Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This was a gift for my nephew for his 3rd birthday. I thought it would be a super thoughtful gift since the little guy is obsessed with gum and what little kid wouldn’t want their very own gum ball machine! The look on my sister’s (his mother’s) face when he opened it was priceless too. The whole ordeal was fun for about 30 minutes until he was running around pick pocketing and panhandling everyone at the party for loose change and then running back to the machine for another gumball which he would chew for about 10 seconds and promptly swallow so he could have another. He just wouldn’t stop swallowing the gum balls and the threat that he would blow bubbles out of his butt only made him want more. The very next day the gumball machine went missing and hasn’t been seen since. By him anyway. I know exactly where it is. The machine is very well made and quite heavy with a solid metal base. The mechanism works very well and it is a great and very vintage looking. The glass is fairly thick, but would most likely easily shatter if dropped. For the price I really think it is well made! I do not, however, recommend buying one for a gum obsessed 3 year old.
