Toys and Games Reviews of PlasmaCar Red
Customer Review: Poor design, almost non funtional
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a professional product designer with over 18 yrs experience. Though this was a gift, this is one of the the WORST TOYS I have seen in years. To the point of a scam! Perhaps it would work better indoors and destroy your floors. It did not work outside. The way it is designed to generate forward motion like a skateboarder uses side to side motion, the wheels are hard plastic and would generate very little forward motion. A push car would be better. In a period of two days the wheels were ground down. This product is so bad I'm looking for what plastics were used so that I can break it down for recycling as the raw materials are worth more than the product it's self. Not sure who were the judges who gave this an award from the Openheim Platinum Toy Award. They should consider finding a new vocation.Customer Review: Way Too Slow!
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish I had known that this car only really moves on a smooth surface. We tried it out on our sidewalk (which isn't too old or too cracked), and it goes unbearably slow. After my 3.5 year old became frustrated at the snail's pace, both my husband and I tried it out - we couldn't get it to go any faster.
We tried it in our house, which is 80% tile, and even on the 12inch tiles it didn't move very fast. The only place we could get it up to a "normal" speed was in our tiny garage. Ironically, that is where this toy now sits, unused...in our garage.
If you have access to a large, *very* smooth floor, than this toy is worth the outrageous price. However, don't plan on using it outside for walks, or else you will end up with a very disappointed child.
Customer Review: Excellant product
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the seventh Plasma Car that we have purchased in the last two years. The grandkids really love to play with them, even the big kids can get into the act with this toy as it is rated for someone up to 225 lbs. They can be used inside as well as outside on concrete or asphalt. the kids have had races, follow the leader and just general all around fun on this car. We have sent it to the kids all over eastern Kansas, one up to Nebraska and the last one to Lima Peru. I recomend the Plasma Car for any age child that like to be active, it is a very durable toy and we have not had any problems with it workmanship. Kids as young as two can use it like a tike trike, pushing themselves with their feet until they learn to operate the steering to make it go on it own.Customer Review: Fun for everone
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading a few reviews, I was skeptical, but I purchased it for my son's 3rd birthday. He loved it, was waiting anxiously while I (mom) put it together for him (it was very simple and quick). He was on it right away and uses it every single day. Even my teenager (14) likes to ride it. And so does my dad (69)-he has parkinsons and his mobility is limited but this gives him the opportunity to do a little exercise with his upper body and he really enjoys it.
I recommend this to anyone! Especially if you have a kid around. It is light enough to carry up or downstairs, as I sometimes have to.
One more thing, I love shopping at Amazon because I always get stuff before their estimated arrival.
Customer Review: Problems with Amazon
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered a blue plasma car for my grandson for Valentine's Day. The blue car arrived in a timely manner, but then three days later I received a red plasma car which I did not order. I returned the red plasma car and to this date have not received a credit. The blue car I ordered was [...] but I was charged [...] I have ordred on line dozens of times and have never had a problem. Needles to say, I will never order from Amazon again and still await credit on my Visa card and today is March 10, 2009. Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated. The car is his favorite toy, I wish I could say the same about Amazon.
