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.

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

My nephew is gumball obsessed and he loved this gift. It comes with a handful of gumballs. He finds it to be very fun that the gumballs come our different ways. He loved building it.

A lot of other reviews said that the pieces broke as they tried to build this, but I haven't had any issues. When we first opened it, my son (8) and I spent about an hour going through each of the "builds." We didn't read the directions in the booklet, but instead watched the videos and just followed along by pausing and copying what they were doing. My two boys (age 8 and 6) have continued to play with this weekly by using their own creativity to do other builds. The only thing that doesn't work well is the mechanism that turns the gumballs and drops them into the "maze." When we had the bowl filled with gumballs, it constantly jammed and caused frustration. So we removed all the gumballs and put them in a separate container. Then we just drop one in at a time and turn the little wheel to let the gumball out into the maze. It seems to work well, by just doing one at a time. Overall, this is a fun screen-free toy!
