Tipmant Mini RC Submarine Toy Remote Control Boat Underwater Electric Diving Water Fish Tank Kids Birthday Gift (Yellow)

UPDATE: The seller contacted me about this and apologized. I returned the bad one and re-ordered a new one. It was worth the wait. My grandson loves it. It runs fast and has an ingenious system to dive and surface it seems to work like a fish swim bladder. I found it easy to adjust to get neutral buoyancy, not he drives it around the pool and it is is favorite toy. Response is great even at 1 meter depth. "Captain, Dive the boat" he says then dives it, drives it around and then back up. Battery life is great - over 30 minutes of play, and it charges fast He even dropped the remote in the pool. I panicked but no need it survived the dunking. Great toy. Hopefully the bad i got first was an aberration, but this is great and I know it was not a special checked one as i ordered myself. My grandson loves it Dead on arrival, refused to take a charge until I let the charger stay in for 8 hours. I closed the connector lid, the green LED came one. I put fresh batteries in the remote controller. Pressed the buttons..... the green LED on the sub flashes but the sub just sits there. It does nothing. Waste of time and money.

Charges once and works once. Then it wont charge and wont run. Cool design but terribly made internally. I wish the thing worked more than once because my son loved it.

This was a gift for my Grandson. He loves it and plays with it in our pool a lot. I was surprise how well it works and how it would go all the way to the bottom of our 6foot deep pool, or my grandson will sit on the step and sail it around to the other end of out 28foot pool. Great range. Say all of that to say it's a great sub and we are very pleased. One note the remote is not water proof so we taught our grandson to be mindful and keep the remote out of the water. Also we found that when he would deep the sub to the bottom and let it sit. after about 10 seconds it would automatically rise to the surface using a programed auto surface. Pretty cool. Thank you!

This was fun at first, we got it to dive once, but then we couldn't get it to dive again. Tried the advice in the instructions (which are clearly not written by someone fluent in English), but still couldn't get it to dive. It does go forwards/backwards/turns great and pretty fast for such a small toy. After first swim though, we couldn't get it to charge properly. It wouldn't stay in contact with the charger. We had made sure the hatch was shut tight prior to putting in water too.

All my 4 year old wanted for Christmas was a remote control submarine, and this did not disappoint! The instructions say it can only be used in clean fresh water, so no chlorinated or salt water. He’s used it in the bathtub (with no salts or soaps/bubbles), the water table, the big kitchen sink, an even my parents’ fancy hot tub that has water treated with UV light instead of any chemicals or salt. That was surely the most fun! Instructions say it can only go as deep as 1.5 Feet. It went to the bottom of the hot tub (3 Feet maybe) and came back up ok. When you press the down button, it goes to the bottom of the body of water it’s in. When you press up, it goes all the way to the surface. There is no cruising around midway underwater, it’s either at the top or the bottom. FYI I would recommend putting the remote in a plastic bag if your kid is in the water. Mine dropped the remote in the tub, of course. We put it in rice overnight and it dried out and seems to work fine, although I see some rust near the base of the antenna. UPDATE: The USB cord melted (not quite sure if it was malfunction or user error) and it looks to have a nonstandard connector to the submarine. So I contacted the company to try to get a new one. Customer service was great and I was able to purchase a new cord for $5, free shipping from China that will take a few weeks, but that’s what I’ve come to expect when getting replacement parts on kids’ toys.

Followed instructions and tips from here, made sure rubber cap was off when charging and in place when closing the hatch. tilted down to get rid of bubbles in water. Ran it for at least 15 mins and still had juice left, though trying to drain all the way before recharge (not sure if i need to). this is fun, fun little toy for the tub, pool or static water. it dives well, turns well, and is quick for the tiny little propeller in the back.

Product doesn’t work only giving two stars on this one which is more than it deserves but I’m a nice person . It doesn’t sink nor hardly moves . Bought it as a gift for family member only to disappoint them .

Great fun (in my swimming pool) once you "get the hang of it". Works great, does all the remote functions well. The only problem is that you must use care when submerged, as if you exceed recommended depth, it cannot receive signal from remote. It is supposed to automatically surface when the batteries are running out, but I haven't tested that feature yet. WELL WORTH the price for fun (I'm an adult). Finally, I enjoy watching my dog chase it around the pool, and become confused when it submerges, only to have more fun when it surfaces a distance away and comes back towards her to play some more. Again, worth the money for fun value.

Good little toy, fun and easy to use.

I was able to use this toy remote control submarine once. It is heavy rather then neutrally buoyant or prone to float. It was unable to keep a straight corse when under power and when not under power promptly sank to the bottom of the water. At the bottom it filled with water and stopped working. It was cheep but only had about five minutes of fun with it before it broke. It was in a deep bath tub maybe three feet of water.

Non fonctionnel, très très décevant!!!

N'a pas fonctionné que quelques minutes...!!!??? À retourner pour remboursement

Terrible thing! Unable to charge it right the first time!
