I hate this darn thing - meaning my kid LOVES it!
For the record, I rue the day I purchased this ball popper for all of the reasons my little one loves it.
With the press of a the smiley faced lever thing, she is fascinated by extremely loud carnival sounding music and balls popping out of tube, into the tray (sometimes - or around the room other times) and another ball popping out - rinse and repeat. If you only have 3 of the balls going at once, most of the time, they will pop out of the toy into the tray. If you have more than that, then chances are they are going to be flying around the living room. The balls are a nice size, so no worries about little ones choking on them. The opening of the toy is big enough to fit legos and other things (they will not pop up - they are too heavy). It's also easy to extract the legos from the tube by turning the toy over and yes, my little one likes to put her big legos (and anything else that will fit) in this toy in hopes of seeing it pop up. Thank goodness, nothing else seems to work besides the light balls included.
My only real complain with this toy is it only has one volume - REALLY FREAKING LOUD (which is why it got 4 stars instead of 5). Many of the toys we've purchased have two volume options so you can put it on the lower volume when you are watching TV, trying to think, or just want some peace of mind. This one doesn't have that and it's so loud. Have I mentioned it's loud? We have a lot of noisy toys and only two of them bother me, this one and the Dora microphone.
With that said, my kid really enjoys this and it will keep her occupied for precious minutes at a time. If you can stand the noise - this is definitely a winner.
