Defective parts rendered it pretty much useless for what I paid.

It was frustrating ordering this for a school project only to find out later that the buzzer, some lightbulbs and a few other parts were faulty and didn't work at all. I wouldn't buy this again.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Hard to say

Mechanical box containing three anti-static bags. Things can be organized, things need to be organized for electronics starter kit. In any case, you quickly rummage around in the jumble of parts in the box. But at least all the details I've tried so far actually worked.

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Long Wait

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • May damage
