ArtCreativity Electric Rocket Launcher Toy for Kids, Rechargeable Rocketship Toy with Safe Landing Propellers, Ultra High-Flying Rocket, STEM Outer Space Toys

My daughter was super excited to get the out of the box and play with it. Unfortunately it only lasted about 5 flights before the smoke was released from the motor and it would fly no more. I have requested a replacement but don't have high hopes it will last much longer due to the build quality of the toy.Aside from the motor dying, we did have a few flights that were successful lift-offs that were exciting although none were anywhere near 60'. The maximum height we experienced as closer to 20-30'

Great product. No complaints. Was kicked off vine unfairly so excuse the short reviews. Won't be putting in effort where it isn't appreciated.

The media could not be loaded. So, I thought this was going to be lots of fun for the 7, 5, and 3 year old. I charged it all up, and we went to the park. Well, out of like 20 launches, there was one time where it went up like 5 feet. Every other time it fell over, or just hovered off the pad and trailed the ground. It totally sucked, and they should put a hammer and sickle on the side of the rocket. The only reason I gave it two stars is the kids still wanted to keep trying it, despite the many repeated, grotesque failures.

This is a reusable toy "rocket" (it's propeller driven) that has three fins that guide it up into the air, and then the motor stops and the fins open to serve as a kind of parachute to make a soft landing. The motor is rechargeable and you can get a number of launches from one charge. It has a surprisingly sophisticated launch routine, including a short countdown of flashing lights so you have time to take shelter. It's a little difficult to figure out the sequence of steps you take to launch it due to the typically poorly translated directions, but the illustrations are better than usual and helpful.Mine came with a keychain-size remote that wasn't mentioned in the directions and, once the rocket is primed to launch, with a solid blue light, the remote can be used to launch, and also to abort the launch (turn off the motor) if needed. Maybe you could turn off the motor with the remote in case the rocket heads towards a neighbor's backyard, the one with the barking dog, but I don't know its range.I was testing out its operation indoors, holding it in my hand, so don't know how high it goes. It's quite light and delicate looking and may not last very long, but it could be a fun parent-child activity with younger kids. Older kids could learn to operate it with a little help and then play with it on their own. It needs to be used in an open space and with little or no wind. Can't speak yet to its durability, but I think it will last long enough to get stranded in a tree or land on someone's roof.

We had high hopes for this rechargeable rocket launching set. Unfortunately, it fell below expectations and even though it works, it wasn't quite what we'd hoped for. In the pictures and whatnot, it looks sturdier than it is, however as others have mentioned, it's made out of Styrofoam and tin plastic bits. It doesn't really fly well in heavy breezes or wind either. You need a pretty wide open space to launch them if there is, otherwise you risk losing it over the neighbor's fence into their yard. We live in a fairly urban area so that's a risk since the houses are close together. If you're at a park or a decent sized field, there's nothing to worry about.It's giftable, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought this for our own kids. The price is nothing to write home about either considering the flimsy materials. Would be a better buy at half the price. *shrug*

Terribly cheap and does not work

it broke with its first lift off of ground

The media could not be loaded. I was a little concerned upon arrival as when I plugged it in for the initial charge as the charging light did not come on. Turns out it may have been fully charged out of the box - which is a little unusual as most of the time rechargeables are packed at 80% full or less (see below - the charging light is hidden). You do NOT want to lose the yellow charging cable! The connector is USB on one end, but a teeny-tiny 1.5mm plug on the other. I think finding a replacement would be difficult.The kit comes with the rocket, base, charging cable, instructions, and stickers. I found applying the stickers easiest by putting the rocket on the base and NOT latching the folding wings. This made it easier to align the stickers on each of the segments. The stickers are VERY sticky - make sure you get them lined up right the first time. Yes - there are extra stickers - but they will tear off a layer of styrofoam if you try to remove one. There was a label on one of the fins saying "Audioec Inc 10950, AC-2824.1, Made In China" which I removed as it interfered with the fin stickers. Some of the stickers were slightly discolored - but that didn't affect how they worked.I took it over to our basketball court and got the hang of launching it. Press the button for about 3 seconds until it stays blue AND the blue/red blinkey lights go on inside the bottom of the rocket. Then tap the button again - the blue light blinks and you have 3 seconds to LIGHTLY place it on the stand (if you put it in too hard it may not launch or will launch crooked). I flew it about 10 - 12 times in a very light wind (maybe 1 - 3 MPH) before the rocket didn't seem to be flying as high as the original 60 feet or so. I thought it was hungry, and wanted more fuel.Once inside, I plugged it in and - - I did not see a red charging light. My power block is good - but no light. OK - maybe it's not hungry enough. So I held onto it and ran the launch cycle 20 times. Didn't seem to be any difference in the fan speed between first and last - still no charging light. 5 more cycles - now the fan would not run at all. Maybe the little motor was overheated - so I let it sit for 10 minutes. It ran once more - then quit. I plugged it in - still no red charging light, but I left it plugged in just in case. Wait a minute! The Red Charging Light (NOT one of the blinkey lights) is HIDDEN deep inside the bottom of the blue base! I didn't see it until I turned out the lights before leaving the room! I left it plugged in x 2 hours. Upon return, red light out, ready to go.I noticed that the spindle on the rocket that fits into the stand is tapered, but the stand is straight. When fully seated, the spindle binds a little on the stand. This is necessary, otherwise the rocket will spin instead of the fan ==> insufficient thrust.I feel like Simon Cowl on AGT. I was all prepared to hate this thing - but I think I really like it. It did what it said it would, and I think it will give 30+ launches on a single charge. Launch in 0 - 3 MPH winds and you'll be happy :)As an interesting aside - this kit came with one of those small pocket sized LED lights (the yellow triangle). It didn't work. So I opened it up and tried a new CR1220 battery (which I had on hand). No joy. Under magnification there was a blob of solder flux between the LED anode and cathode, which shouldn't be a problem, but I removed it anyway. It also appeared Pin4 of IC1 had a cold solder joint - so I touched that up. Still no light. I can only assume that the big blob of solder connecting Pin3 to the LED caused IC1 to overheat, killing the little light. Still a mystery how that light passed QC and wound up in the box. I gave it a decent burial.Please note - images were uploaded in order, but Amazon scrambles them. So you will find 'little light' images mixed in with rocket images.
