 - This Toy Rocks! So much fun...My kids took to it right away. All kids who come over check it out and enjoy it. And adults want to try it. I think it's great. It's dynamic - meaning there is music and action - so it's not a quiet time toy - but it's exciting and fun and interesting. I just hope we don't lose the balls... Rating:  - A favorite - when it worksThis has, to my suprise, become one of my son's most prized toys. It never ceases to amaze me the random things that will hold a child's attention, but the prospect of placing balls in an opening and watching them roll from one end to another seems to be something that mesmerizes mine. It is truly a thing to behold to watch his enjoyment of this simple toy. Now, here's the problem. As others have mentioned the ball sometimes get stuck and you're forced to clear it out before allowing your child to return to their blissful self-contained fun. Unfortuntely, this undermines one of the great benefits of this toy: that you can just leave your child with it for 20-30 minutes and take care of other things. Instead, you're constantly having to dislodge a ball so that they can continue their playing. Rating:  - good idea - bad designThis toy can be lots of fun, but I would not buy this particular one again. The music is really loud and obnoxious. There is no way to turn the volume down or off. While this is annoying, my biggest complaint is that the design is top heavy. If a child tries to lean or crawl up this popper, as most will, it will fall over, along with the child. I keep this toy out of reach of my 10 month old and only bring it out when I can play with it with him. Rating: - Bad DesignNot the best toy...the balls pop up and fly out of the toy and are lost under furniture. My child is able to stick his entire arm down the tube where the balls come from and get it stuck or stick other things down the tube which lodge in there and stop the toy from working. Rating: - BALLS GET STUCK ALL THE TIMEWhen this toy works properly, my 14 month old son loves it! But it seems the balls get stuck in the tube all the time and never come out or just flout near the exit hole....frustrating my son and me! I don't know if the motor isn't powerful enough or we have a defective toy...but we hardly use anymore because it never works well for more than a minute or so...and when the balls do actually "pop" out they go flying all over the place....not impressed with this toy at all.
