What to know before buying

The stated 29.5-inch diameter and size 7 designation are presented by the listing as official size, but the listed weight of 1.7 pounds is not otherwise reconciled with that claim. Spare batteries and up to 30 hours per set are listing claims. Customer feedback includes reports of lighting stopping after a couple of months and durability problems after several months, so long-term reliability is uncertain.
