Description:
Ever dreamed of having a vending machine in your room? With this engineering kit, you can build and experiment with your own toy vending machine. First, follow the step-by-step instructions to assemble the machine. Then test and configure it to get it working perfectly. Load your vending machine with all kinds of small candies or prizes and you’re in business! Insert some coins and have fun watching them get sorted, perform stunts as they slide down the tracks, dispense prizes, and finally end up in the coin bank in the base of the machine.This awesome vending machine has four main interactive segments: First, you insert coins (quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies) into the slot at the top and turn a knob to sort the coins. Then, the coins fall into an interactive coin track area where they slide down ramps, make jumps, and ring bells. Next, the coins fall into a device that allows you to make your “purchase” with the push of a button. Finally, your prize pops out of the machine, and the coin falls into the bank, sorted into neat stacks by denomination.The vending machine can sit on a tabletop or hang on a wall. A small key allows you to access the vending machine compartments for refilling the prizes.Explore lessons in physics, math, and mechanical engineering as you build and play with the vending machine. Learn about gears and other simple machines, gravity, forces, motion, and collisions. Try some simple math lessons related to the coins and money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great all-around kit.
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } This ended up being a lot of fun for my eight-year-old. Really easy to put together for him, maybe took 30 minutes. I see a lot of complaints about it not working properly. It’s not rocket science. Make a few easy little adjustments and it will work great. For example, we kept having a problem with the coins falling out as they fell through the maze. Well, all you had to do is lean it back a millimeter or two and then it would work perfect. So we put a small dab of hot glue on the front of the white triangular stands. Works perfect. Sometimes things don’t work right out of the box and simple problem-solving needs to take place.

This product is super easy to put together. No tools required, just snap parts together by hands. The mechanics are so simple, there’s really no reason for it not to work except if you have a missing or broken parts situation. However, it does require that the instructions be followed carefully because some details are easy to be missed by a child, e.g., the orientation of certain parts. The finished product instantly became a hit with my 5 and 9 year old boys. They picked out all the smaller candies they got from the last Halloween, as well as coins from their piggy bank, and played with this candy vending machine nonstop. They plan on charging their friends for candies when they come for play dates and expect that they will gladly pay for them because of the fun of it. The boys also excitedly talked about where to source exotic candies to make their friends more motivated to pay, say, a trip to the Japanese store. Alternatively I think we can also turn it into a mini toys vending machine which is an added fun. On a final note, our kids are not looking to make money - their friends usually just come by anytime and rummage through our house for snacks. It’s really just for the fun of having a “vending machine”.
3.0 out of 5 stars Kids can’t build alone.
Kids will need assistance with this build and may lose interest with all of the pieces. Once built, it does not work as advertised. It works “sometimes” and not very well.
4.0 out of 5 stars Fun to build and use
My son and I had fun building this and it works good to help him organize his coins. The candy is not great but still a fun prize to start. He enjoys choosing small toys to use as prizes for him and his brother. It was delivered on time with no missing parts and is a great size. Sometimes the coins fall out and don’t go through the organizer but that can be fixed it you tilt it back just a bit. It’s easy for him to use and reload the prizes. Would recommend
1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money
I thought this would be so cool for my sons for Christmas & it was a nightmare from the second I opened the box. It is cheap & flimsy I think personally for the price tag & the directions are not super clear. You have to really really pay attention to the pictures or you’ll put a piece on backwards, etc. Once I got it together, it was a hit with my kids but that quickly came to an end when it kept falling apart & pieces were getting jammed, etc. This was something I wanted to hang on the wall as an incentive for my kids for behaving & doing things to help around the house, etc. Needless to say, it never even got the chance to be hung on the wall because pieces were already breaking. A lot of these reviews are crazy to me because this was a hunk of almost $40 junk in my eyes, but I guess it worked out for some people. & some of the pieces included to make different ways for the coins to go were just annoying & went straight in the trash (such as the little bell looking things, they aren’t bells at all.. they make the coin stop & it falls out of the machine completely wherever & rolls under things) This is taken apart & in the top of the junk closet just waiting for the trash which is unfortunate for almost $40 to be completely wasted. The candy included also tasted horrible & was an extremely weird texture that left a weird “film” on your fingers just from touching it. I would just save your money & put it towards a STEM activity that actually works, stays together, doesn’t break so easily, & is worth the money.
5.0 out of 5 stars So neat! 9/10 DIY 7/10
I did have to tape the back a bit so the coins would fall in the right place, but it's pretty cool! Great idea and pretty good execution. Candy was in good condition but I will not be including it. My kid will love putting random stuff in this and it's super cool that she can switch up the fall obstacles, but coins do flop out of it. Not perfect, but good value for under twenty bucks.
5.0 out of 5 stars Ease of use
Love it it is simple easy to use and easy to clean
2.0 out of 5 stars Very flimsy
The candy vending machine is pretty easy to put together and I really like the different experiments included in the instructions, but it's pretty flimsy. The first time my 7 year old played with it, the top fell off, the openings come out of their hinges, etc. My 7 year old is pretty hard on toys, so if your child is more gentle it may be a better fit, but I also pulled a hinge out and had to fix it, so it's just really flimsy.
Best customer service!

Had a part break after normal use. Contacted support and they right away tried to send me the broken piece. Unfortunately, customs denied the package 3 times. So, Thames & Kosmos sent me a whole new set! Thanks for such great customer service.
