2.0 out of 5 stars It wasn't what we expected, December 12, 2006

Our 7 yr old daughter was given this last Christmas. It is awkward to use and the motor didn't seem to have the power needed to turn the wheel when the clay was on it. She ended up using the clay and molding it by free hand. It now sits in the corner of her activity table and isn't used at all.

We were so excited to get this for Christmas. We opened it up, put it together and low and behold it was pure and utter frustration for all of us. There isn't enough power to turn the wheel. The attachments don't work. The clay will not stay on the wheel. We finally gave up. We will be sending it back to the manufacturer with a letter. DO NOT BUY!

I opened it up and sat my son down to get creative and nothing worked. The on button on the foot petal was stuck on so you couldnt turn it off without unplugging it. The motor power bogs down so much it hardly moves just by lightly touching your finger on it. And none of the tools are strong enough to actually create anything but a blob. I am not happy and this is going back to the store on monday. Maybe I will find a better one out there to replace it with. He was really looking forward to this and so was I. This toy is a huge dissappointment.
