    The setup is a little confusing but once it's up and running it's quite fun to play with. I use it on carpet and it takes a little push to get it going but once it's roaming around it maneuvers fine.

    Got it real cheap so I gave it a try. Rolls good over tile floor but not on carpet. Keep away from dog or you might lose it. It works via your tablet or phone and it works well.

    Well designed - but not good on all surfaces

    This is a well engineered product and is very innovative. My 5 year old grandson loves it. The only complaint is that it needs a smooth hard surface to work. Will not work on carpet or bumpy surfaces.

    I purchased this for my 24 year old son who loves to use this at work and around the house - fun sounds and movements (including moving a little while on the charger even)...

    Kids have everything so I was at a loss what to purchase my grandson for Christmas. I was online and it got my eye. Thought it would be bigger but he loved it and was one of his "best" gifts!

    Bought this as a gift for my husband and his excitement upon seeing this was just too heartwarming to see. The kid in him instantly resurfaced as he started playing with it!

    Anyone who's seen the new Star Wars flick loves BB-8, and this little guy is pretty darn close to the real thing. The quality of his build materials and his personality make him worth the $.

    Bought this really for decor. Looks neat and I also have the black one. I cut them on every now and then and mess with the dogs. Battery is good and app is very functional.

    I love Star Wars so I have a couple different versions of these and they are fun to play with. I love the sounds that they make, like I'm in the movie.

    THIS IS THE DROID YOU'RE LOOKING FOR: This is a great product for the hardcore Star Wars fan. BB-8 responds to voice commands, patrols the area and even watches Star Wars The Force Awakens with you.

    I can’t remember how much I bought it for, probably below 50 bucks, the chance of my kids will play with this is slim, but just good, if you are a collector of toys.

    BB-8 is so much fun. This pairs nicely on my display shelf with my Sphero R2. The head is magnetically attached and stays connected while BB rolls around on the floor.

    This was a gift for my daughter. Toy is nice but battery life is low and app has many bugs that need addressing. Not what I expected for the price.

    My wife bought this for me, and it’s an awesome little toy. I’m a huge Star Wars fan from way back, and the tech involved with making it work is way cool! Fun stuff!!

    I've had so much fun playing with this BB-unit. My dogs get a kick out of it and it's easy to use! The "head part" gets dirty easily but the traction still works fine, barely any friction.

    It was a great deal on Black Friday for $30, so I had to get it since I've always wanted one but wasnt really to pay the price it was. Im having a lot of fun with it.
