it yet! Thanks for the info!!
Our cat loves to chase it all through the yard. Still practicing, but having fun.
Go Bills!!!
Keep at it, it gets easier over time. Oh yeah Go BILLS!
It's pretty cool when you put it upside down On the floor, so it stays on the floor. the cats were interested in it that way, but not when it was in the air...lol
Go Bills!
I'm late getting to this video review, and it's 2023 now, so Jeff, please tell us if the life of the ball is long or short. I know you said 8 minutes running time, and even drones work a short 30 mins. or more or less, but what is the quality in the long run of this flying ball? Thanks for your time. Terry
I do enjoy real boomerangs, and when I was new it took a while before I learned how to throw one so it returns to me. Each boomerang is different, some much more challenging than others. What I would like for this Boomerang Ball, is to be able to throw it long distances and have it return to me. It certainly can't be thrown as far as a real one, but the short distance of the return makes it seem like it would get boring quickly. Plus, the spinning and flying of real boomerangs, the skill of capturing physics in aerodynamics, make them enjoyable for long periods of time.
got one for my granddaughter, can’t wait to try it myself😊
They are a lot of fun! Let us know what you think. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Just Bought 2 & can’t get it to shut off. Had to let battery die. I saw other videos that showed same thing u said, just shake for on & off . So disappointed !!
Having ur kid playing with it was great. Thinking about this toy for my granddaughter.
It is a little awkward to turn it of. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your review. You have helped me make a decision for my two nephews and niece ages 6-10 -
Very cool! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
That is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time… I have to admit that is one of your more awesome items you reviewed
I'll admit, once I got the hang of it, it is pretty fun... the hard part is sharing...lol. guess I'm getting 2 haha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I bought it for Rs.100 (which is about USD 1.25) in the last wee of july2023. I got it so cheap because this toy was not in a box & was the last piece in the shop. With the box & the remote it was about 3USD (Rs.250). switching on & off is using the small remote control which comes in the box. I wonder why you did not get the remote control with the box. You can see an IR receiver near the charging point which is to receive signal from remote.
Hi Jeff, thanks for this video, I’ll practice the way you throw. One question, how to stop it? Ten on/off button is under the frame, thus when it turn the whole thing inside turns quickly, cna t access the off button.
Jeff, good video. Love that rural area. Plenty of room for roaming (and flying).
Glad you liked it! The country is a great place to learn how to use the hover Ball - lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
That is a nice rig for mid age kids, wish i had one when i was young. How bout 2-3 at a time??
Now that would be impressive. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Bro hair got stuck in my wondersphere the first day. Please tell me how do I get it out. How do I open it.

Good review, I just got one it takes practice. You should me how to use it better than the instructions did.
Happy to help. This is still one of my favorite toys. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Guessing outside any mild breeze will change it’s course
You are correct...thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
My 5 yearold has already tagged her finger accidentally while catching it. I am wondering what this thing will do to long hair if it gets sucked into the blades. Will it shut off and how quickly!?!?
Yikes! I hope your little one is ok. Definitely keep away from hair as it can get caught pretty easily. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
mine flew into the pool while activated, the minute i fished it out it kept running, the fan shook out all the water and still works for now
Just got one for the grandson! We’ll see ! 😊
Thank you for making this thing seem more logical! Yours is definitely built differently than mine. My model has got to be a cheap knockoff.
PS. You're Wonderful!!
Lol. There is a bit of a learning curve but can be a lot of fun. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 😃👍
im charging up the one i bought for my niece now, ive tried it to make sure it works, but it seems to just want to immediately flip upside down. well see how it goes i guess
I brought one last night for my granddaughter for her birthday......it was so pretty at night, the beautiful colors were amazing, she was so happy & excited but then when it started floating in the air it kept on going higher & higher that she couldn't reach it. She was so devastated because the ball was gone. This truly broke my heart to see how sad she was on her birthday. We even took out a 2 year protection. So now no ball and no money.....how can she get it replaced..... upset & disappointed....
You just turn upside down to shut off. Top up, tilt towards you a little gently push fwd. It will come back to you. Tilt fwd to gently toss to a friend.
