I see Zoomer is rated one of the best presents this year. Reviews are all over the place, should I get this for my 6yo GD?

Yes BUT --- know the battery MUST BE FULLY CHARGED FIRST --- best done with switch OFF. Clearly many have had problems coz of turning it on FIRST --- these batteries aren't meant to be fully discharged (can ruin them, actually). That said ... Out of 2 I own, one Has A Charging Problem with it... And calling customer service is really a bad idea at the moment. There Is GOOD REASON why this toy is selling out all over the place --- it IS a fantastic item, but it ALSO is Electronics, meaning it is Not Perfect, and IS prone to mechanical/electrical failure as are ALL SUCH SOPHISTICATED Devices ! Personally, I LOVE Robots, and have bought all 3 Models (Dalmation Black Spotted White, Female Dalmation Pink Spotted White, & Purple Body Male). I had to buy them all Online --- still waiting for the Purple one. So, I may be prejudiced, a bit. I'm a retired NASA Rocket Scientist almost 70 years old, too... Love good toys and this IS a Great One, just, sadly, mebbe a bit ahead of its time, in that THESE should be Proto-Types of more Evolved Versions, to follow ! We need a USER's Group !

I know Zoomer is recommended for ages 5 and up, but up to what age? Would a 9 year old enjoy this toy?

I am 30 and I have fun with it. All of my kids enjoy it ages 2,5,8, and 10. Obviously the younger ones need supervision since it is not meant to be tossed arround.
