Score 9.0/10

+ You have to work for a sweet and sometimes it takes time.

- You can cheat by shaking it and getting the sweets out of it.

Score 4.0/10

+ It is fun but only for a short period of time. Good that you got coins to operate it included.

- Claw is not great at picking things up. Very small, finding light enough sweets to put in was difficult, heroes and celebrations are too heavy for the claw !!
Music gets annoying !!

+ Fun and engaging. The music spurs you on to try and achieve and you can't help but get tense as it nears the end. It was an excellent price to be able to give it as a novel way to give someone sweets as a present.

- Unfortunately it is a little too realistic and so almost impossible to actually grab anthing unless it is laid out very deliberately. The design does mean that it is easy to cheat.

+ Its a laugh and anyone can have a go, its best putting in sweets such as gum balls, as they are easier to grab.

- None i can think of?

+ It looks good and the basic idea of it is good.

- It didn't manage to hold onto any of the sweets put into the container - even the mini sweets seemed to heavy for the claws to grip. Probably need to have the larger size to have more success

+ It looks funky

- The music's annoying, it's really slow and it doesn't always recognise when you put a coin in- you sometimes have to repeat it several times for it to register.

+ My son loves this as has the feeling of being at a fairground, also controls his intake of chocolate, down to the fact that he has to win it. And he is saving money at the same time.

- Only thing i can say is the tune can be a bit annoying

+ I bought this for my girlfriend's son, who was over the moon about it. He spent most of Christmas Day and Boxing Day filling it, then emptying it, and then filling it .... you get the picture!

- The music for everyone else - it is intensely annoying and can not be turned off!

- You can cheat and not actually put coins in to make it start. The crane can get tangled if used too quickly.

- No batteries or sweets included. Can't turn music off so becomes annoying after a while.
