Summary: Review for Electricity kit
Comment: Pros: This kit is perfect for my 6 year old grandson who immediately became interested in the book and how everything worked. The delivery was very quick. A great starter kit and easy to understand.

Cons: The product was not very well packed and moved around in delivery. I discovered a broken light bulb and the electric motor did not work properly when I tested it. I emailed the company I purchased it from to have a replacement sent out and they responded by saying there was nothing they could do and instead gave me the number of the manufacturer. I find this very unsatisfactory and a poor customer service response. I can not use the kit until I find replacements and 6 year olds do not understand this.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good gift
Comment: My 6 yr old received this as a gift, and it was possibly one of his favorite gifts. The book was very elementary so he could read it. We had to help him ensure good connections to the battery, but then he could do most everything else himself. Some of the connectors were a little too short to actually hook the alligator clips to, but he understood he only had to touch the connectors to make the components work, they didn't have to be attached. Agreed with others: the LED does not work with one D cell - ours required lining up 2 D cells to produce a noticeable light. All the other components worked for us.

{Additional note: Our son later received the "Snap Circuits" SC-300 set. It completely blows away this "beginner set". I'd highly recommend taking a look at that one if you're looking for a set that's going to keep a child's interest longer.}

Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor quality; get another electricity kit
Comment: This kit is rather overpriced, in my opinion. The accompanying book is extremely skimpy. The components are cheap. The LED doesn't work and the buzzer doesn't work. (Yes, we tried connecting in both directions. And I've done this before with other kits, and have gotten LEDs and buzzers to work, so this isn't a lack of knowledge on my part.)

Age-wise, this is at best suitable for a 5 or 6 year old. It doesn't offer enough for my 7 year old.

I'd recommend getting an electricity kit from Snap Circuit instead. They come in a wide price range. Even the simplest is a bit more expensive than this kit, but they're far superior in terms of fun, durability, and educational value.

Summary: ScienceWiz Electricty
Comment: This is exactly what it's supposed to be - a fun introduction to electricty for young kids. It is well worth the price.


Customer Rating:
Summary: Best Gift (for kids and dad)!
Comment: We gave this to our 7 and 5 year old for Christmas. They sat with their dad for over an hour the first day. They have tried many other experiments since then and they love it. My husband really enjoys teaching them about something he knows about. They all seem to like it and they are talking about getting more parts to try other variations of the experiments in the kit. Overall, a great buy. We are going to try the Chemistry one next! Very pleased!
