UPDATE:
We received the requested replacement parts in the mail! There was no confirmation or notification from the seller regarding receipt of our request but the items showed up in the mail in time for Christmas stocking stuffers. THANK YOU! Kids still play with this toy and I’ve purchased a much larger set since then that they absolutely love!

Bought this for our son and he absolutely LOVED it! He played with it for a few times but the light/fan stopped working consistently then a few weeks later the battery pack cover came loose and now the CD10 piece light is lose so it won’t turn on. We’ve tried contacting customer service and completed their replacement product request but with no response. I’m not sure how best to get ahold of the replacement parts and that’s very unfortunate bc it really is a great toy. I was planning to get the expanded sets for Christmas but given the poor or lack of customer service, will not be moving forward with that.

Other than the customer service component, I would highly recommend the product as it’s a great starting point for younger minds to learn about circuits and electricity.

Favorite Gift!

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2020

Style: KitVerified Purchase

I got this for my nephew for Christmas and it was his favorite gift! He absolutely loved it and after we built a few circuits together, he did them all on his own (age 6 btw). The instructions are very clear and it's quite durable. The instructions direct one not to short the terminals on the battery pack as it will cause the on-board fuse to blow. My nephew did this a few times inadvertently but the fuse never blew, so that was reassuring. I suggest that the manufacturer install a breaker switch or a fuse that can be easily replaced if it does blow (the current fuse is a hard solder through-hole part that can't be easily accessed).

I didn't have any issues with the components not working out of the box. I checked every component with a DMM and they all checked out.

This kit doesn't go into any circuit theory (a little bit would be nice) but it is definitely an attention grabber and fun as heck for the kids. I will be buying the next model up for my nephew!

Summary- my 5 year old can do it with help and LOVES it.

Pro- easy directions and appealing for kids. Great beginning science thing.

Con- the battery pack is stupidly fragile. Mine was broken gave it as a Christmas present so that wasn’t worth the returning it’s just disappointing for an otherwise great gift

This is an easy way to teach the theory of electricity to younger ones and hopefully spark an interest. The one thing that is great about young children learning about electricity is that it is so darn logical. It is very linear, and it promotes analytical thinking processes.

Excellent starter set

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2023

Style: KitVerified Purchase

Got this for my four year old daughter to let her experiment with some very basic electrical circuits and she’s loving it. The pieces are a bit hard to assemble and she sometimes needs a little bit of help but the instructions are great and we get to explore different circuits and experiments together.
I wish the variations would be a bit more different, some of them feel very much the same, just a different light for example. But overall great value for the money.

Really Nice Toy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 27, 2021

Style: KitVerified Purchase

Bought this for my 8-year-old son, he is mostly interested in his PC so bought this small set as was not sure he would be interested.

It was a present from Santa so just got around to taking a look. It's well built and the instructions are easy to follow, my son had to be prised off his PC to play with this, but did enjoy it. He was soon able to build the models and it gave him a great sense of achievement.

He wants to take it to school and show his friends which is great, too early to see if his interest will last but hope it does as I like it as well and want to get bigger sets!
