This machine doesn’t have nearly the amount of functions I was expecting! How can I calculate vectors when there aren’t even trig functions!
This is the reason American children can’t compete on a global marketplace. This “tool” of education is more of a tool for procrastination for the American public. L’Hopital would turn in his grave! Newton would have an aneurysm!
Such simplistic mathematics is best left to those whom the toy’s description excludes – three year olds and below.
For just a slight amount more, you could get an old yet durable graphing utility which would increase the amount you could teach your child by a factor of 10!
In conclusion, there isn’t enough here to warrant a buy. If I can’t calculate a vector with it, it’s rubbish.

Daughter loves to play this and it is helping her with multiplication and division.
Only negative about this purchase is the shipper DHL is horrible. They are very unreliable, always takes 3 or 4 phone calls to them to get item ordered delivered and items are never delived in a timely manner.
Product is good though.

I had an electronic owl/calcultor about 30 years ago that I liked better than this. I was hoping it would be interesting enough to my kids they’d want to play it, but nope, to predictable. It’s not fun for them. It does have many functions, but it’s too boring in it’s games.

I believe that this item is overpriced for what you get. There are better educational tooling for children out there.

This toy might be good if we still lived in 1980. I didn’t expect but so much, but I expected more than I got. My niece won’t even play with it because she doesn’t understand it or either she just doesn’t enjoy it. Don’t waste your money.
