    This is a fun little robot. Great for kids (and a nice workout for cats.) Fun to steer around the house. App is intuitive and easy to use. What makes it more than just a little remote controlled toy is the ability to code it with instructions with the Sphero Edu app. Great way for kids to learn how to code by giving it a set of instructions and see it run the program and then make changes. Only con is not sure how well it will hold up if it takes a big dive off a table or down a set of stairs. Definitely going to get a few of these for nieces and nephews for the holidays.

    We bought this for our 6yr old daughter, she has used it numerous times. It is simple to use, easy to charge, came with fun obstacle course materials and has provided her with hours of exciting creating. It is small enough for her hands and is everything the regular Sphero is. To code it is simple, it charges up quickly and holds its charge.

    We got the mini sphero because we have been wanting one for awhile and the mini was 1/3 of the price of the regular sized one. We loved it so much. The kids can easily use it without any help. We went back and got 2 more in different colors!

    I work with computers and have taught programming in the past. This grabs the attention of all around. Simple enough my toddler can control it.

    Super easy to get started just driving the thing around the floor with the app, but if you dig deeper, there's lots of fun to be had with the programming. A great starter in the Spero world - it seems like the equivalent of the large 1.0 version a friend got years ago.

    Easy to set up on my phone with the app. Its a little hard to drive then not sure what direction its going to go. My puppy loved it. She wanted it and I have never heard her bark as much as she did. She did get it once.

    This ball is kind of fun. More fun for the cat though. I put this thing and start moving it around and the kitten just goes insane for this thing. She runs at it, paws at it, pounces at it and is just fascinated by this thing. The big cat doesn't care about this, but for kittens that are still very much rooted in play, they will love this thing. I guess this thing has games on it, but you will get far more enjoyment out of this thing if you have a very young kitten and just play with it through this.

    I purchased 3 of these for my children, all which have their own tables and other devices to be able to play with these. They enjoy playing with them very much. I got to admit even I enjoyed trying it out with them. It's relatively easy to set up on devices that have the Google Play Store. However, on Amazon Tablets it was tricky to set up. Besides that it is fun and easy to use.

    I bought this for my son who has wanted a Sphero for a while now. My kids tend to love a toy for a few weeks and then forget about it. I didn't want to spend a ton for the full size but he still found this fun! He uses it to play with the cat and dog. The IOS app is easy to set up and has a variety of options. Definitely worth the money for the mini!
