Electronic Lab 130-in-one Project Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this for our daughter (8 yrs) and she loves it. It does a good job of explaining electronic concepts and allows for varying levels of experience to enjoy the projects. Everything you'll need is included and the experiments are flexible, progressive and "really cool".

130-in-One Electronic Playground (MX906 Replaced by EP130 or EP-130) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I took a couple electronics classes in high school but have since forgotten much of what I learned. I figured this product would help me recall what I forgot and hopefully learn a lot more. Unfortunately I discovered this is much less a learning tool and much more of a small repetitive circuit builder. It simply tells you how to wire a circuit so that it will make a noise or light up in some way not really telling you what reaction anything has to anything else. Also, in the introduction it explains that you will not really learn much without a multimeter which of course must be provided by you. Some of the projects are kind of neat but I don't know what I'm supposed to be learning.
If you know a little more about electronics this could be fun and much more helpful in understanding circuits but apparently I forgot more than I thought. Try it if you like.

Elenco AM-780K 2 IC AM Radio Kit - (requires assembly) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this radio for my son for Christmas. It only took him a week .It was easy to build and it worked when it was done. This was not his first electronic kit but it was easy to build and soldering was not too difficult. There were some mistakes on the board but I still plan on buying him the AM/FM radio next

Elenco AmeriKit Learn to Solder Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm 17 and I wanted to learn how to solder printed circuit boards. This is a great product that has (almost) everything you need to get started. The soldering iron melted the solder quickly, even though the solder was lead free. The instruction manual teaches you not just about soldering, but about the components in the kit. It teaches almost like a class, complete with detailed instructions and even quizzes you on what you have learned. In the end, the device you make is pretty useless, but here, its all about the journey not the destination.
I do have a few cons however. There is nothing included to clean the soldering tip like a small piece of sponge. I also could not get the soldering wick to work, so I would recommend also ordering a desoldering pump as well. also, it can be a bit tricky to solder without some kind of helping hand device. However, for less than $15, this is still a great bargain.
The value of this kit is great, however I'm sure that people would be willing to pay a bit more if it included something to clean the soldering tip and possibly a desoldering pump, however, with the value of this kit, adding those items to your order should be no problem.
All in all, I greatly recommend this product to anyone trying to dive into the world of electronics.
