I’ve tried BB-9E on carpet. He doesn’t go as fast and has a tendency to get stuck sometimes, requiring human help. He really tries to go though. Flings his head back like he’s putting every effort into it. It’s funny to watch. It’s relatable because that is how I look trying to do Algebra! And irritated bleeps would be needed there too. :)
Like other reviewers, I wish that sounds would come directly from the droid itself rather than the app, but I’m still impressed with this product. Regarding the app, I had no trouble at all with the download or use. I am using a newer phone, iPhone X. I can’t say how this setup would work on older phones / older operating systems. My advice would be to check compatibility before buying any droid, especially if this is intended for a gift.
The inductive charging base is a nice feature in design and function. It has a reset button on one side. I didn’t notice that until I watched a video about the product.
Overall, I’m satisfied with my BB-9E. It’s a fun device and conversation piece.

Overall, I’m satisfied with my BB-9E. It’s a fun device and conversation piece.
One thing that some what baffles me though, is why they chose to make the body smaller than the standard Sphero. Near as I can tell it seems like a some what arbitrary choice. It would be nice if I could use all the available Sphero accessories with my BB-9E while I defend the First Order.
And, just so we're clear, I meant to give it 5 stars. I know I've got some criticism here, but this is a truly great little bluetooth RC toy. I look forward to playing with it after work like a pet, and I don't have to take it for walks, feed it, or clean up after it!
this droid, the BB-8, and R2D2 models from Sphero are high quality, filled with amazing tech., sturdy and the apps offer ALOT of features. I have played with mine constantly since purchase. This unit and a R2D2 unit were purchased for my 2 youngest sons for their upcoming birthday. I can't wait for them to open them. I also purchased 2 Kindle Fire's for them specifically for use with their droid. there are so many options, such as "watch with me," AR training and other activities within the app that promotes not only entertainment but learning as well. Now I want the black R2 unit to complete the set.

Everyone in our home is now learning about coding and programming and so many other side topics. Great for conversation, and pure fun to figure out and enjoy! He speaks, and has a whole range of other functions. Can hardly wait to decide on a second or third, and see how it works out!
