## Description

Product Description Van Manen 571897 – Farm/Windmill 1:87 Electric 29 cm Safety Warning Not suitable for children under 3 years of age.

Review: One happy little boy - My little wind turbine obsessed 4 year old loved this on his birthday it’s a little noisy but a great size and is great quality, he loves it so much I’m having to buy more 🙂
Review: Bit noisy, but has the approval of a 9 year old - Living close to a 26 turbine wind farm our son is fascinated by then, and his birthday list included "a toy wind turbine that you can switch on and it turns the blades". This seemed to fit the bill so ordered it It arrived well packaged with batteries and worked fine. Has had almost daily use and only needed to replace batteries about 6 weeks later. It's quite noisy in operation, but not to the point of being annoying, at least you know it's on!! It's solid and made a 9 year old very happy :-)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the diameter of the blades?  What is the height of the product from the base to the tip of the wind turbine blade?**
A: Blades are 3 inches long. With a blade straight up height is just under 12 inches tall. Just an FYI the gearbox is a little loud, so if you want a quiet one look for a different one.

**Q: does it rotate fast like a fan or slow like real windmills?**
A: Much slower than a fan and quiet. Purchased for my autistic granddaughter who loves the windmill farms. She will watch as long as the battery lasts! Well worth the $$$ to see her light up.

**Q: how long is its battery life? need to use this for a project and was wondering how many shifts i have to take to change out the batteries**
A: I haven’t changed the battery since I purchase the item. They seem to last a long time . Hope this helps

**Q: How fast does this spin? Is there only one speed? How many rotations per second?**
A: Not very fast at all and very fragile...but my autistic granddaughter loves it and will watch for hours! Perfect for what I wanted.....

Serves a good purpose and is a nice toy for kids to play with or even as a novelty desk item. However the noise from the motor can be a but much.
