Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've owned several of these machines, taken them apart to clean and even repaired one that the previous owner had over-torqued the coin mechanism (a bent piece of metal was tweaked to its correct position and all was good again). They are reliable, functional and create a spot of nostalgia that a candy dish can't hope to achieve. The base is cast metal, the coin mechanism is metal, it's a heavy unit for its size. I have never had a globe break. They have soft plastic gaskets at the top and the bottom of the globe to allow enough "give" to tighten properly. I use a quarter to screw and unscrew the top nut, finger tight only. I think the petite size is perfect for a desk; fill it with M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, Jelly Bellies or small hard candies and you have a sanitary means of dispensing treats. The coin mechanism does accept any coin: penny, nickel, dime or quarter. It drops below for you to retrieve without opening or contaminating the candy section. They make a fun gift. Purchasing note: I have not purchased a gumball machine from Amazon; mine were rescued from second hand shops for as little as $3.00, cleaned and given a new life with a friend.
