Jelly Belly Mini Bean Machine Jelly Bean Dispenser, Multi, Assorted, 3.25 Oz

This jelly bean dispenser is awesome! The metal body and glass globe are of good quality and feel really solid. It is the perfect size to put just about anywhere and the colorful jelly beans add a cheery and fun visual touch. The coin slot accepts any type of coin but there is also an option to remove the mechanism to use it without coins which I greatly prefer. It's simply a matter of disassembling it and removing one piece with a screwdriver and then putting it all back together. The jelly beans come out around four at a time and very smoothly with ease with just the twist of the lever. There is a small plastic flap that lifts up to retrieve your jelly beans. The dispenser comes with a small 3.25 oz bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans but since it can hold around 1.5 lbs, the included bag barely fills it and looks quite paltry. I recommend purchasing the 2 lb bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans that Amazon sells as an Add-On item or going somewhere like Costco and getting them in bulk. I gifted this to my fiancé for him to put on his desk at work and he and his co-workers love using it.

This is a great mini desktop candy dispenser. I'm on my second one, since my glass globe broke and you can't purchase a separate glass globe, so you need to purchase a whole new unit and toss the metal base. Easy to add coins and remove them. Easy to refill the Jelly Belly's. The "sampler pack" they send with is almost hysterical. The image on the box shows you can FILL the globe, not have just a handful of the candy in there. So if giving as a gift, purchase a large bag of jellybeans and the recipient will be thrilled... not questioning the "cheapskate" way out with the mini bag inside. It is a bit pricey, especially with the mini-bag of JellyBelly's . Enjoy! And don't let the globe get bumped!

Arrived without any issues and the globe is glass not plastic. Looks great, sturdy metal red bottom. You can use any size coin (penny, dime, quarter) and you will get 2-4 jelly beans with each turn. You have the option to remove the coin feature but I left it in and functional. Great for the kids and adults like the antique look as well as the jelly beans. Easy to fill - unscrew a bolt at the top of the red cap top looking thing using a flat screwdriver and that releases the red top allowing you to pour in your jelly beans. I think one of those big Costco size jelly bean tubs would fill this globe up 3 times.

This Jelly Belly dispenser was perfect for my eight-year-old grandson's birthday. He loves it. It looks like the photo and is very well made and top quality. You would expect it from a well-known company such as Jelly Belly. There are 20 Jelly Belly flavors. JB is such a quality company. If they say they will include 20 flavors, that is exactly what they do. I'm sure he will be ready for a stash of refilled Jelly Belly beans for Christmas or the end of the week. The best part is that Mom and Dad can moderate how much he's allowed to have at a time. It can be used as a piggy bank and he can set the price to charge his older brother. Ha! I wonder why the box says the container only has 3 servings of 27 jelly beans. We didn't count, but there are many more than 3. ***I'm adding an update - When I wrote the above review, my grandson had not opened the package of Jelly Beans yet. He had not put them in the Jelly Bean Machine. I didn't look at the package closely. Now I know why JB said there were 3 servings of 27 jelly beans. I saw the package after it had been added, and it just barely covered the bottom of the container! This little jb machine is well made and very cute, but the description of the container was accurate, but the photo on the box is misleading...especially with the very small bag. It would have been better to send it without jelly beans and have a link to the various jelly beans. It's impossible to know how many jbs it would take to fill it up. 1lb would be more like it, some left over.

The "Bean Machine" has worked fine for us so far. I was a little nervous about the glass breaking after reading the reviews. As a result, I make sure I don't overly tighten the top nuts on the glass globe. In fact, I don't really tighten them at all, I just spin the nuts with one fingertip (one fingertip only) until I feel the slightest resistance and then I stop. There is no reason to tighten the nuts any further as this is a stationary unit and there shouldn't be any reason for the glass globe to move. The mechanism works fine and drops 2 to 4 "beans" at a time. It works with the Belly Flops even when there are 2 or 3 stuck together. I've been through 2 lbs of Belly Flops and the crank only jammed up once. The one time it jammed was due to the mother of all Belly Flops; the 5 bean MEGA Flop (which was super fun to eat by the way). The 5 bean MEGA Flop required the remaining beans be poured out of the top and into a bowl. The MEGA Flop fell out with the rest and no harm was done.

My son loved this as a gift for his birthday. Just realize that this is the machine only. There is a tiny bag of beans included with the machine, but after you pour them into the machine, you can't even see them because there are so few of them they do not even rise above the metal base to be seen through the glass. We bought a 4 pound canister of jelly bellys at Costco and packed it with the machine as part of the gift. It was a huge hit. The base is metal, and seems sturdy. The globe is glass. The machine has a decidedly quality feel to it that makes it far nicer than the cheap plastic machines that are so common these days. Having said that, this machine is pretty small, and not nearly as big as an old fashioned gumball machine. This item would be a great office item, too.

Got this as a present for my daughter and she loves it. She was so exited to have jellybellys at her disposal. As a parent it Is nice for her not to just be able to stick her hand in the bag and have to have money for it.

Molto carino, perfettamente funzionante e scenografico

This is a fun item to keep around for the grandkids. We keep a little tray of coins for them to get a few jellybeans.

So cute
