Tornado Maker Apr 02, 2008
By Judy E. Baggett
A really interesting toy. Very hard to always make a tornado without adjusting. Doesn't really do much unless it is on the fastest setting. Four year old for whom it was bought thinks it is super but gets a bit fustrated when it doesn't make the funnel and a grownup has to mess with it to get it to work.

 tornado maker Jan 21, 2009
By APRIL D GRANT
This toy has been a lot of fun for my boys. They are 7 and 5 years old and have always been facinated with tornados and storms. The only thing I have noticed is that is doesn't keep their attention for too long. I dont know if it is their age or that they have many other toys taking their attention. Overall it is something I'm glad I purchased because it is neat and educational. It is much different from everything else they have and even my husband, my 4 year old daughter and myself enjoy it.

 Doesn't work Dec 28, 2009
By PayOrPlay
We had a similar experience to that of the user above. This toy is essentially a modified blender with a plastic blade that is designed to create a funnel instead of mixing. It was defective right out of the box: with fresh batteries, the sound effects worked but the rotor would not turn at all--in our case, the motor did not seem to be functional. So, no tornado. The vendor we bought it from has informed us that it has been discontinued, and ultimately just gave us a refund.

 Fun and Educational Toy Feb 06, 2011
By Tamara S Leonard
I do not know why this product did not get good reviews because of it not working, ours works fine! This is a fun and educational toy. It even comes with 3 small foam circles with pictures on them for you to throw in the top of the tornado so you can see what happens. My son wanted one of these after seeing something similar at a local science center. The twister forms at the top of the water & swirls all the way to the bottom. It looks really cool.

Did not work, asked for replacement Aug 18, 2010
By hypermom
It was my son's 10th birthday this August and I did read the reviews before purchasing, so I guess I get what a deserve..... My son wanted this along with a Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver - which was great!.. These were the only two things that he asked for and this low speed blender that made noise did not work.... Thank goodness I purchased him a few other things: the Dalek Clock - LOVED IT and the DK book about scientist - great...... I returned item and asked for replacement, still waiting for replacement because my son really wanted item.... MY ADVISE - Do Not Waste Your Money!!!! If you are anything like me and your child really wants it, you will probauly purchase it too and be as disappointed as we were, I warned you...... UPDATE: Received the replacement and it works... My son just loves it... However, the dial seems very flimzy, I do not know how long it will last. Makes a nice funnel but the novelty will wear off fast.....
