Review on NPW W4083 Hypotrochoid Art Set by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor quality compared to Spirograph

The design and quality of this set doesn't seem as good as some of the Spirograph sets I've used for decades. Opaque gears make it difficult or impossible to see the lines you draw, so it's hard to tell when the full pattern is complete. There's an eyelet on the frame gear that the other versions don't have, and it only seems to get in the way when you're trying to get the gear out of the frame. There are 6 gears included, but there are only 3 different sizes (I love it when you lose something). The ink does not flow very evenly from the included pens and sometimes leaves gaps. Overall I think

Pros
  • Picture
Cons
  • Line is shorter than other picks