Ordered one on Amazon saw it on yt shorts wanted to see what it looked like looks pretty cool
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Two questions:
1. Is the outside mesh of the ball made from metal or plastic?
2. How loud is it?
Thanks for the review!
It's made out of plastic and it is a bit nosey (72 dB) hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u It's a bit nosey? Does it ask too many personal questions or something? (Sorry I couldn't resist being a bit of a wise guy on that one!) But I actually think the noise is kind of cool! Great review by the way.
@@TheHaratashi lol...I love auto correct.
Great review! It looks like a fun thing, esp night flights!
It is a pretty cool toy! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
Used it once Indoors for 5 minutes, hardly crashed it anywhere but the drone doesn't spin anymore just makes a noise, fully charged it again and tried, no luck
Mine does that to did you have any luck fixing it?
@@allans_fork I got a refund, and the shop told me to throw it away.... But the other one worked, although it gives about 3 or 4 mins air time
@@nurulislam1284 thank you for the advice
Glad they sent you a new one!
I just picked up one of these or well a similar one at walmart for less then 10 bucks on clearance, no regrets so far, fun little toy.
Thanks, Jeff! Will not charge because the USB port on it will not fit into any of my charging ports! I won’t be able use it if I can’t figure this out. Any suggestions? Thank you!!
I got one for a couple dollars from amazon they call it the boomarang ball.
ive read on
another site it can be bluetooth capable. i dont know if its the same for this ball
kinda cool, that was a good catch by your son , which made me think that is a cool toy for kids to get better hand eye coordination, could help with football skilzzz lol, lol
Our boy just opened his up Christmas Eve. Went outside and threw it twice and went to the ground lol Going to work on it tomorrow Christmas and see how it works. Thanks for the video!
I got one since i opened mine on Christmas eve and it keeps going to the ground.
Lol...it takes a little practice but it's a lot of fun
Mine has a side labeled "UP" and this side must be up -- it's feels counter-intuitive
@@luisgaming7248 Mine does that when I hold it upside down (and the "natural" way to hold it is upside down)
Thanks for your honest review. 😎👍It looks very cumbersome to use and the limited of run time of 8 minutes and the 30 minutes charge time's is a bummer.
The limited run is a bit disappointing, but it is a fun toy...while it lasts lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Great review however it sounds annoyingly loud on the video so that to me is a deterrent in purchasing . Thanks for great review tho.
fantastic review that I absolutely needed before I gave this thing to my niece. (amazing uncle present BTW). Subscribed!
Lol...this an amazing uncle gift! Let us know what she thinks. Thanks for the support! 😃 👍
I got one of these for Christmas and my initial take was the same as yours. It just seems to randomly do its own thing. Hilarious at first but the joke gets old fast. Thanks for demonstrating that it can be, “tamed,” with a little practice. I’ll keep trying.
By the way, mine came with written instructions which said some thing about a, “magic wand,“ and some magnetic something or other. I did not see anything like that inside the box, though. Do you know anything about that?
Some of these come with a remote control to turn it off and on. That could possibly be the wand...not sure about the magnet. Keep practicing. I'm brave enough to use it inside now. Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I picked up a few more of these...these ones came with a magnet hat which clips above the motor. Seems to hold it upright and Flys a little easier. The wand is an optional extra purchase to control the lights in flight. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! Got this for my boys & this video by far is the best one to show them how to use it!!!
That's awesome! Happy to help. Thanks for sharing.
I got.But is effects like a good and is throws coming away
You're great at doing videos Jeff! I was thinking 🤔 of buying one but I wanna know how you like it now that you have had it for a while
We still play with it, The price has dropped significantly and so we bought a few more. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
You tilt it toward yourself at a 10 to 30 degree angle- before you throw it! Then, it's supposed to come back to you!
This is correct. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
mine won't stay on, after a full charge. Spins for a few seconds then shuts off. Thank goodness Amazone returns are easy.
Sounds like you have a dud. Hopefully you can return/exchange it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
So I ordered the product but it didn’t come with a outlet to plug it in too do you have a suggestion what I can use or plug it in too?

Hi, you had a young child play with it, and I was thinking the same with mine who is similar age but is there a risk of their fingers going inside when it is on?
i've just got it for this Christmas i like it and also the electric scooter i tried it out that was cool you can use the electric mode or just push your own self like a normal scooter
