Love this toy! Super fun for kids of all ages. Holds a charge really well and I like that it doesn’t have to be kept plugged in to use. Even my 2 year old can work it mostly by himself. He can’t move the tubing around alone yet, but that’s to be expected, as he gets older he’ll get a kick out of rearranging it himself. Right now he just loves putting the balls in messing with the settings and watching them come flying out! I will say there is not enough tubing to do as much as we’d like. Especially for the price. Would definitely get the add on pack if you’re going to purchase this. Other than that, it’s great quality, pretty easy to put together and the tubing holds together really well, except when making it too tall. I love that this is a toy he can grow with. I foresee this being a staple in our home for many years!

My kid loves this toy. It’s fun to watch him consider the changes he will make every couple of minutes. And I’m always shocked at how well it works.We’ve created loops that never end, a shower style that had everyone laughing, and even catch/batting practice.The balls are extremely light weight and the tubes are well made. They parts come apart easy enough for a kid, and after a the first couple play sessions they are pros at making their own adjustments. The power wheel on the side is easy to turn and has a light to show the power.This was a fantastic purchase well worth the expense.

Purchased this as a Christmas gift for our boys (one being special needs). My boys love marble run however it’s always falling apart and having to be made many times throughout the day. This item is more sturdier and the boys can play this for hours. It’s easy to assemble, just wish it came with a book of all the different ways we can build it. I had to go online to get ideas.

**Update 1/23/2024**Sadly I have to update my review just weeks after leaving my first review.I ordered this on 12/26 and it arrived after the new year which was find since I bought it for my daughters birthday in early January. I ordered it on Dec 23,2023 and it arrived Jan 3,2024 -- on Jan 22,2024 the motor and blower stopped working. Since it was within the return window I attempted to do so and planned on buying a new one assuming it was a fluke that it stopped working. I contacted the seller that same day and got the following response.Limolin LLC*My reasoning for asking for the return*Jan 22, 2024 11:10 AMHello, I’d like to request a return as the blower has stopped working. The lights will show that it is fully charged. Once powered on the dial lights up but there is no air movement and the motor doesn’t turn on.*sellers response*Jan 22, 2024 11:49 AMhello,please note that a defect or damage should be reported up to 5 days from the delivery date and your package was delivered on Jan. 3.regards,customer careI bought this within the extended holiday return window and am shocked that they will not refund this. For a toy at this price point (at the time it was $165 I expected this to last much much longer then 19 days. For these reasons I cannot recommend this toy any longer.Original ReviewAs soon as I saw this advertised I knew my kids would love it. For years they have been obsessed with the air tubes displays at kid museums and now we have they own buildable one at home. Easy to use & put together. The tubes and connectors just slide together instead of screw in which makes it easier for my younger kids to build independently. Replacing the foam balls once they get lost or broken seems simple because they are about the size of the popper foam balls used for the toy guns. The dial lights up to show how powerful the blower is running, at full speed quieter then I expected. The only thing I wish was that while it was plugged in I was able to run it. So far I’ve only been able to run the blower after it’s charged and unplugged. Not a big deal to me but wouldn’t be nice. Other thing is that you should buy the expansion pack of connectors and tubes as you’re going to want to build more elaborate runs.

Very fun to play with. Great to engage our 2 year old and My husband at the same time.

My daughter loves this toy. It was very easy to set up and use. The blower is not that big but has enough power to push the balls through and even shoot them out of the tube.I also like that it is rechargeable and does not have to be plugged in all the time. It is very lightweight and easy to transport and move around the house. It comes with enough balls to play with over and over again.It also has a power knob where you can change the speed of the blower, which allows the balls to go slow or fast.The cons: I think the machine is very cool and fun to play with. I do think the toy is overpriced and should only cost no more than 60 dollars.The on-off switch could be more user-friendly. My daughter is two years old and is very smart and can turn on and access a lot of things. In this machine, you need to hold the button down for 3 seconds for it to turn on. If it had a flip switch, it would make it easier for kids to use.For the price, I think it should come with double the amount of tubes. You have some tubes to make a couple of loops and designs but for the price, it should have more.Overall, it's a nice product and fun for the kids and the family.

Once you develop a procedure to set the parts up, this is a barrel of fun. You probably will want to order at least one expansion kit to really bring it to life.

Bought for my 4 yo grandson and he loves it! Easy to use and construct and very durable! Love that it teaches air flow and pressure control. You can also purchase add-on tubes! Excellent buy!
