I'm looking for a nice plastic gum ball machine to use at school. It will have mancala stones in it with high frequency words. Is this the best one?

It may be a little small but if the stones are the same size as the bum balls used then you should be fine!Great classroom manipulative.

I charge 5 cents and/or 25 cents for 1 piece and get a lot of business. Easy enough to load. I think it's perfect for 3-10 y.o.'s. It's for bubble gum. I can't say anything bad about it. I got the refill box and (don't pay for the gum for me!) Hence, I really like this bubble gum machine! Best to you and yours.

I honestly don't think this would be the best one. That's just my opinion. The mancala stones need to be really small to actually work; they need to be the size of miniature gum balls.

ditto! We've had ours since our 7 yr old was 1yr. We recently got it out for our 1yr old but have just 3 balls.. & he loves it. Maybe check the Playskool website. I was hoping i could just order extras on Amazon but i do not see them listed.

I think that leapfrog has discontinued their line of magnetic toys - I know the "Fridge Phonics" one is also listed for $100+. Totally insane that anyone would charge that (or that anyone would pay it). I'd check craigslist or eBay for a used one.

Not too sure what type of plastic it is made of, but it does not really work. If you grind, it will not stay in place. Try another type that molds to your teeth. I have one from Dentek I really like.

The machine is heavy duty and will do a large group. My daughter borrowed it and used it for her kindergarten students and many others in the school.

No. You can get the gumballs separately or use other candy. I used the double bouble gum balls. I bought 2 jars and only needed one. Great machine. 5 stars. Kids and their friends love it!!!

I used something like ticky tackey It looks like gum. Teachers use it for posters.

Not as it is now. It is a stand on counter bubble gum machine only. But I would contact the manufacturer and see if they have one on a stand.

It's nice, the one at Toys R Us is better for about the same price. My kids have had hours of fun making them.

Depending on how full you want it? I would suggest 2 bags of 100 balls! Gives it the perfect fullness!

Yeah the old plasticky toys is a good analogy.I also think it reminds me of the fake decking "wood"Keeps tortillas and other items warm for a while. I like it but don't use it too often. great for parties.

The blower is not annoying loud...but it's not quiet. I will say that BY FAR this is my daughters favorite activity. It's REALLY safe...I will caution you that you will need at least 1000 balls for the ball pit for it to be safe for a child to jump, slide or fall into. CAN'T BE THE PRICE FOR THE QUALITY!!!

I prefer the Baden. Our high school uses them for varsity so I thought I would try one. Very nice ball without being "sticky" like some feel. The leather is perfect! My four girls love them.

My 13 year old grand daughter is in charge of the cotton candy & snow cone machines at our pool parties but I see very little waste. She also is in charge of the cleaning 7 restoring it each time. We all love it & have had it quite awhile.

What do you man by model? I will say this is good for kids and adults, it has three different little sticks, one is for the tongue, the other one is a pressure that works really good for braces when they cant floss ,good or for kids that dont like flossing, a dentist recommended me this and this is a great product, no need for batteries this one you just connect it on the wall. Trust me i give this a 10 +++ , what i liked was that when this stop working i called the main company and they sent me a new one and it is still working till today, great customer service, just save your receipt if you buy one!!! for kids i add warm water and less than half cup of scope!

I've used the cheap Macgregor ones. Bought them with the machine over a year ago and they are still going strong. Different balls will come out of the machine differently, you just have to make minor adjustments to the machine. I see no reason to go top of the market for dimple balls for this machine.

I used. It for my daughters class of k-3 kids with learning problems. They really enjoyed it but need adult help. Older kids would have a ball and it would be very educational
