“My 8-1/2 yo grandson says, "It is cool, I like how it floats in the air and I can walk through the big string!". As his grandma, I'm happy that even though his Christmas gift stopped functioning after one day, that when my husband emailed customer service about the problem they quickly responded and after trying a few of their recommendations to no avail, they immediately sent a replacement ZipString. I'd buy another ZipString and can recommend this company who stands behind their product with great customer support and an honest warranty.”
“This device feels like magic the first time you play with it. It takes a plane wire loop and makes it stand like a solid wire in the air with all those wave options you can master almost instantly. Fun toy and a great demonstration to others. There main limitation is that it becomes quite boring once you get the trick. You thus buy it, enjoy it and then don't use it anymore. I can imagine how some people of all age can make it a special sporty-dance toy like the hula hoop, but for most of us, it has a short lifetime of interest.”
“We got this as a gift for an 8 year old not knowing what to expect. Looked cool from the pictures but didnt think it would work that great. We were wrong. It shoots that string out in a constant loop defying gravity entertaining everyone. He shows it off, you can do some little tricks, it was definitely a good present. It does say it comes with 3 different size strings and shows 3 colors. We only got 2 green strings. So that is why it only gets 4 stars.”
“I saw this on Shark Tank and they made it look so fun, but after about 2 minutes it get old real fast, and it tangles very easily, so I gave it away.”
“Bought two of these for grandkids Chris stockings. They were a huge hit! They were easy to set up and get going and seem to be very sturdy. Kids (6 and 8) had an awesome time experimenting with these. Highly recommended!”
“Bought it as a Christmas gift. Stopped working 15 minutes after taking it out of the box. No return eligible because I bought it too far in advance. So much for customer service.”
“It's a fun novelty toy that only lasts for about 2 days worth of play by a 10 year old. He got this for Christmas on 12/25 and two days later the 2 strings it came with had already snarled, worn apart, and broke. Cheap engineering on the string. Not worth the money. Maybe if the item was $5 at a dollars store.”
