Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:
* very good price * loud sound * bright leds * good plastic: no smell & taste * perfect for children 1y+
Cons:
* poor build quality * uncomfortable switch - it's impossible for small child to turn it off by himself.
OtherThoughts:
It uses 4xAA battereys, not AAA as described. It's more efective to use rechargeable batteries, otherwise you will be forced to use very many normal ones - power consumtion is rather big. Cause of a price, I've bought 3 pcs. at a time and was giving them to my son one by one. One became broken (one gear split) in a month after it was dropped from 1.5m. The second one crashed battery department in two month more. And the last is still working.
a good toy for the price
