The toy is great! However, I accidentally ordered 2 for the quantity. I found this mistake and contacted the company the very next day. They corrected it in their system before it shipped out. I received one of what I ordered. Perfect, or so I thought. My debit card was charged for two. I contacted the company and they said it would take about a week to credit my account since I went through Amazon. That was in Nov. I’ve contacted the company twice more with no response and I still have yet to get my credit for the second order which I never received. My son loves the product but I just wish I had my money back. Had I not contacted them immediately, at least I would have the second product to actually return! But I don’t! I just paid for two, and received one. I am still waiting to receive my credit.

I purchased this for my 7 year old daughter and she loved it. My only complaints are that: (1) one of the parts does not work (confirmed by independent testing); and (2) the parts are EXTREMELY difficult to get out of their snug receptacles in the molded plastic case, even with small fingers. Otherwise, a great and highly educational toy.

Initial impressions after working with my 10 and 13-year old boys for a week: promising, but may need more punch to sustain interest and drive many of the learnings it seeks to achieve, especially for about $100.
Overall, the product has good durability, is well designed, and allows kids to get moving pretty quickly. Unlike other sets in this domain, Snap does an excellent job in the component design, allowing kids to readily snap together circuits to build various projects right away and in minutes. That provides the kids with initial positive reinforcement to see the job done and working. The issue then becomes the wow factor of the projects themselves. Think it is somewhat mixed, but looking to learn more after additional projects.
Unfortunately in the days of Xboxes and iPods, excitement level thresholds are higher, and the excitement factor connected to the results of the projects here may offer some challenges.

When I got up this morning I thought I was the first one awake because the TV hadn’t been turned on. I was surprised to find my son in the dining room playing with his snap circuits! He loves this toy! The directions are easy for him to follow on his own. He has made many of the different projects completely unassisted. The parts are kid friendly and go together very well. He’s learning a lot about the flow of electricity. The price is pretty high, but when you consider how expensive video games are, it’s not too bad. If you have a child who’s interested in putting things together, you will get your money’s worth.
