Great fun!!
Definitely search for this at a retail store you’ll pay between $[...]. It took me a couple weeks to locate one, however. The unit is very sturdy and not that messy, though it is clearly only an outdoor toy. Don’t kid yourself that it can be managed inside! The spray bottle only rests in a depression, it can be picked up and is very easy to refill. It has a rounded shape which makes it very easy to turn and tilt in the depression in order to direct your spray from any angle. There are hot and cold water reservoirs with lids which hold approximately 5-6 oz. each. A removable small basin catches the spray water drips beneath the cars. When you have changed your car color, a lever may be pulled which raises the car and makes it slide down the curvy drive. A spring arm thrusts the car at the end of the ramp away from the base unit. The swing arm must be manually reset for each car-no biggie. My boys love the play value of this unit and it adds tremendously to the enjoyment of the color changing cars. The cars change color very quickly and easily. We have found it works best with just warm tap water, but then ice water. Cars can be dipped in the water reservoirs to make them half and half, or dipped in the water whose temperature will quickly reset the color to be changed again. Two thumbs WAY up!!! The color changing cars can also be found in retail stores for about $[...]-I got most of mine at Walmart (as a two pack; 1 color changer, 1 regular hot wheels car) for $[...]. I haven’t seen the two-packs offered anywhere but Walmart.
Great for the water-lover
My 4 yr old son loves to spray anything, so this is perfect. It really keeps him occupied and excited.
A few things to keep in mind, though. This is a toy that requires a lot of your attention. The hot water must be hot and the cold, cold. I end up making a lot of trips to the sink for him. You also have to dump the water out of the little catch pan every so often. And you have to dump water out of the entire thing every so often. It catches quite a bit of water, but it will make a wet mess.
The cars seems to wear out after about 30 minutes, and once they sit and get back to room temperature they are fine. So I just bought a few extra cars and keep some up for my son and rotate them. And if the cars aren’t changing colors, you water probsbly needs to be colder (put ice in the spray bottle).
To add something else to it, I gave my son a toothbrush and a paintbrush so he can “paint” the cars too. He likes to make stripes and spots.
Even with the hassel, my son loves it and it is completely worth it. We’ve only had it a week, so I can’t comment on the durability. Some small parts that with really rough treatment, they will probably break.
Highly recommended if you kid loves cars, water or just loves to see how things work! And it is not too expensive either (it was cheaper at Target).
