Toy didn’t work
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Although this toy has great reviews I seem to have got a faulty one. Firstly it didn’t dive then after 30 minutes in the pool it stopped responding to the RC (replaced batteries) and would only go in circles on the surface. Looks like a quality toy but it is not.

Good value for money
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this for my 7-year old nephew and he loves it! It’s a huge hit at the pool since none of the other kids have such a toy. He was able to easily figure out the remote, but often times he plays with it without using the remote. For such a delicate toy, it is holding up pretty well in its first summer of use. One of the propellers doesn’t always work, but it doesn’t affect it that much. His parents follow the directions to take out the batteries to dry after each use, so hopefully it can last at least another summer. If not, it was still under $50 and he still got a lot of use out of it!

Don’t waste your money

It looks great in the box; but, when you get it wet all the fun stops there. My sub worked for about thirty seconds. Now it only works when it wants to..short somewhere? A nice $40 paper weight. What a rip off.

Worked One Day
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Nice idea, just doesn’t last even when played with by careful adult hands. This was a replacement sub for one that died in the tub. Same issues, sub will only work if placed right next to the remote. When first taken out of the box the range is really good. After using it for say an hour, the range drops to nothing and the sub becomes virtually useless. It is highly probable that water gets into the electronics shorting them out. The only problem is that I can’t find any water intrusion. Its a shame because otherwise it seems to be a decent toy. But if its not going to work except for one day, its not really worth it. My advice is to wait for the next revision to see if that works better.

I have this item it works very good. When the batteries went dead i could not find them in any stores and I could not use this item. Good item over all.
