Toys and Games Reviews of OWI 6-in-1 Educational Solar Kit
Customer Review: WARNING! BAD
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product hoping to use it for a science fair project. All the reviews and the descriptions made it sound like it would be great fun and easy to set up. WRONG! First when it came, i tried putting it together. All the pieces come together on 2 slates of plastic parts, so you need to seperate the parts. When you take off the parts, there are 2 little stubs of plastic (from where you ripped it off) sticking out, and in order to make the wheels turn, i had to file the wheels down with a nail file. I was planning on building the car, and i became so frustrated because although the description may not sound like it, it was extremely diffucult to wire up. the wires were sooo small and you have to keep on taking it apart over and over until it is perfect. It took me about an hour and a half just to make the car, which is also extremely insanely small----:-(----,so you will need tiny hands. Then once you get the car set up, you need to hold it under a lightbulb about an inch and a half away for it work. MAJOR FAILURE. you need to carry the lamp about an inch away from the car at all times, and it doesnt work under fluorescent lightbulbs either. I tried making it pull a ping pong ball, and the motor is so weak it didnt move. Bottom Line is, although it may seem like it is cool, and it looks good, and the description and other reviews make it sound "Fun and Educational", just dont bother. Their are so many other kits that are probably far more easy to build and use. Hope this helps :-) !
