Luma - The Patented Glow-in-The-Dark Toy That Flies a Loop of String, Creates Endless Shapes and Tricks Built-in LED for Glowing Fun. Perfect STEM Gift for Kids & Adults. Wonderment Awaits

My child had the zip string on his wish list forever. The negative reviews had me worried I would be wasting my money. I shouldn't have worried. We went ahead and bought for their birthday and we've all enjoyed playing with it. It's novelty more than an actual toy. I'd say he plays with it for 10 or 15 minutes and then it gets put away for a bit. You could almost consider it like a fidget. The string does sometimes get tangled- especially the super long one but it usually only takes a moment to untangle. And we've found as long as you are using in an open space, it rarely tangles. The string takes a little pressure to get into place, so you might have to help younger users. Overall it's cute, fun, and we're happy we finally bought it.

Zip String is such a cool and unique toy! My kids absolutely love it, and it’s been a hit with their friends too. It’s super easy to use, even for younger kids, and it creates such a fun visual effect that keeps them entertained for a long time.We brought it in for show and tell at school, and it stole the spotlight! Everyone was fascinated, including the teachers! It’s great for all ages and doesn’t take long to get the hang of. I love that it encourages curiosity and play without screens.Highly recommend if you’re looking for something fun, different, and sure to impress!

This was really fun for about a week and then my 8-year-old got bored with it. I'm glad it came with a bunch of strings, but it would be nice if this came with a nice zip bag or something to keep everything in. Lots of small things that kids just spread all over the place.

This works great! So much fun!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:We saw this on shark tank and had to have one. It is pretty fun and easy to use. My husband did much better than I did with it because I just kept getting it tangled up. It’s a great gift. In my opinion too expensive but very cool!

my son loves these! we bought him his first one at Christmas time and he really enjoyed it. Replaced six months later because as a youngster he tends to drop things and it handled several falls on concrete and tile and is still in working condition but we decided to get a new and improved as a birthday gift so we have definitely bought again

So the shipping on this was the most ridiculous thing. I bought this at the end of November, said it would be here by Christmas and surprise surprise was NOT. They didn’t even ship the dang thing until maybe a week before Christmas so I can’t even blame the postal service. It comes from the USA too. As far as function its kinda annoying. The string comes off very easily, it does come with several strings and is fun when it does work. I personally do not think it’s worth the price, I bought two and am returning one.

My son saw an ad for these online, and he begged to get it. So we chose to get him one for Christmas, and he's had a lot of fun. As some reviewers have said, the string does sometimes get tangled. But that's usually because the zip string isn't being played with properly. You definitely need to read the instructions to decrease the chances of tangles. Both my sons love the glow-in-the-dark string. It really does glow and looks like the rope is just magically floating when the lights are out. It works as an indoor, too, which is nice when you can't play outside. It was a little more than I would've liked to have paid for a toy like this, but because it was a Christmas present we were willing to pay a little more.
