Not worth the price, reasons follow: 1- it has edible gum-balls which are soft and gets stuck in the machine. 2- gum-balls leave color on kids hands 3- assembly is not easy instructions are not clear 4- build quality of the machine is good but major elements i.e gum-balls are edible and soft.

It’s like a marble run gone horribly wrong ! Real low quality runners and plastic

I bought this item as a gift for my niece. She put it together and loves it.

Fun and easy to put together! I do with it came with and extra bag of gumballs only bc the kids ate them in one day lol

As mentioned by other buyers, the gumballs get stuck in the top turning mechanism and they don't come out no matter what we did. We have to get the gumballs from the top opening manually by hand. Total disappointment! Build quality is flimsy. The domino effect doesn't work well. I should have trusted the reviews but my son really wanted it so I had no choice. Really not worth your money. Buy elsewhere.

I’m extremely happy with this purchase. The quality exceeded my expectations, and everything arrived exactly as described. It was well packaged, easy to set up/use, and feels durable and thoughtfully made. I’ve been using it regularly and it performs consistently without any issues. You can tell attention was given to both design and functionality. Shipping was fast, the price was fair, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. I would definitely purchase from this seller again and would recommend this product to others without hesitation.

This was an arse to assemble, there's the instructions book and a QR code to take you to a video on how to assemble it in different ways. The videos are too quick for me, I had to watch the video a dozen times to get it right. Frustrating but at least I left a few strands of hair left on my husband's head 😄👌🏼. It came with a small bag of 14mm size gumballs, I wanted more so I found the 14 mm size gumballs, Double Bubble. Nice big bag just right for the gumball machine. Have to keep twisting it until a gumball comes out. But be careful that you don't break it. Twist it one way and another to get one completely out. Sometimes it works with a few twists in one direction. The rest of the things I put into a ziploc bag to keep them in one place and easy to find. 4 stars because it was challenging for me and seems like it will break easily if not cautious. In the end, it turned out well and was fun to play with. I did the pinball so my daughter is having fun and sharing everyone's gum💖👌🏼.
