Great quality and easy to use

My daughters love this thank.yoy great product

It looks like a lot of creative fun ,I believe it will be well received as a Christmas gift.

I wanted to give this machine a few tries before I gave it a review. To be fair, the first few times, three to be exact, that I tried it, I was not impressed. I can say fully, and unapologetically, that I was the problem and not the machine. The first few times I used it the results looked like some drunken, knotted mess. No I was not drinking. I started looking at the pattern and realized there was no white. Then I realized there was no white because I didn't put the white spool in. 🙄 I tried it with the white spool and it braided a lot better but the tension was too tight and locked up the spools. I didn't force it, so it wouldn't break, and I re-spooled the spools. Tension is important, following the instructions is very important. You can use other cord materials like embroidery floss to re-use the spools. The refill kits are too expensive in my opinion but the spool design is awesome. Make sure if you re-spool that you do so counter clockwise because your chord has to come off the spool clockwise. Also when you load your spools you will notice the front is the side with the solid part. This is important so you don't load the wrong side and have it pop out. I've done kumi braiding before with the friendship braiding disks and it takes me forever. This is a quick fun way to do the same thing. So far I love it. Especially now that I figured out what I was doing wrong. Lol

This product is a great gift for young girls!

This is a cool toy. For anyone wanting to make bracelets “fast”, this is a really cool toy. But it has problems. All the moving parts are plastic, which means they are easily damaged. For instance one of the spool carriers on mine will not hold a spool. You put it on and it pops right off. I would strongly urge the first use to be with an adult as well as the child (or even teen). The instructions are written in 15 languages and are minuscule. Removing the spools from the carriers requires compressing the part of the carrier so the spool doesn’t damage it when it comes off. And once you have everything in place, spinning the spools takes just the right amount of force. Too little and it comes to a stop. Too much and it jams. Bring a lot of patience and good humor to the first use of this toy. Otherwise you’ll be putting it in the trash. I also recommend you have some small binder clips on hand. They provide tape, but I found the binder clips worked better. Also, once you install the arm on the base, you won’t be able to remove it, and it will no longer fit in the box for storage. It’s not a bad toy. It’s a cool idea. But it’s made of cheap plastic.

Bought this as a gift they enjoyed it very much great way to spend time making friends ship braclets nice colors and quality

Ok this was a little hard to figure out the 1st use, we used the youtube video they recommended and it def helped and once we got it all together. I wouldnt say my 9 year old would have been able to put this all together on her own but once we got it setup it was fun for her to use
