Great little drone for fun and practice.
This mini drone from Holy Stone is very responsive and full of features. It is perfect, for kids, beginners, and anyone who just wants to have fun. I highly recommend it! It is also useful for practicing your flying skills, both indoors and outdoors. It does not take a relatively long time to charge (roughly 30 minutes) via USB or from the transmitter and gives you 5-8 minutes of flying time. It has several colored LEDs on the drone body and a bright white LED in the front, which look cool and also provide a method of tracking the drone and its orientation. It has three speeds from which to choose.All of the features worked great from the start. The One Key Take-off and Landing functions performed well. The Altitude Hold function worked pretty good, but the performance was improved even more by using the Trimmers buttons (as described in the user manual). The High Speed Rotation and Flip Mode are fun to try and watch. The One Key Return worked as described in the manual, but you do need to be aware of the drones’ position relative to you and the transmitter. Headless Mode allows you to control the drone relative to the transmitter so you do not have to be concerned about keeping the head of the drone facing away from you. I actually was surprised at the quality of the instruction manual and would recommend taking 5-10 minutes going through it before flying the drone. It will save you time and make the whole experience even more enjoyable (especially if you are a beginner or novice).The HS190 has been resilient and sturdy so far. We have run into several items and crashed at least a few times with no ill effects (the propeller guards were attached). Since the drone arms do fold, make sure you check and put them back in place after a crash.As for drawbacks of this drone, it’s difficult to find any considering the functions and the price. It does take a little time to become acquainted with all the little buttons on the transmitter/controller. It would be nice if they were labeled, but that probably would not be practical for a drone of this size and price point. The manual says to be careful of over-charging the battery and recommends unplugging the charging cable once the battery is fully charged (LED on cable turns off when completed). We did not notice this in the manual at first and charged it for a much greater time. Fortunately, there were no problems afterward, but it is something to keep in mind.Overall, this has been a fantastic little drone thus far. I have not required any support from Holy Stone for this HS190, but response to inquiries and questions about their other products has been exceptional. Their customer support is top notch and you will see that throughout other reviews as well.

Could be a perfect little drone toy, but it’s fragile
Right off the bat, I loved this drone, fast and easy to fly. Seemed robust. Love the onboard docking and charging capability. I would love the adjustments on the remote, but that’s a lot of buttons on the face with a very small print so you have to work with that. They work great, though. I saw the price dropped to $25 and had to have it. Started off perfect. And, if it was still working properly, I would say it was a super value.. 5 stars given the discounted price.We have had it a few weeks and one motor has stopped spinning on a regular basis. Within the first week we managed to break the propeller guards during install, uninstall, to where they wouldn’t work. Which is a bummer because then we managed to bend all the propellers. That might not be the drones fault, we are new comers and flying inside. But we have other toy drones that have taken harder hits and propellers have lasted much longer. I have reached out to Customer Service to see about purchasing replacement propellers, and they have been very easy to communicate with.Update: Holy Stone offered to comp me a new toy for the motor stopped working issue. I agreed and have added a 4th star for that. If it lasts longer I’ll call it a great product for the cost.

Fun little drone. Easy to fly. Hard to find any extra batteries for it in Canada though

Good little drone for first time user. Compact, & value for money. May need parental help to set up initially for younger users.

This was an Xmas present for my daughters boyfriend.He loved it, had it flying around inside straight away. Works well. Fairly easy to fly. Looks super cute with little LED lights.
