I bought this blimp for my grandson’s birthday, and it was a big hit at his party! It was so easy to use. All his friends had a lot of fun with it, we should have had more than one.

This product was fun for the first 2 weeks.. The helium stayed it in for about 2 weeks. i would recommend using tape to enforce the gondola. I got mine filled up at a party store for about 3 dollars. The gondola fell off several times so i recommend holding onto the balloon when you fill it up unless you want it to fly away.

We bought this for our 10 year old son. It arrived with missing parts. The controller was defective and was smoking with the first use. Now we are out the cost of this product because you can’t return it to amazon…it has to go through the manufacturer. I’m waiting for a reply from them. My son was very disappointed, as were we.

It comes with no instructions. The blimp was destroyed instantly when we tried to reposition the gondola – it is taped directly to the ballon and does not come off easily. (velcro would have been a better idea for the makers). Pulling the gondola, even very gently, caused a giant tear in the blimp. We then attached it to the UFO. It goes back and forth but not enough power for down – so the UFO is sitting 15 feet up on our ceiling. It scrapes along the ceiling back and forth but it won’t come down. Maybe we filled it too full but, with no instructions, who knew. Real dissapointing – save your money

I think that the blimp was flawed from the beginning. I purchased it as a gift for my little brother. I had both blimps filled with helium and because we have vaulted ceilings both balloons got stuck up in the crevices of our ceiling without any way to get it down. The propellors that move the balloons have no means of lowering them. As the helium wears off and the blimp can float at a lower height, it could be fun… but until then, we have a blimp and UFO stuck up in our rafters… my brother was underwhelmed… so was I.
