My kid came running in with that gleam in their eye that says 'I've found the next big thing.' Sure enough, they're holding up a phone showing the Hover Soccer Ball with LED Lights. I sigh, open a new tab, and prepare to explain why we have that at home.

See it, Dad? →
Kid
Dad, dad, look! It’s a soccer ball that floats and has lights! Can we get it? PLEASE?
Dad
Let me guess—you saw an ad and now it's the most important thing in the world. Yeah, I know the type.
Kid
But it's SO cool! It hovers! And the lights! Everyone has one!
Dad
Everyone has one, huh? Well, apparently everyone gave it 3.6 stars. I think we'll stick with the ball we already have.

What Is It?

It's a floating soccer ball that glides on a cushion of air, with LED lights for that extra 'look at me' factor. Basically a low-tech hovercraft you kick around the living room until someone yells at you to stop.

What Does the Internet Think?

With a 3.6-star average across 1,800 reviews, the crowd is decidedly lukewarm. Many say it's fun for about ten minutes before the batteries die or it gets stuck under the couch. Others complain about the noise. Not exactly a glowing endorsement. ★★★½☆ across 1,800 reviews.

🚫 No.
★★★½☆ 3.6 stars  ·  1,800 reviews

The internet has spoken. 3.6 stars. That's a no from me. I'm not saying it's a terrible product—I'm saying it's a 'we have that at home' product. You'll get more enjoyment from a regular ball and a flashlight, trust me.

Light-Up Foam Soccer Ball
Because a regular ball that lights up costs less and doesn't need batteries for hovering.
