A little loud, but works well.
The media could not be loaded. I came across this item and it peaked my interest, it looked like a cool like gadget... After reading the reviews however it appeared this item might be faulty. Well, it arrived and after a little time assembling it and adjusting the bits to the right place.... I then secured them and tweaked as needed. The measurement for the track cut is accurate although the last section I couldn't see the specified length, so I just cut them to fit. As you can see in the video, it works although it's a bit noisy.Anyone buying this, following the instructions aren't too bad, but when you get to putting the track on, I looked at the picture on the box along with the diagram. Once I clipped one end of the rails on, you are provided with cross rail sections. I suggest putting these on as you go. I also suggest leaving the securing twist clips off the arms that hold the track in place until you have everything in the correct place. You can angle the rail holders accordingly. If you pull the inner rail on a corner, it will tilt the track around countering the weight and movement of the ball, so make sure you have the outer rail of a corner higher and longer than the inner rail (see pics or video)It's a bit fiddly, but once you have the rods and arms done, you can start on the track. As long as you attach the track to the correct rod location and you add the track supports as you go, you can do the smaller adjustments after.Be aware also that the bars aren't stuck in place and as you attach the track, they can move about. I worked around this, but you can opt to glue the rods to the board, or just put a bit of paper over the hole and push the rod through pinching paper between the rod and base.

Only buy if you have a degree in physics
The concept is great, nice kit however.... The instructions suck big time and make little to no sense. Built half of it to realise parts were missing. But that aside even if the parts were there you will need an A level in physics to make it actually work properly. I want 4 hours of my life back. The instructions tell you to cut and join the rail using the joiners that are too small, only to say two pages later...... You may need to change the design, and don't cut the rail.

Save up and buy the wooden kits
Even though I read the bad reviews, I thought I would give this a go. Boy was I wrong.Setting it up on the first few pages is easy enough, but when it comes to installing the actual rail (which comes in one HUGE rolled up line that you have to cut) is a pain, due to it flexing all over. Its supposed to snap into the rail holders, which is does at first. But then when you need to snap it into the next rail holder on a slight angle the first one snaps out and can hit you in the face if not careful.I gave up when it said after the first installation of the rail said to continue into a loop which is very VERY hard to do when the rail line is flexing in one hand and snapping out of the previous rail holders and undoing your previous work.The ONLY part that worked well was the ball elevator which works really well and powered by 1 C size battery (no dc power for this). So if you are still sure you want to try this get yourself a rechargeable C size battery.Other than that it 'may' be a great gift for an adult to try and use, but for me its gone back into its box.BTW, the 2 small steel balls you get in the kit (yep you only get 2 balls for this kit which I would expect more), are mostly used as stress balls for your hands.

Nightmare to assemble
ReallyDifficult to follow instructions not step by step and on trying to Google even worse. Still trying to complete but winging it

Great fun
The rails are a bit hard to handle, but overall we're happy

Brilliant STEM
Great learning toy, although I’ve put ease of assembly as low as in this case it’s good

Total garbage zero fun
Was a Christmas present for my son who tried to build it but had no chance. Grampa stepped in and said the instructions were terrible. I’ve also had a go(dad) and spent about 4 hours trying to figure it out. Incredibly fiddly & the worst instructions ever. Not worth the hassle and heartache .
