My kids received this as a Christmas present. It didn't work straight out of the box. My husband tested the electronics, too technical for me, but basically the fan wouldn't turn on because something electrical was screwed up. I shipped it back to Hasbro (we're APO, I can't return it to a store) and after reading all the other reviews I hope they send me a new toy instead of replacing this one.At least Hasbro seems to be good about replacing their items that are defective. I've had to return items before because they were broken out of the box and it's always been a hassle free experience.
