Mixed Feelings About Zoomer Playful Pup

I have very mixed feelings about the Zoomer Playful Pup, my 10, 7 and 2-year-old all absolutely love their Zoomer and they still spend a few hours a night playing with it. Zoomer is almost like a real dog minus the need for bathing, eating and using the restroom. He barks to your commands, he plays with you, lets you rub his belly and cuddle him, he does lots of tricks including rolling over, playing dead and shaking a paw. My kiddo's favorite command is when you say his name and then say "Look, there's a cat", Zoomer then goes bouncing around the living room and barking at the cat. Yes, I said bouncing, it is pretty cute I will say. He was very easy to program and set up, the instructions manual comes in different languages and explains step by step what you have to do, that was a plus for my kids because they were quickly able to figure it out and start playing with Zoomer. In my book all of these things make for a great toy, especially if they all love it and don't get tired of it, in this day and age it is hard to find a toy that keeps kids interested and Zoomer has done just that. My mixed feelings come from Zoomer not functioning properly after a week or two and the charge only lasting a little more than an hour before they have to recharge it. I will say that when you open the box it does have a card that tells you the back legs may stop working appropriately and tells you how to fix it, but even after doing the fix it goes back to not working correct after a few hours. As you can see in my video it isn't just the legs that stop working correct either, when you tap the back button, after he barks you are supposed to be able to say his name then give him a command, at first, he was doing this great, after about a week however he kept getting the commands wrong. Also, the charge only lasts a few hours. We charged him completely before playing with him, when plugging in the eyes start blinking green and you know he is charged all the way when the eyes stop blinking, the charge lasted an hour and 27 minutes after we took him off the charger. It seems like a toy for this price, the charge should last a bit longer. The actual charging process though isn't too long so my kiddos were able to play with it again by after dinner so they were happy. My overall opinion as an adult buyer of Zoomer is that for this price, it should have less function issues and stay charged longer. I would not recommend Zoomer at this price unless these issues were fixed. If it were up to my kiddo's though they still say they are telling all of their friends about it because "Zoomer is AWESOME!" and they do not seem to care about the "issues" Zoomer is having. So really it depends on how you look at it on whether or not you should buy it, do you want to get your monies worth, which most parents do, or do you not care if your child is happy with it. I did get Zoomer Playful Pup for free in exchange for my opinion but all of my opinions are my own and not influenced by this.

Our new puppy!

We received out playful pup on my daughters birthday last week. Fist thing we did was turn him on and he started playing right away I liked the fact that you didn’t have to do a bunch of set up to be able to play with it as soon as it was opens. We then named him “puppy” that was a simple process. My daughter played with him for a n hour or so before the battery died and we had to plug him in. I was surprised that she was able to play with him right away I had figured we would need to charge it before playing. The one down fall we have found is that it dosent pick up on our voices really well but it will pick up on my husbands so I’m assuming that my daughter and my voices are too soft to pick up and since it’s a kids toy not a dads toy that kinda sucks. Her favorite part so far is that is “pees” on the floor she laughed so hard at that. Even baby sister is getting in on playing with him, and we love giving him snuggles. Over all I think this is a really neat toy, I feel like it is a bit over priced for what it is but it is competitively price with other toys similar to it. We love o puppy!

Great for kids that can’t have pets!

My children and I received this Zoomer interactive robot playful pup for free to try out and give our honest opinions. So far my kids all love it! They are between 1 and 10 years old and all seem to be entertained by him! Although my two older children haven’t gotten to use it as much as their little sister who has claimed goggy as her own...He follows some simple commands such as dancing (with music), shaking, rolling over, and my boys favorite: lifting his leg to go pee! He is very playful and energetic but can also be really loving and cuddly. I do wish that he walked more than he does and that he wasn’t so fragile. My kids don’t seem to mind but I’m sure they would be able to enjoy him a bit more if he were more indestructible. Also, he is rechargeable which is fantastic since his battery life doesn’t seem to be too long...which is actually a blessing because I’m able to pry him from my daughters grips a lot easier if he needs to “sleep” lol Overall, I think this is a great toy for kids 5+ as long as you don’t let the toddlers and babies know he exists! They seem to love him even more and can actually break him pretty easily if left unattended. Would make a perfect gift for kids like mine that cannot have pets where they live! I might have to buy my middle child his own eventually if his sister doesn’t share!

