The item is great, but has a couple drawbacks. Firstly, wow. The detail is incredible! I love how it actually makes sounds. I have the BB8 model and it's the one thing I wish it did (make sounds). The App that goes with the item was recently revised and works incredibly now! The hoses on R2's "Feet" are incredibly realistic! They feel like very real hoses! The R2 unit lights up in both front and back. Not all of it, but the places it lights up on the movies. Which is still really cool! It interacts with the other units (bb8, bb9, and I can't remember the rest) You'll truly love how amusing it is! You can even draw a design and it'll drive around the path you draw (on your phone or tablet). With that being said, it does require some type of smart device. You can google that, but most bluetooth devices should work at this point. My I love it, my daughter loves it and mostly the cats love it! I can't wait to buy the rest! Now, for the two drawbacks I found. One, you can't do much anything when it is charging. You can connect, but you can't get it to play or make any noises. Small drawback since it charges very fast and lasts a good while. I played with mine about 30 minutes today before I had friends come over. So, I don't know exactly how long the battery lasts. Don't expect hours though. it does a lot! It would be crazy if it lasted more than 45 minutes to a hour. (that number could be completely off). Lastly, the only other drawback I found was it was not normally fast. He does have an option to drive quickly, but it isn't permanent. Final, if asking i would absolutely recommend this to you. I'm an avid Star Wars fan. To show I'm real they just announced they will be putting baby yoda from the mandalorian on other websites for sale as disney merchandise. (I don't want to name them and this post be removed). Your whole family will love it!Read full review

Awesome star wars droid. R2-D2 is one of my favorite characters from the series. I love all the noises he can make and the different things he can do. He works fabulously on my hardwood floors. A lot of fun to play with.

This is the droid you are looking for, if you want a really awesome WiFi remote unit. To start the controls are easy to use and the R2D2 reacts very quickly. I mean like no lag time in controls at all. You can draw a route for R2D2 to follow. This astromech unit is better anything I have seen. Forget the BB8 unit this R2D2 is way better. The only draw back is that these droids are not being made anymore.
