    We originally got this to mess with our dogs. They weren't that ammused by it. So we ended up returning it. I feel like it would be a fun toy for a young child. Not sure exactly what its use it for. I like the idea though.

    These are great to play with and seemingly indestructible. Checkout YouTube for tricks. Get some ramps to crank up the fun. Even the little kids in the neighborhood can operate this.

    This was a present for my daughter. She loves it. She has used the Shpero smaller ball shapes but likes the movement of this Darkside model and the built in lighting.

    My son has been saving a long time and finally had enough to buy with his own money. He is very happy with his purchase. He controls it with his iPhone 5.
