I bought a Drone on TEMU | Unboxing and Review | Is it worth the MONEY!

I bought a drone on TEMU for $25.00. If you haven't heard about TEMU yet, supposedly it is the fastest online shopping site on the internet. That said, they have a lot of products for really really cheap. What they are not is AMAZON. A majority of these products are made in China, then drop shipped to a warehouse in California or New Jersey, then shipped to use via USPS. Well I wanted to try it out, so I bought a drone for $25.
It came in about 12 days, and was packaged well. The instructions were what I expected. After a couple of quick steps I was able to get it flying with the included controller. It drifted a little, but with practice and a little more reading I was able to tune it.
I downloaded the phone app to see if I could control it that way, I was never able to get the app to control the drone, other than turning the cameras on and off, and recording.
Well after losing the drone once, I flew it for about an hour off an on. After a short time one of the propellers stopped working and after a inspection I could see that it melted. Done, after less than an hour.
Disappointing. This is definitely a toy and nothing more. But had I given this to a child to play with, they would have been very upset for sure. It's headed back to China for a promised, full refund. Maybe I'll try another with my refund. 2 out of 5 stars.

At least you didn't spend a lot of cash on flight training. I know a guy who had zero flight time, and totally destroyed a $1800 Mavic 3 Cine, in under ten minutes. I've been commercially flying multi-rotors since 2012, I was given a Temu E88 to test. Amazing value for money If you can fly, a five minute disaster If you can't.

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

Yikes!!

[@redbond9259]

thx for taking the hit for us.

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

Yeah. It's headed back alteady.

[@billysmith4053]

Thanks for the info .I'll use mine until it blows up

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

I honestly hope it doesn't!

[@michaelhartzell9758]

If you give them a negative review on it, Most of the time they will credit your account!! I've bought things from them, including a security camera for inside my home for our pups. The first one didn't work ( my fault, not theirs, wrong wifi band speed) so when I let them know ( they want to know in fact ) I was credited my account. You will have a credit, or goes back on your visa card ( takes up to 3 days ). I got credit and bought a different on that works great. You definitely have to read fine print and look at the PDF files on how the item works. Your hour of fun was just a test, to see IF you really want it.😅

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

I got a full refund!

Thank you to you as well!

[@LlamaxFur]

Hiya! I had a rough experience as well. I have a couple quick questions because I got the Drone 12 just to try it out but mine did not come with instructions! How do you connect to the app and what app is it? Also when you trimmed the blades, what did you do to counter a drift? Very new to this and thanks for the video!

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

There was a QR code in the package to download an app. That had step by steps in it. I didn't trim mine at all.

[@yuprulesing]

My x6 drone camera is not working, in the app I get "no connection" when I try making a photo or video. Has anybody solved this specific problem?

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

I never was able to get the phone app to connect or control.

[@waylondyer5654]

Got the next version up from that one from temu coming in the mail soon can't wait for my hour of fun lol well gotta charge and get batteries then flight time got mine for 13.75 so hope to get that worth of fun from it kinda just want it to be nosey or look at things like at Yosemite closer not creepy lol😂

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

You'll have to tell me how it works!

[@TheNewblade1]

Why three triple A instead of two double A

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

No idea, seemed odd to me as well.

[@MrGlasstech]

If thats the e99 drone i only paid 2.99 for it on temu with app download.

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

Still flying?

[@dronedays450]

I have expensive DJI drone but bought a couple of toy ones of Temu and haven’t had a problem so I suppose it’s the luck of the draw lol

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

I would agree with that. Also the skill of the pilot, which I have none. 😂

[@natej6671]

LOL ...Didn't this come with a 1 year warranty? ..... Thanks for the video.

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

I am sure I could have gotten a replacement. I settled for a refund. 😁

[@Snipe_BLOX]

is temu fake? it offered me a e88 pro drobe 1080p that was $72.99 now $3.20, too good to be true? it told me to spin a wheel and i didn't get anything first time, second time i spinned and it gave me the best offer, impossible, 95% off, im worried they wont ship anything

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

Temu is legit. It's a direct from manufacture ship. Everything ordered comes from China to an east or west coast distribution center, where it is then sent to you. Takes a little longer than Amazon, and the quality is what you pay for.

[@Snipe_BLOX]

hey tysm for the advice@@DadItYourselfDIY

[@CM3-wk7ti]

Contact Temu and they will most likely issue a refund.

They did!

@DadItYourselfDIY Ah, well, you live, and you learn! Thanks 👍 I have subbed and will look to your channel for good future advice. Had I but done it sooner. Best regards...

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

No telling. Maybe I got a dud.

[@mazerrackham5959]

How did you connect the drone and controller?

[@DadItYourselfDIY]

You turn everything on then move the joysticks up and down, if I remember correctly.

[@mazerrackham5959]

@@DadItYourselfDIYtru I’ll give it another shot in the morning. I was able to control it with my phone but not the remote.

I was the other way around. Never got the phone to work.

Never said that. But how going back and redecorating the video isn't an option, and it's obvious the sound issue is isolated. So, how is a comment about it helpful?
