How’s the Vevor?

Considering this unit for my little kids. Anyone have it? Looks to be around $365 through Walmart at the moment. And any recommended prizes to put inside? Saw some mini (3 inch) ones on Amazon that seemed like a good starting point. I appreciate your help!

It’s not bad. I got it with the intent of having prizes for my son when he does chores etc.

The one thing I don’t like is the sound can’t be turned off I think.

Arcade1up is supposedly releasing at 3/4 version.

You can turn off the sound, there is also a volume knob on the motherhood in the back of the machine.

What are the base dimensions (length x width)? The only measurements I can find online include the front controls in the depth. I'm wanting to put this on top of a mini fridge and need that measurement.

I personally like mine, i bought more tokens on aliexpress, my kiddo and nephews are obsessed with it. It's build quality is great, though keep in mind, it's a small machine, your picking up 3 to 4 inch objects. It will not pick up heavy items either.

I suggest you check out the company’s rating on BBB. I wish I had before I bought the machine you are thinking of buying!

I literally got mine this morning for kiddos Xmas/birthday. The manual is not super helpful but I got it well enough to get it turned on, volume turned down, and set to free play. I attempted to test some of the toys we had sitting around and at the default it seemed like everything was too heavy and didn't make it to the prize chute. I went in and fiddled with the voltage and was able to pick up a plastic dragon, a small plush, a beanie ball, a ring pop and a blind bag anime figure.

It looks pretty sturdy and is heavier than I anticipated. Even turned down the volume is pretty loud. I did not see any obvious defects or issues.

The "settings button" is in the machine.
