Review: Interesting model that actually works, fun to assemble. - The kit consists of four wooden panels pre-cut by laser with press-out pieces. In addition there are rubber bands and wax to lubricate moving parts, and an easy to follow instruction book. The completed machine can count by operating a 'plunger' or by turning a wheel, and can be reset to zero (or to any number) by opening the front, which disengages the number wheels from their gears, enabling them to be turned independently. I don't know how long it will last, but it seems quite sturdy and even has rubber feet under it (made from a rubber band). Only negatives is some parts can be quite hard to press out (there is a tool provided), and it takes quite a bit of pressure to press some of the parts together. Also, eventually the rubber bands (that act like springs) will eventually decay and break, I expect. (It would probably be possible to repair it if this did happen). But worth 5 stars as an entertaining puzzle as well as educational.
Review: Really cool and fun to build - I got this for my 9 year old niece for her birthday. I’ll say i was really impressed by the quality of the pieces and the instructions. She also really liked it. My only issue with it was that it was too hard for my niece to assemble it. It needed too much force to push the pieces in their places. I, a 30+ year old, had to push/squeeze hard to get the pieces in. I did enjoy it though, and i think anyone who enjoys DIY and handcrafts would enjoy it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really cool and fun to build
*by K***Z on 28 December 2021*

I got this for my 9 year old niece for her birthday. I’ll say i was really impressed by the quality of the pieces and the instructions. She also really liked it. My only issue with it was that it was too hard for my niece to assemble it. It needed too much force to push the pieces in their places. I, a 30+ year old, had to push/squeeze hard to get the pieces in. I did enjoy it though, and i think anyone who enjoys DIY and handcrafts would enjoy it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but requires patience to assemble
*by T***2 on 26 October 2021*

I think the age rating of 8+ is optimistic, I imagine a lot of 8 year olds would struggle to assemble this on their own. I helped assemble this with a 11 year old and we enjoyed it and the finished item was satisfying and worked correctly. But many of the parts are hard to assemble, and will require a lot of perseverance, and breaking one piece could be the end of it. So I would recommend it for 8+ where there is an adult to help when needed. But some adults might enjoy this as a gift also.
