Lots of fun
I got this for my seven-month old and he immediately loved it. It took him no time to learn how to press the blue handle down and get one of the peek-a-rounds gumballs to come out. The top only has room for four or five of the peek-a-rounds (it comes with four: teddy bear, candy, lollipop and ring), so I had to stand by and continuously put more on the top as he pressed the handle. Whenever the handle is pressed, the gumball machine plays a short tune. It also has a switch to turn the songs off or control the volume. There is a yellow turn handle at the front that makes a clicking noise when turned. My son really likes that too. One reviewer said this handle was hollow and dangerous. Mine is not hollow, so perhaps it was changed (for the better!). One thing I don't like about this toy is that it doesn't have a very solid base; my son easily, and frequently tips it over. That doesn't seem to detract from his fun though.

Lots of fun, even for older siblings! Maybe MORE for them...
I loved the look of this toy! What a great idea---little balls with toys inside, much like the Peek-a-Blocks, but round, and a toy gum machine to put them in! My baby was not quite as excited, however. She figured out quickly how to push the lever, but didn't really seem to put it all together to be interested in a ball rolling out, or in putting a ball in. That might come along---it's a lot of steps for a baby to follow. She likes the sound it makes when the lever is pushed, and how we all clap when she figures out how to push it, but it's her 7 year old brother who plays the most with this! He loves seeing how many balls he can fit in the top, and watching them roll out. That's great, because WATCHING this at work entertains the baby a lot, and that's a great thing in a baby toy.

Although it's not a flaw of the toy, if you buy extra balls to use with this, there is not really any storage room for them, and if you have a house like mine, balls do tend to roll away! They also get easily flung by babies, and this seems like one of the toys that will someday end up being without accessories---just the machine. Perhaps most houses are more organized than mine...

Overall, a lot of fun, a good value and another well thought out FP toy.

Good but. . .
My daughter loves this toy. She figured out how to use it in a couple days. However, it's top heavy, so it falls over very easily and has squashed my babys hands on more than one occasion. It should of had a stronger or wider base.
