This thing is a blast to play with, the looks alone is great, the led lights on the head are cool looking, where bb 8 does not have them, the sounds come from your smart device was a little disappointing, but with the force band is cool, I recommend on getting one

I absolutely love this droid! BB-9E is a great companion and someone I find intriguing. I know it is not sentient and sapient, but it comes to life with my phone and is a lot of fun to play with. I do not care how old I am, this is a great choice and I wish I had the other two droids.

the droid is a fun thing little thing to play with. A little slow on carpet but that’s expected. The feature to watch a star wars movie with it is pretty exciting. While your watching it’ll start making noise and that’s all i was waiting for while the movie was on. All in all worth the money!

This was for my son, who is a huge Star Wars fan. I know he is going to love it and I got a great deal. It’s a little smaller than I thought it would be but, I know he is not going to complain.

This is the toy we all wish we had when we were a kid. My son loves programming, so he was excited to get this for his birthday. He plays with it all the time. Well worth the money.

These 4 droids are such fun. I now have BB-8 BB9 and R2D2. They are quite responsive and easy to use. I would recommend them for anyone age 5 and up.

great product, light in the heads makes it superior to bb8, would be even better if speaker and mic were in droid vs watch or phone

Man, Sphero has done it again! I got this guy and picked up R2D2, I'm hooked on IOS app enable gadgets big time. I still have to get my hands on Sphero's R2Q5 droid. If you're an adult collector, you should get this, R2D2, R2Q5, BB8, etc.

We watched a lot of videos online before picking the BB Droid. It seemed like it handles uneven floors better than R2. In our experience it does great going from carpet to hardwood to tile without getting stuck. My son loves driving it around the house. He has just started the AR missions, but likes them so far. He is using an Ipad mini 2 for control. We had a tense moment when the head fell off, but it stuck back on with no residual effects.

This was a must have to go along with the BB-8 I had purchased a couple of years ago. This is a very fun and innovative toy that is very interactive and allows you to control it through an app on your phone. It is a great addition to the Sphero collection!

Entertaining, but a little too technical for me

I'm sure the BB-9E can do many things, but it is a little too technical for me so I don't really know its full potential. I will wait until my son has it all figured out and then let him show me how it works. So far, just watching it move around and "look" at things is creepy and entertaining all at the same time!
