 Everyone needs one of these!! November 23, 2009
A. Costa (Bronx, NY)
I bought this toy for my daughter last year for Christmas. She has been having a "ball" with it ever since (pun completely intended). When I was going through her toys to discard and make room for this Christmas I passed this one over with a knowing smile, my little girl would be devestated if I gave it away. Every child that comes over to play has a blast with this toy. It encourages the children to play together and work together to get all the popping balls back in the machine. It also helps to keep them active and I am certainly a fan of anything that tuckers her out for a nap. It also helped Lucy to learn her colors, "Get Mommy the pink ball, Press the red button" and seems to be a hit for all ages. I am online right now to order one for my nephew for Christmas because he loves it so much! And yes, I will admit, even I have a great time playing with this one.
LOVE THIS TOY!!! November 17, 2009

I have seen the other negative reviews on this toy. I read them because I could not imagine anyone saying anything bad about it! My son absolutely loves this toy. We got it for him about 6 weeks ago. Yes it is VERY LOUD (both music and fan), in fact much louder than all of his other toys. I've gotten used to it though and don't mind. At first, the loud music did seem to scare him but after a few days of hs older siblings playing with it, he seemed to get the idea and figured out how to push the plunger himself. Now he pushes it all the time. The balls do go flying (how anyone coudl say the fan isn't strong enough, I don't know) sometimes, and sometimes he chases them and sometimes I have to dig them out of places. Once again, that's ok since the whole idea is for his enjoyment and development. And it gives me a little added exercise. He has tried to stick other toys down the hole but, anticipating that he'd do this, I'm really careful about which toys I leave out for him when he's playing with this so that he's can't get anything too stuck. So most of the other toys he has have pieces too big to really fit far down the hole and I can just pull them out. I must have the newer model with the cover because we have not had any "danger" issues with him getting stuck or even trying to get his arm stuck. He is also always supervised when playing with things like this. Bottom line is my son loves it and so do I! If you want tons of fun and laughter with your baby I highly recommend this toy!
A must buy! November 15, 2009

My one year old received this toy for his first birthday. He loves it! He can play with it alone, or we can play together. He could press the button to start the popping by himself afer only one or two play sessions. It has improved his manual dexterity but most of all it's just fun!
Ball Popper Fun November 13, 2009
Elizabeth Mycko (Virginia, U.S. of A.)
We bought this toy for my one-year old for his birthday, and he loves it. He quickly learned how to push down the red plunger to make the balls pop, and laughs hysterically when they do. He also thinks that the music is great dance music!
Caveats: This toy is not very stable; if a child tries to balance on it, or pull themselves up on it, it will immediately fall over. Luckily, it's light, but it startles the child... Also, the toy is designed to run unimpeded; the slightest interference (or sometimes none at all), and the balls don't fall neatly back into the tray to go down the runway to pop up again, they fly all over the room. Again, more hilarity for the child, and this can be viewed as a positive if you would like to get your exercise from retrieving balls... And my kid keeps trying to put the balls back down the center hole, instead of the side one where they're designed to go. Of course, he also tries to put blocks, smaller balls, and whatever else he can find down there, too...luckily, a quick upside-down shake expells all foreign objects.
All in all, I would recommend this product. My child thinks it's hilarious, and I don't usually mind retrieving the balls. Usually.
Lots of fun times! November 11, 2009

Our son enjoys this toy a lot. He chases the balls all around and often laughs and squeels. The balls do fly around quite a bit, so if you have it out on the floor, be prepared for you and your little one to chase away! Tons of fun! (but they do remain in a play pen if you use one) He has enjoyed this toy from about 8 months and up, just remember, you will have to help them chase the balls if they cannot walk yet)
The only reason I rated it 3 for durable is b/c the batteries don't last long enough,(even name brand batteries) and w/out almost fully charged batteries, sometimes the air pressure is not enough to push the balls all the way out of the top. And, sometimes, if your child cannot find a ball, (it comes with 4) then only 3 balls have a hard time getting out also. It would be great if Playskool would offer a couple extra balls in the set.
GREAT toy though! Hours of fun for sure! Just keep extra batteries handy.
