lasted about 40 mins before the motor burned out. the on/off button is really badly design, could have easily fitted a sunken switch rather than the disc that is difficult to twist. works great on flooring, albeit noisy, the elastic just gets tangled up when the ball is moving. good idea, badly executed

Ok so i unboxed my zooplus parcel with anticipation… I can’t get the ball to open at all so it’s a dead duck … epic fail Trixie

If you don't have a huge room with hard floor, then this is useless. It barely moves on carpet. I tried to make it work by putting it in a sock/old tight/wrapping a rubber band around it to help it move, nothing worked. The motor is just not powerful enough on the carpet. And it's quite loud on the wooden floor. Both my cats were interested, even though one is a huge coward. I can tell that it can scare some cats. The toy is a great idea but the design is very poor.

Love the idea and once my cats aren't scared of the noise I'm sure it will be a great toy

Agree with everyone else, the toy doesn't work as advertised. It doesnt roll around to chase it just kind of jiggles on the spot. My cat would like it if it actually moved.

1 - been reading is noisy, well it does make a bit of a noise on the wooden floor , and on the carpet is a bit slower 2 -been reading is scare the cats , might do on some , ours ( 2 out of 3 ) was more curious whats this, and in the end ( like 30 min later ) was already near the toy , touch with their pay black cat called Elbrus,age 10,from the start played , ginger cat age 1 yr was a bit more curious 3 - been reading about batery difficult to put in , nope wasnt , just slide on a side the lid

It’s great, it’s just that the off switch doesn’t work! So every time I want to turn it off I have to unscrew the battery compartment…

The motor inside the ball is very very weak. The ball itself is sturdy but the issue lies with the motor.

Bought for my cats for Xmas and it just makes loads of noise and doesn't move about very disappointed

Poor instructions, was difficult to work out how to get in to the battery compartment, which way up, how to turn on etc - having got there it's really noisy and my cats are scared of it. It moves for a bit then starts just rocking on the spot for ages not even moving the mouse, then moves a bit then just rocks - does the same on the hard floor not just carpet. Will probably be getting rid of or may untie the mouse and keep that as the cats like that bit!

This is rubbish the ball doesn't move at all so a waste of money

Too noisy, scares my cats.

Excellent! This is now my cats favourite toy & he has dozens! Think it actually tired him out! Would highly recommend 👌

The noise is just ridiculous but my cat loved it shame it broke in 2 hours

My 2 kittens love mice so I thought they’d like this toy. I couldn’t be more wrong - it is so noisy and erratic that they are scared of it. They are not shrinking violets when it comes to playing either. The ball is quite heavy and when it lurches forward it makes them run away - not a good purchase at all.

My 10 and 8 month olds seemed a bit freaked out by it by it initially, but it got them to work together to investigate what the noisy intruder was all about it. But then they just watched it from a far.

I was looking forward to receiving this, but as yet, I cannot fathom out where or how to insert the battery. It is completely beyond me and I am not a stupid person. Very irritating,

This is such a waste of money. Got this for my cat and first of all the feather just tangles up so ends up trapped under the ball so the pet can’t get to it, and second it makes such a noise that whenever they get close to it it scares them off, and my cat normally isn’t bothered by noises like this, so don’t waste your money!

Read the reviews and bought this anyway as my cat is the cockiest, most confident cat I've ever met. He was super into this toy before I turned it on. On carpet it barely does anything, on hard floors it is SO. LOUD. He could only watch from afar and jump out of the way if it came towards him. Bonus though is it never got stuck under the sofa like I expected it would, always managed to get out again. Second bonus - now I've turned it off, cat is all over it. Confidence has resumed.

This is an easy to assemble toy. The instructions regarding the battery were not clear. It said A4 so we ordered this battery type especially. Turns out it actuallly takes AA batteries. The boys like it when the motor is off but it terrifyd them when turned on.
