Customer Reviews for Start-Up Circuits

We gave this gift to our grandson for his 2 year birthday. He loves anything with buttons to push that creates an effect. There are three bases and three add ons to choose from. The top pieces are a fan, a whistle/noisemaker, and a light. The fan was disappointing as it didn't produce much air, but the other two worked fine. Having just turned two, it is a bit difficult for my grandson to line up the lines of the top and bottom pieces in order to place the tops on the bases. I'm sure this will get much easier in the next few months as he gains a bit more dexterity. Overall, this is a good toy for the 2-4 age group.

Grand daughter loved it for about an hour, then lost interest.

I picked up Start up Circuits as i was looking for a new educational toy for my daughter. Box contains 6 colorful plastic parts and an instruction sheet under holder. The 3 action tops are the parts that either light up, spin while make a whistling sound, and a mini fan. The 3 switch parts contain the batteries and have switches that click in, slide, or flip type. The action tops and switch parts can be mixed and matched. My daughters favorite was the combination of the spin/whistle (orange part) and the click switch. Great toy for building motor skills and learning how circuits work!

I ordered this toy for my great nephew. His mom says he loves it. Light On is his super power device - he's big on Siderman. I thought the fan would be handy - mixed feelings about the siren, but it could be useful. I also sent an Eneloops battery kit to his mom. Has 6 AA which supplies the toy and 6 AAA for remotes and such for mom and the charger.

My 2 year old (25 months) received this for Christmas. He loves the toy, but the “siren” doesn’t really work properly. It spins, but has only made a sound twice in all the times it has been turned on.

My 19 month old Grandson loved these, the lights, the sound and the discovery of what they do.

I had to laugh at the reviewer who complained that the siren didn't work. They don't know how luck they are. That is why I am writing a review....the siren is the most awful sound and we finally had to hide it. It is extremely loud and annoying. The fan is not strong enough to blow a feather off your hand. The flashlight is the only awesome thing in the box. Not worth the purchase.

It is a great idea and my grandson would have loved it, but the bases only partially worked occasionally. Also, the fan blades seem to be on upside-down??, because they didn’t give off much of a breeze when they did work. Unfortunately, now I have to wait until this product is “in stock” again in order to get a replacement…

Not functioning. While my grandson was very excited with the switches and concept the toy appears to be of poor quality. The light did not work and the whistle is barely functioning. We are both disappointed.

My 2 1/2 year old grandson loves it. He even figured out that he's supposed to line up the red lines. It's a toy he plays with every time he comes over.

Bought this product for my granddaughter (18 months). Very interesting! She is intrigued by the sounds and effects. It will be interesting as she gets older her progression with this product. Great products/ Shape for little hands to hold but great quality product.

My grandson plays for hours with his start up circuits. He thinks they are really cool and allows him to play and learn at the same time.
