JOYIN Claw Machine Arcade Toy with LED Light & Adjustable Sound, Rechargable Dispenser Toys Mini Vending Machine for Kids - Perfect Christmas & Birthday Big Gifts for Kids, Ages 3+

I bought this for xmas for my kids and it's sure to be a crowd pleaser. It's easy to set up and use and comes with coins to make it start. It comes with the option of batteries or a USB cable. It's one of the more gender neutral claw machines I've come across. You can use it with or without the music (with music is obviously more fun), beware that the music is LOUD tho. I got it on sale so the price wasn't terrible. My biggest complaint is I wish it came with toys! I did not realize it was toyless when I ordered it or I might have looked for a different one. Luckily I pulled it out of the box to make sure everything worked properly before I put it away till Xmas and saw there weren't any prizes to win so I had time to order in toys for it.

We ended up buying two different companies' claw machines and this is the one that consistently works well. It's easy for kids to use and we come up with ideas to keep it fun - for example, filling only some plastic Easter eggs with candy or coins, and then the kids have fun seeing if the egg they got was a "winner".

Little cheesy, can't really pick anything up with it, comes with fake coins...takes a type charger to plug in...kinda a waste of money, I gave it a 4 because it's a cute concept if it worked!

I bought this claw machine as a gift for a 10 year old. I tested it before I gave it to him to be sure it worked and would pick up the toys I'd bought for it. It worked ok. The claw was weak and I had to change out some of the toys but the machine was acceptable. I liked that you could use it with or without music and that it worked with either batteries or by USB plug.. . Except that when I purchased D batteries and put the batteries in it - no luck. Nothing. Ok, fine, USB cable it was. Except that it only worked twice with the USB cable before it broke, when you'd put the coins it it would glitch on and then off immediately. I tried different plugs, different usb power adapter blocks (of course it didn’t come with its own) Unfortunately this only happened when my 10 year old nephew opened it and tried it for the 1st time. He was so disappointed and so was I. Over $40 for a piece of junk. Returned and bought a different brand.

I’m so glad they made this for younger ages! I bought each of my grandkids the claw for 8 years and up and one of these for my 3 year old for Christmas. They all absolutely loved it! Out of all the gifts they got this was their favorite! This one makes it easier for the little ones and I was shocked when he was able to get a toy on only his second try. He was so excited and 3 months later my daughter said he still plays with it every day!The best part is it’s rechargeable! (USB cable is included) The ones for the older kids takes D size batteries which are costly, so this one pays for itselfJust to note: I opened each one first to test them to make sure they worked and none of them will work or even play the music unless you unwrap the claw first which is in a plastic bag and taped to the frame but is easy enough to replace it until they open their gift. I also filled them with toys so they would be all ready to play with but don’t add too many so it’s easier for the claw to move around.I hope this was helpful.

It was a hit on the first day but that was it the kids didn't play with it anymore after that. So it wasn't worth it to me.

The kids love this. They fill it over and over again, and love catching the small toys they put in.I am glad that we bought it. It is well used and is holding up since Christmas, with no problems. The kids (ages 7, 6, 4) are able to use it with no help. They are able to refill the toy bin, and retrieve the coins by themselves.

My dad (94 yrs) is a huge fan, and frequent winner of the regular arcade machine. With power out in the city, he was not able to go to the arcade and play. I surprised him with an Amazon delivery of this smaller model of his favorite game. It can run off of batteries, so electricity was not an issue. He was able to put his smaller winnings from his regular play in this product and continue to have fun, and stay entertained during a very stressful time.He could not find the volume control at first, but once he did, it was not a problem. I also showed him that he can charge with a USB cable to save his batteries. He liked that option.Pictured are his winnings from a regular sized arcade game, that fit into this product. It did come with a few toys to grab as well.
