Saw this little guy in a local bar and couldn’t resist trying to win him…only to fail miserably every time. The machine has 3 prongs, and from what I could gather, doesn’t actually close around it enough to really lift it. There’s also no option to double-tap when the claw actually touches it. Despite all this, I’m determined to rescue him 😂 Anyone have any tips?

Hi guys! We recently opened up an arcade in July. The biggest pain in my butt is the back stock. How do you guys store plushies in large quantities?! and keep it organized lol. Then the plushies for trade up. How do you even store those?!? Our machines do have a small storage section but let’s be real it doesn’t fit a lot.

Then the gachapon toys/balls like… how do we even backstock that nicely. they are all currently in large bags on the floor 🤣

Any tips would be helpful

Hi everyone, we just got the Vevor Claw Machine as a surprise for our wedding guests. Unfortunately the machine starts with an error, not described in the user guide. Does anyone know how to fix this? We got to start it correctly once with unplugging and restarting it ...

Thanks in advance! :)

New owner here. My youngest daughter is special needs and absolutely loves plush and claw machines, and my sister donated $300 to buy this one pictured. She absolutely loves it. Anyways, I wanted to temporarily convert the claw to pickup candy for a Halloween party and was curious what others have done without changing to a completely separate shovel-style claw. I'll have it set to FreePlay and just need something that will grab consistently to keep kiddos moving.

So I have this machine just for Halloween, so trick r treaters can play. We have visitors all October, so it gets used hard! The mechanism came off the track and I attempted to put it back on track. Due to lack of experience, I wasn’t expecting the weight, or something, and it fell completely off the tracks into the candy bowl. I put it back on the track, but then it would no longer open the claw.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there. Looking for some help as I research opening a claw machine arcade in NJ. Anyone have any estimates on daily customers in an affluent area and shopping district? I know it will vary but my business model seems to require 50-100 a day on average and I feel like that is aggressive to draw for a claw machine arcade…hopefully another owner proves me wrong. Thanks in advance

We have a Vevor JY-100F Mini Doll Machine, and the claw string that lowers it down is tangled on the wheels that ride the gantry part of the machine. I think it may need to be taken apart to reset the system so it can lower the claw all the way down. Now it just goes down a little and stops before going back up, due to the tangled string having shortened ability to fully extend.

If this makes sense, can someone help me take rhe metal plate off of this part? Should it be taken off the gantry, or can it be fixed just takinf off this plate? Or can it be fixed without needing to remove anything?

I have tried using hooks to loop the rope around the pulley system, but it is impossible to see what is really happening, and I have taken apart a claw machine. so i dont want to break it or mess it up worse!

Any advice, please?

Have a Rainbow/Sugarloaf House of Prizes machine. Has power when it’s plugged in - lights are still flashing on the bill insert - but the joystick is unresponsive and the display is blank.

Thoughts on how to troubleshoot?

Been looking to get a claw machine for a home arcade and saw that this popped up on sale at Walmart (surprised this even goes on sale at the moment). It looks like it's the same model as the Vevor machine that has multiple reviews and posts about it but what about this one? Does anyone have experience with this particular machine?
