Sharper Image Thunderbolt Jet X-2 Remote Control Stunt Drone

The Sharper Image® X-Treme Jet X-2 High-Performance toy was a big hit! It was surprisingly easy for my child to use right out of the box, and they picked up the controls quickly. It’s fast, sturdy, and provides tons of fun without being complicated. Great choice for young kids who love action toys!

These are great! The battery dies quickly, but they are easy to charge. They fly really well and controls are easy, kids have no problem with them.

Bought one. Stop working right away, beeps that it dead right off the charger. Won’t connect to each other. Thought kids wrecked it. So I bought another one. Same thing, but this didn’t last a day before it started happening.

I picked up the Sharper Image X-Treme Jet X-2 looking for a cool-looking drone that my kids (and I!) could easily fly without a huge learning curve. Visually, this thing is awesome—it’s designed like a sharp little jet instead of a boring box, and the LED lights make it look great when you fly it inside or as it gets dark outside. For a toy drone, it's pretty good. It handles well, and features like the auto-pilot assist really do help beginners get it airborne and stable quickly. Plus, the one-button barrel roll is a total blast and definitely keeps the kids entertained. It's also survived a few unexpected landings, so the lightweight, durable build holds up. The only reason it loses a star is typical for this kind of drone: 1. Battery Time is Brutal: You're lucky to get a full 5 to 10 minutes of flight time before you have to plug it back in for over an hour. It's a fun five minutes, but the downtime is a real momentum killer. 2. Fussy Connection: Every so often, the connection gets a little flaky. It might start drifting or not respond perfectly, and you have to stop, turn both devices off and on, and re-pair. It's a minor hassle, but it interrupts the flow of play. Verdict: If you want a fun, stylish, and easy-to-fly drone that makes a great gift, this is a solid choice. Just manage your expectations on how long you can actually fly it at one time

Ran 6 battery cycles. Easy to fly. In fact, I would go as far to say that it's a great trainer. It's pretty easy to fly. I posted the longest flight time out of 6 flights. It's probably more like an average of 4:30 per flight. Charges in 20 minutes. Is it worth $20? I would say yes. If you want a toy to play with indoor.. or if you are a newbie looking to test the waters of basic drone flight.. Then yes, it's worth $20. I would give this a much better rating if it had an 8-10 minute flight time. Indoor flight only.
