Took some time to figure it out but once we got it going my grandchildren love it

You'll need a wide open space for this one to maintain some solid air time. Even the slightest touch of a wing on the edge of a couch or wall will send her tumbling to the ground. But we found that half of the fun comes with watching her crash - the kids absolutely love it.Battery life is pretty good, and the included charging cable (you'll need a standard USB brick, not included) is conveniently stored in the bottom of the case when the time comes for a recharge.

For whatever reason items like this do not stay charged very long, but I knew this going in. It was a gift for my 4 year old granddaughter, one she thoroughly enjoys, except for the short life span of its playability, which is frustrating for her. Fortunately, she has a great imagination, as do most 4 year old children, so, her little hands and arms make the fairy ball float around. Then, when her attention drifts to another distraction, it's charging time.

It followed your hand up and down, but it flies away you. It's difficult to control. But it is fun! I think it is worth the money.

Just a warning this thing is LOUD. I put some clear tape over the speaker which helped. The sound quality isn't great either I can barely understand what the character is saying. The babies are very cute that rides on its back.
