Review on WayinTop Electronics Component Fun Kit: The Ultimate Starter Kit with Breadboard, Jumper Wires, Soldering Kit, LEDs, and Resistors for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and ESP8266 – Upgraded version with E-Book by Eric Wohlman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap components for beginners

This kit packs many essential components at a low price but noticeably lacks quality. Some examples: Some sweaters have moldings hanging from the ends, so you'll have to cut them off or they'll get in the way. The bars are also quite flimsy, so flimsy that my cat chewed them in half with one bite. The terminals on the breadboard are often difficult to connect. Some are loose and your wires will accidentally slip out, others are very stiff and you need a lot of effort to snap them into place (sometimes bending your component). - Resistors are poorly labeled and the interleaving system used to determine ohms is not a typical system. Those issues aside, it works well and I like the little box it comes in to keep everything together. The complexity of the breadboard is really annoying, that's why I only give it 3 stars.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for seniors
