## Questions & Answers

**Q: real users: what age has enjoyed using this independently?**
A: I have used it with 7 and 8 year old children and they are able to use it independently.

**Q: How long would you say it takes to follow the instructions and assemble one of the machines? Our science classes are 30 min long. Thanks.**
A: Because different people complete things at different speeds, there isn't one definitive answer. But, depending on the difficulty level of the model (they get more challenging as you progress through the manual), they can take anywhere from 15 minutes about 30 minutes, on average.

**Q: best price old ?**
A: Good Morning!!
Thank you for asking about the price of this item.  Currently all the items we have listed on Amazon are at the absolute lowest price we can offer.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great gift
*by C***S on August 16, 2025*

Got this as a gift for my nephew and he absolutely loved it. For the price, it kept him busy for hours. Its nicely made and for a kid who loves taking things apart and putting things together, this hit the bullseye. Would buy this company’s products again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very useful and fun
*by W***3 on August 30, 2020*

Pros:1. The instructions are easy to read and understand.2. The plastic pieces are very durable.3. Each "simple machine" diagram explains the use and function of the machine.4. Very educational and useful in a homeschool setting when studying Simple Machines, one at a time.Cons:1. The pieces sort of "lock" together making disassembly a bit difficult, especially if you put the wrong pieces together.2. You can only make one "machine" at a time. So, you need multiple sets if you want to have multiple machines constructed at the same time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very fun
*by M***E on November 8, 2024*

Overall a great kit. Ages 5 and under struggle but great for 7 to 15 year olds.
