Do cats get a chance to ‘catch’ the laser?
The laser occasionally stops during the play mode for a few seconds. This allows your pet to ‘catch’ the laser before it starts moving again.
How can I control DART?
DART has four different speed settings and four different timer settings. When the DART is first turned on, it is on the first speed and the 5 minute timer. To adjust the timer from 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes, simply push the ‘Timer’ button. To increase the speed interval, push the ‘Speeds’ button.
How is the toy powered?
All of our laser toys use low-level lasers. BOLT operates with 4 AA batteries. DART, DART DUO™, and POUNCE toys operate with 3 AA batteries.
How long does DART run in Automatic Mode?
The length of the DART play mode can be adjusted using the timer. The DART timer can be set to turn off after 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes.

[chuckles] Though she's still a bit lazy about it. She'll chase the light for a time and then she just plops down to wait for it to come to her. She's too smart for her own good. But at least she's getting Some exercise out of it. The reason for only four stars though is because it can be a bit chuggy in its movements. Even with new batteries, the motor that moves the head around is a bit rough. I expect it won't last as long with constant use. Other than that, it's an okay product for when we're too worn out to play with her ourselves. Miss Pigglet Still refuses to be lured into exercise though. *le sigh* Stubborn old girl. Then again, i guess she just takes after her humon momma. lol

My two indoor cats love playing with this automatic laser toy. It gets them some additional exercise as they love chasing the laser around. I like that you can set time limits for them and that it offers multiple laser combinations so they don't get bored easily. It also pauses at points to allow them to feel like they caught it. They seem happy with it and it offers some independent play time.

This product had good reviews, and my kitty kids love electronic toys. This, however, for all of it's settings, was not appealing. They were very excited when they first saw the laser, but it moves too slowly and predictably. Even my more patient cat- who likes to sit and watch toys- will not watch it. Bummer.

I was surprised to find out how noisy this toy is. My cat just stares at it rather than the light because of the noise it makes. My friend has a similar toy and it is noiseless, so I was expecting this to be the same way. I will definitely be returning it.

If you want to reenergize an older cat who's grown aloof to most toys, try this automatic laser light machine. You choose how often to bring out the magic, how long and in what combinations to let it run; your senior will decide when to stalk, run and pounce on the darting light -- and when to rest before starting the whole game again. It's great fun to watch your cat be so thoroughly entertained by a toy again.

My cats love this toy. Not only that but it is tough. Due to packing problems the item arrived with the box smashed by cases of cat food. Still worked great. Cats love it so much someone turns it on without me.

If there was a way to disguise the top source part of the laser, this might have worked, but since the cats were drawn to the top as well, they walked away. It needs to work more like the laser pens.

I had ordered two of these. They look great. But both of them are very noisy when in use. The noise scares my cats and they will have nothing to do with it. The noise comes while unit is rotating.

Quality of that toy is so bad. The next day we find it that laser is doesn't work properly!! The top part is barely spinning and the laser is barely shining! I do not advise anyone to buy!

Laser light is dim, action is very hesitant, not worth the 18 I spent on it. I recommend the one that's skinny and shaped like a bottle or vase for 17.95. That one is very well made.
