• What entertainment the toy brings to the child: This Hovercraft is a one of a kind as it will drive on both land and sea, giving the child the freedom to enjoy this toy anywhere they might go. The speeds of 15km/h is reached with two powerful motors powering two big fans that sits at the back of the hovercraft and the remote control distance of up to 20m gives the child more distance to enjoy what this hovercraft has to offer.
• How long the toy will last: From my point of view this hovercraft can break the very first day you buy it, why? Because the tube that sits under the hovercraft which is filled with air is very thin, and this makes it vulnerable to sharp objects like broken glass. If the hovercraft is taken very good care of I would say it would be about 7-8 months before either the battery pack supplied gives in or the two motors that powers the hovercraft.
• What the total cost will be to keep the toy operative: There will be no additional cost to keep the hovercraft operative, because a 9.6 volt battery and charger is included already.
• The age group for this toy: this hovercraft is suitable from the ages 5 years and up

My personal opinion: Yes this hovercraft is very fragile, but there is none like it that gives the same experience and if taken care of it could produce months of fun. Note that this hovercraft as I have experienced is very difficult to steer if you are not used to it and takes some time to get used to.
