As parents who've tested dozens of kids' gadgets, we were intrigued by the IRDRONE UFO drone. Don't let the name fool you—it's a compact 12cm-diameter flying saucer toy that hovers almost magically, powered by four tiny propellers.
UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object, capturing that sense of wonder. With drones trending in toys, we put this lightweight saucer through its paces to see if it lives up to the hype.
Available for under €29.90 at Auchan—great value for family fun.
Launch it, and it flies autonomously, using sensors to detect walls or obstacles and adjust course seamlessly. Steer by placing your hand underneath one side—its small size and featherlight 25g build make the response feel effortless and surprising.
The brand promotes multiplayer play, passing it between users by nudging its path. It reliably senses hands and veers away, though pinpoint control takes practice.
Bright LEDs let you fly it in dim rooms, adding to the excitement.
Demo video coming soon—stay tuned for footage from our home tests.
