perfect gift for my 7 yr old
My 7 yr old loves wind turbines! He was thrilled to recieve this for his birthday. It was easy to assemble. My only gripe is if you're going to charge so much for it, you should include the single rechargeable battery needed to make it work. After spending $40+ for the item, I had to spend another $15 for batteries.

didn't spin as fast as we had hoped
IT came well packaged and was not hard to put together. It didn't work as good as We thought it would. It was for my grandson's birthday. Maybe we just needed more wind. It didn't spin as fast as we had hoped.

Fun and easy for adults and kids!
The media could not be loaded. I am 20 years older than 18. I always enjoy tinkering. I am interested in wind generated power so I got this given I felt it was reasonably affordable. Very easy and forgiving to setup. The piece that houses the battery and motor compartments plug and plays between the trmie one and the car you can construct. Additionally, you will need rechargeable batteries for they are not included. Enjoy!

Nice concept but stand breaks immediately
Great concept for kids to learn about wind power. However, it's too short. They should include a pole extension as it's only about 2.5 feet off the ground. Wind would have to be pretty strong to turn it. Also, the feet/stand that you install it into to stand it upright is made of very thin plastic w a thin tab holding it together. Well it broke immediately, all 3 when wind hit the windmill. I spent 1.5 hr building a new stand out of wood so it now stays up and working. They should have used metal and the design w a thin tab connecting the pole to the feet is a terrible idea. Haven't had a chance yet to check to see if it recharges the battery so I'll have to update this. However, they should have 1) had 2 rechargeable battery slots as there is rarely a toy that requires just 1 AA battery to test the battery in, and 2) should have included 2 rechargeable batteries as they are hard to find to buy. Hardly anybody sells rechargeable batteries anymore. I looked all over and went to a specialty battery shop.Update: cheaply made. It's base is made of plastic, breaks easily. It's too short to catch hardly any wind. Unstable. Son lost interest in it pretty quick. Also, didn't come w rechargeable batteries which was hard to find out in the store!

great gift
got for my boyfriend for a fathers day gift, thought it was absolutely cute and the fact that it charges a battery was even better. (hes an electrical engineer who specializes in wind turbines) he loved it!only downside was the directions seemed to be written backwards? or it wasnt wired correctly lol but he still loves it anyway
