Okay, let me tell you about this adorable whale bath toy that's been making splash time more fun (when it works). The automatic water spray and colorful lights instantly grab my baby's attention - their little face lights up brighter than the toy when it starts spinning and spraying.

The rechargeable battery is a game-changer compared to toys that eat through AAA batteries. A full charge lasts through multiple baths... when the toy decides to cooperate. I did have that frustrating moment where it stopped working mid-bath like some reviewers mentioned - turns out you MUST charge it fully before first use (learn from my mistake!).

While the flashing lights and fountain effect are magical, the mechanical whirring sound can be startling. My niece actually cried the first time she heard it, while my nephew couldn't care less. The whale's smooth edges and durable ABS material give me peace of mind during those excited baby grabs.

Pro tip: That charging port cover? Yeah, it's stubborn. Use a toothpick to gently pry it open unless you want to risk breaking a nail. And maybe don't wait until bath time to discover if yours is defective - test it during the return window.

When it works, it's a bath time hero. When it doesn't, you're left with a cute but silent whale floating sadly in the tub. Three stars for potential, minus two for reliability roulette.
