This is an amazingly good Lego set. The App and different things it can do with sensors has kept my daughter very engaged. The price is high, but it's a great value in terms of getting your children to think about what they want the robot to do and using the app to program it's commands.

Purchased as a Christmas present for my 8 year old grandson.
Last year we had fun building the Nintendo LABO kits.
This should take it up a notch and I can teach him programming/coding.
First shipment had a damaged box (unsuitable for a gift), but great customer service sent a replacement with no issues and easy to ship back original
Can’t comment on how it is until after Christmas

I bought this for my 9 yr old since she’s into robotics and building. It’s a great way to get kids to focus, pay attention to what they’re doing and follow Instruction. I would highly recommend. I even helped with the build and found it relaxing.

My 10 Year Old Kid LOVED THIS

My kid loved this set so much he wanted to make a YouTube review on it. So we did. You can see it here.

This set can be used to do a few different builds. Four or five if I remember correctly. There's also programming to be done, etc. If you're looking for the BEST bang for your buck LEGO set, this is it.
Typically my kid can build a complex LEGO set in a couple days. But this one he built, then tore down, then reubuilt, then tore down, then rebuilt (you get the idea). And it wasn't just LEGO building, it was programming and remote control and all that as well. So cool. He got weeks of building out of this set, instead of the typical day or two.
Takes a little getting used to because all the directions are digital instead of on paper like usual.

Boost is overall good, and probably the best currently in the market. It could have been bettered by : Having a rechargeable battery - I mean, getting a kid to open the screw and then recharge it or replace the battery is a chore, todays world it should be simple plug in the night and use it in the day.

My five year old grandson tackled this project on his own, with very little parental guidance. The directions were easy for him to follow, as are all LEGO kits. He loves it!

Our son loves legos and will build for hours. This is a another great lego set and he was thrilled to get his first robot. He had built and was programming the robot using the iPad app a few hours after opening the package.

My 9 year old received this from us. He loves it and likes the basic coding he has learned from the app. You can make the Boost into several things. So far we have done just the robot. It's very cute.
