Comments about Lillian Vernon Radio Control Submarine:

We ordered this product for our children to play with in our pool. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for long. It broke within a week. It looks great. The price was right for such a cool toy, but it doesn't last.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Radio Control Submarine:

Gift from Grandma
Arrived with no directions or documentation
Wrist control has only two controls, forward and back. Forward appeared to work on dry land, backward operated one of two props. When placed in water nose slowly sank to about 30 degree inclination and props were non-functional even with the wrist control 6" from sub.

Don't waste your $$

By GoldenSurfer from Dallas, TX on 6/4/2007

Cons:

Delicate, Internal leaks, Weak signal

Describe Yourself:

Practical

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Radio Control Submarine:

Bought the sub for my Son to in the pool. I tested it out when it arrived, and the sub moved about a foot each 30 seconds, and was barely below the surface when it loses signal. Lasted about 3 hours before it just stopped working. I eventually opened it up to find the circuit housing leaked and the trapped clorine-water caused the components to corrode very quickly.

Total junk.
