4.0 out of 5 stars Good - needs more information, 29 Dec 2007
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This is a good educational toy with easy to follow instructions for setting up circuits. The connections are robust as they are based on magnets - easy for a child to construct and pull apart. My only quibble is the scientific explanations which are too difficult for a 7-8 year old. It needs a simple description/glossary for each component with uses within a circuit followed by the more complicated description. Relies therefore on parental help - pretty non-existent in my household!

One engineer's symbol (light) is inconsistent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Magnets not being recalled?, 26 Sep 2007
Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
With the recall of magnets in toys for safety reasons (if swallowed, they pinch together the gut and can cause death) being headline news, it's nice to see that some companies flaunt the "nanny state" attitude and go ahead anyway.
This toy is great fun, and safe if you follow the instructions. The science principles explored are sound, even if they're not explained in depth. One drawback is that the balls and magnet pieces are easy to lose around the house.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, 28 Dec 2008
By P Edant (Preston, UK) - See all my reviews
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
A good idea, but poorly executed. The variable potentiometer is of the wrong value; it simply doesn't work correctly in the circuits suggested in the manual. The electric motor stalls and won't restart in some circuits. Someone should have proofread the manual: words are missing from some of the page titles. As for the circuits that supposedly produce "music", this is nothing more than a feeble monotonal beep. I won't be buying another John Adams product.