Zoomer Dog

I will disclose that i received this toy for free before i share about my experience with Zoomer. I received this zoomer pup thru family rated.

I was imptessed with the delivery and packaging. The box itself is eye catching. If my child saw this in a store they'd have gone crazy happy.

My child enjoyed playing with it the quality the pronunciation of things Purrfect it does exactly what the box says that taught my kids 25 new tricks and it really does love to have its belly rubbed when it's on its back.

She is taking us to school next week for show and tell. She's super excited and I appreciate being chosen by Family rated for this product I recommend it to anyone children 2 and older

Great for those who can't have a real puppy!

I received the Zoomer Playful Pup free to review from Family Rated for my honest opinion. Words cannot described how excited my kids were when they received this. We recently moved to our new apartment a year ago in which our new apartment does not allow us to have pets. We use to have a 2yr old all white Labrador/Chihuahua mix. We had to give it away because of the no pet policy. So this Zoomer pup kind of looks like a Labrador/Chihuahua.
When my kids received the Zoomer Play pup, it acts and responds just like a real puppy, they were beyond thrill. This is like us adopting a whole new puppy into our family. So we named it "Chibi" after our previous dog that we gave away. My daughter truly misses her old dog so this has brought a lot of comfort for her. She sleeps with Zoomer Playful pup every night like it's her real puppy. You can hear my kids giggle when Zoomer Playful pup is laying on his back kicking it's leg while you give it a belly rub. The playful pup can do many tricks but sometimes we have a little problem with the voice command, for example we will tell it to "Roll Over" it will do some other tricks "Let's Dance" or "Lie Down" instead. However, it is hilarious when Zoomer Playful pup can go potty.
The only negative is we wish the playtime can be longer. It seems after 1 hour charge, playtime only lasts about 15-20min.
Aside from that I would say this is the best Robotic dog ever, I highly recommend this to everyone! If I ever win the Lotto I would buy tons of these and donate to the Children's Hospital for kids that have special health problem or allergies that they can't have real puppies. This will seriously make their dreams come true!
Thank you for such a great invention as we are truly grateful and thankful for Family rated to have given us this opportunity to review this product.

Also Kuddos to the graphic and artist designers who design the packaging. The picture designs on the box is wonderful and very descriptive of the many tricks the puppy can do. I've added pics of the box for you guys to see.

love it

i love all the features the dog has, all the tricks it can do everything it was perfect for my daughter she loves it. she love show it acts like a real dog

Amazing Interactive Playful Pup

The Playful Pup by Zoomer is amazing! It includes Playful Pup , usb charging cable, a quick start guide, and instruction booklet. It operates in english, french, and spanish. Your child gets to name it. The pups eyes flash colors. Green means it is happy. Blue it is ready for a voice command. Orange is commands. Purple it wants to cuddle. Yellow it needs charging. By pushing the back button its eyes will turn blue then turn orange and say a command. This pup will shake, roll over, and many other things. It will even say I love you when cuddling. My kids love this pup. I received this free to review.

Fun time with the kids

What kid doesn't love a robotic toy? Well this one is great, it follows commands, sits, stands, plays music and keeps the little ones entertained for hours. Okay well not hours but long enough to put a load into the dishwasher. It comes already charged and ready for commands. It has a handy guide which takes some getting used to. It also is pretty active. We've been enjoying playing with it.

I Would Definitely Buy Again!

I received the Zoomer Playful Pup for free in exchange for an honest review. When we first opened it, my son was on cloud 9 just to have it! He was delighted. The more we played with it, the happier he was! We named him Rocket, and my son absolutely loved the voice recognition. He was soon teaching him tricks and just giggling away. It's very well made, and the quality is top notch. My 6 year old had a blast, but so did my 12 year old, so it really doesn't have an age limit on fun! Overall we were very very impressed!

Zoomer Playful Pup is adorable

This little pup is so cute and adorable and listens to your voice for commands. It walks to you and rolls over, sits and lays down. If you say want a treat it will act like it is chomping on a treat. I love the way his eyes light up to show you what kind of mood he is in. He is the perfect little companion for any little girl or boy. You can also set him to listen to commands in three different languages so he is perfect for any little girl or boy. He is definitely playful and on the move. He likes to be petted on the back of the head and even likes his belly rubbed to keep him in a good mood.
