Mini Claw Machine For Kids – The Claw Toy Grabber Machine is Ideal for Children and Parties, Fill with Small Toys and Candy – Claw Machines Feature LED Lights, Loud Sound Effects and Coins

Loud, loud....loud, but worked and kept kids entertained. I have no complaints abouts the mechanics. We even dropped hot wheel cars in there, some with edges the claw would catch on, and it grabbed them. It's light, cheap, plastic, and it's going to break probably sooner rather than later, but it'll probably outlast a kids interest in grabbing little thing with a noisy plastic claw. My son enjoyed it for a few weeks, and I was glad when he moved onto another toy. I feel like I got my money's worth of enjoyment out of it. I'd probably be fun to set up at a party, maybe for teens, with a few nicer party favors in it (like for a girls sweet 16- put earrings in there, give the girls a chance to grab a pair) or like we did with the hot wheels, it kept the boys focused on something other than a video game. I think it eventually stopped working, about 2 months later, but I'm not sure if that was because it broke or because the boys did something to it. I've had no desire to repair it.

My son loves this. Only issue is the plastic piece on the bottom that holds the coins in place -- it keeps falling off, so we taped it shut. You don't need to put the coins in the slot for this to work. You can activate it by halfway putting a coin in and taking it back out, if that makes sense. Make sure you get batteries!

I bought this and was very happy with it. Now - I can't get the "claw" lever to move it down. Any suggestions? It moves left and right; sound works; no jams...

This thing is addicting! I wanted to give it to the grandkids as a Christmas gift but decided it would be more fun if they unwrapped it with items inside. I tried various small toys and different size candies to see what would work and what didn't. It paid off. The kids loved it. We found that the coins didn't always work but if you hold a coin in the slot and pull it back out, the game will trigger (putting in the slot seemed to go too fast for the sensor).

I purchased one of these and when I turned it on, all that happened was the lights flickered on and right back off. It would not do anything else. I returned it and ordered another one. While openining the second order, I knew just as soon as I opened the box that it would not work. There was no factory packaging, no plastic around the claw, no plastic coins, and no instruction pamplet. This item has already been returned once and the seller (DBROTH) had just put it back on the shelf to resell a defective product. I did install new batteries and give it a try, and nothing happened, no lights, sound, or movement, just as I figured. This was supposed to be for my sons bday. The only good thing I can say about this is that I'm glad all of this happened before his bday so there wouldnt be another disappointed child with a broken toy. They need to take these off the market, theres more bad reviews than good. I'm not one to normally give bad reviews, but this one deserves to be known.

First one purchased would not power on & led to a disappointing Christmas morning. Next one arrived a few days later & turned on ok; however there are no volume controls & it is WAY TOO LOUD to be placed anywhere. Kids were enjoying the machine initially but after 5 minutes they placed ear muffs on to try & soften the volume level. Fingers crossed that this toy lasts for more than a week.

Awesome product! Got this for my 6 year old who is always wanting to spend his money on vending machine toys and games. It is a small machine for sure. Easily will fit on a desk and still have space for you to work around but it was a good price. It does well picking up lighter items and candies. Heavy candy does not stay in the claw. The joy sticks are small but the children use them easily enough. It is slightly cumbersome for an adult but not impossible. The outer part is plastic, not glass and seems pretty secure. It's had a couple tumbles but no cracks or anything in the plastic. We don't use the coin feature much. You can hold the same coin and get the machine to start without pushing it all the way through the slot if you are careful, and that is usually what my son does to play. If you hold it too haphazardly while transporting, the claw can get tied up over the belts on top and need small fingers to adjust, or some patience turning the machine upside down and tilting it to get it free. These are minor nuisances and do not much effect the children's enjoyment from playing. I'm really glad I bought this. It's really been fun for the kids and the neighbors who come over to play.

We gave this to my sons (5 and 7) for Christmas (we celebrated early due to work) and they’ve been playing with this claw machine for hours. Not an exaggeration. They’re racing, trying to get each other certain prizes, seeing who can collect the most prizes in a single scoop, etc. I purchased those little 25 cent prize dispenser type capsules (the small cup shaped ones with the flat multi-colored lids) and filled them with small candies (kisses, gum, hard candies, etc), small toys (moshi/squishy animals), and slips of paper with “rewards” on them (extra screen time, skip a chore, dinner of your choice, etc). The containers are the perfect size. I also followed the recommendations of another reviewer who gave instructions for disabling the speaker. It is INCREDIBLY loud, but very easy to disconnect. Just remove the 8 or so screws from the perimeter of the base, lift the bottom panel up, and clip the two wires running to the speaker. My wires were both yellow. And even though there were probably a dozen or more other wires, there were only 2 connected to the speaker. The whole process took less than 10 minutes and that was with a manual screwdriver. Highly recommend this machine. I could see it being a hit at a birthday party, as a reward in the classroom, or even just in your home as a fun toy.
