However, many guests have reported issues with the motor and ball ejection mechanism, leading to frequent malfunctions. While it can keep children entertained for short periods, the reliability of the toy is a concern, as it often stops working after minimal use.

    Love the idea of this toy but our 1 year old is always putting the wrong ball or another toy into the whale’s spout. It is easy enough to take apart and remove the item but it is frustrating how many other items jam-up the toy.

    The toy does not work properly and it’s huge (which would be fine, if it worked) I wish I could add the video of the balls going everywhere but where they’re suppose to. Instead I just took still shots of the video.

    Hi Review - We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the B. toys Poppity Whale Pop. Did you know that you can adjust the tube that collects the balls, so that they more accurately go into it? We realize not every toy will be a winner with every family. Perhaps there are other toys in the B. toys line that you and your little one would like better. There are so many fun and educational toys to choose from! Sincerely, Team Battat

    If you love chasing balls and trying to unjam ball from motors this is the toy for you! Half the time the balls are stuck and it won’t shoot any, the other half of the time it shoots at different speeds and the balls either don’t make it to the other side or they slam so hard they bounce out.

    I bought this for my one year old son and the age for this toy is 9 months + and he had the whole ball in his mouth and it' scared me so bad! Please be careful! I wish they made the balls bigger so they are safer for babies who love to put toys in their mouth.

    My 16 month old twins love this toy. I'm currently looking for more balls as they love holding 2 balls each leaving only 1 to shoot out. The wheels shoot the balls out quite efficiently, but not hard enough to hurt if the babies get hit in the face. I love the fact you can turn the spout as well. Such a great toy!

    This toy was great until we lost the balls. They don't sell replacements and the ones of similar size get stuck. I would not recommend buying unless you know you're not gonna lose or break any balls.

    My baby got this for christmas and straight out of the box the motor was broken. It doesn’t lift any of the balls and only turns on for about 4 seconds. I bought this back in early november so the return window closed. Do not buy.

    Cute while it lasted. Which was about 48 hours. The lights and sound still work, but the motor that pops the balls out just doesn’t have enough power to function. We tried replacing batteries and charging with usb. Neither have had any effect. Too bad.
