I bought this as a birthday gift for my nephew.  I checked it out with AAA batteries and it works great.  I think he'll love it. It comes in a plain cardboard box so I can wrap it.

Terrific.  I recommend you get it operating before you give it.  They will be so anxious to see what he does.  Really fun

I bought a camcorder that worked with AAA batteries and then discovered it would also work with a lithium-ion battery and that Amazon had it available for a very low price.  I ordered the battery and received it in a few days.  I have been using it for several months now and find it reliable.  Fortunately, I have a battery charger for another device and came with a battery charger that works with this battery.

It Works very well.  What I like best is that it is dual voltaje working anywhere in the world.  And it is practical for both AA and AAA batteries.

I haven't used it yet cause it needs about 5 batteries. AAA and AA.  I don't want to spend that much money.

Nice flashlight, especially since it operates on on AAA battery.

This is a Christmas present for a grandchild.  I think he will love it.

Just got it today and it seems to work great. 2 AAA batteries in the little receiver and it velcros onto the lid of mailbox.  The bigger receiver stays in the house and plugs in.  Tested it several times and works good at least on day 1!  When the mailbox door opens, the inside receiver beeps and a light stays on until you hit the button on it to reset.  very simple!!  I will update if it starts to fail at any time.

I bought one for my niece after she became attached to one of my more expensive, "adult," versions that cost a bit more.

She LOVES it; she's two, almost three years old, but knows how to and understands the idea of the switches and different settings. Unfortunately she'll probably learn how to open the battery compartment too, but that's her mom's concern. It's good too, in that it comes batteries included. It works great as a regular flashlight if needed, also, but its colors and design are geared more towards kids.

As far as the red light supposedly reflecting off the animal's eyes, I hope she doesn't get that close to our wildlife since she lives in the city and city "wildlife" aren't the safest or friendliest.

I would've given it five stars all across the board, but we haven't had it long enough to test it's durability.

I use this just as a toy for my cat - he loves it and the fact that's it AAA batteries instead of those disc batteries is really convenient.

This is great and reliable I wasn't sure of the brightness due to it running on 3 AAA batteries but man was I surprised! Awesome

A little too soon to say, but once I figure out how to use it I think it will be wonderful

Cree LED light + AAA's = great form and function! Not sure of the overall water resistance/proofness of the battery pack in the back, but we'll see how it goes in the future. Definitely wouldn't dunk it under water.

It's pretty good. I wish it came with batteries though.

My 3 year old loves this toy. Not sure how long it'll last but it's fun none the less. The product description lists that there are 3 AAA batteries included. Please note that this car uses 5 AA batteries and none were included. Was a bit upset since I ordered rechargeable AAA batteries to go with it.

purchased for my husband who is a technician and always in need of batteries. He installed it cleverly on his tool box and it seems to be working great for him. Seems to draw attention with the other techs :)
