5/5  Angel21 'I got this for my granddaughter who has autism and she loves it so much'

5/5  Simon75 'I bought this to play with my granddaughter in the garden this summer. It is easy to set up and works well'

3/5  Kaylea 'my 4 year old found it really frustrating to build as the plastic is really lightweight it just keeps falling over.'

3/5  Helenalou 'Brought this for my 2 year old and it's very flimsy, falls apart as soon as it's touched unfortunately'

5/5  Fatty 'Good little toy for the price. A bit fragile & need a level ground but a bit of fun'

3/5  Manerous 'Very flimsy, had to glue the segments together because otherwise it would fall over. Once glued it was a lot better, therefore more fun for myself and my granddaughter. Would recommend once glued'

2/5  Alev87 'Could be more stable as it kept falling over and had to redo countless times'

5/5  Lauren 'We got this toy for my son’s birthday and he’s extremely impressed. Great for the summer. He’s having lots of fun.'

3/5  Dotty 'Found it to be a bit flimsy and easily falls and brakes apart, so I have put it against a wall for my little one to play with.'

1/5  Ivy 'Just falls apart when trying to put together'

3/5  nan 'Nice toy grandson like it. Not very stable easily fall ove'

1/5  Smiley 'I bought for my 4 year old grandson impossible to assemble but the worst bit it would not stand. It is too flimsy and fiddly'

5/5  happymummy 'We've used it outside in the paddling pool and garden amd the kids all loved it. Could also be a bath toy'

5/5  Red86 'Brought this for my daughter who is 6, I thought it might be abit too young for her but even the adults had fun great product but the materials could definitely use rethinking as it kept falling apart if moved slightly as on the flimsy side'

3/5  Leicester 'Not easy to set up. Child has yo play very carefully to make it work. Falls apart very easily'

5/5  Caz 'Glad I bought it grandchild loves playing with water and she loves the colours and different shapes you can make'

4/5  Araminta 'Lots of fun to be had if you have a child that loves water. The only problem is that the pieces don’t stay together securely so keep coming off which is tricky when putting it together and my little one finds it frustrating as well.'

5/5  Shannon 'Bought this for a birthday, it’s been played with everyday she’s able to get her hands on it. Takes a while to figure out building it but other than that great profuct'

5/5  chelsealeex 'Brought this in the summer and my 2 year old loved it - he helped me put it together which was also a lot of fun. He spent hours in the summer playing with this, tipping in water and watching it flow.'

3/5  LPhil 'Would be good if the smaller pieces clipped together a bit more securely. Falls apart really easily.'

3/5  GrannySmith 'Had great fun with this toy. Only downside, it was easy to topple over when built, spent a lot of time putting it back together'

3/5  Dandana 'Grandchildren enjoyed it for about 15 min. Not very stable wouldn’t buy again'

1/5  Dad 'Disappointed - the pieces fit loosely which causes it to collapse if child's hand accidentally touches it whilst pouring water in. It also collapses at the slightest of wind (bearing in mind there wasn't much during the heatwave!)'

2/5  Lesley 'Well colours are great simple to build up but very flimsy. When pouring water in/on it kept falling down and needed to be rebuilt. Not ideal for young children as this caused a lot if tantrums.'

5/5  Mags123 'Love it , lots of fun with the water'

5/5  K 'Brilliant loves to play with this, a great summer toy'

3/5  Bea 'I was excited for my children to purchase this but the bottom supports are not weighted enough so it falls over once a small gust of wind hits still enjoyable enough in the paddling pool'

4/5  London school 'My class loved this, especially our little lad with ASD. It’s really good fun. The plastic it’s made from is sturdy enough and the water wheels clip on and stay in place (adults would be able to get them off to move them.) children were fascinated by it and really enjoyed it. Our only issue was, it kept falling over, but the children didn’t seem to mind and happily put it back together. We did have ours in our water tray which may have made a difference. I think it could do with different “feet” to give it extra stability. We also had a few children playing with it together, so that made a big difference to it’s ability to stay standing!'

1/5  AC 'Very flimsy and fiddly to put together. Designed for younger children but not robust and basically not fit for purpose'

5/5  POV 'Quite flimsy but for the price a great little buy. Both my children (5&7) enjoyed playing with it.'

5/5  Russell1234 'I bought this a few weeks ago, ideal to keep the kids happy, works with the chad valley marble run as part interlock together. Gave my son hours of fun'

1/5  DGoodenough 'I look after several children of varying ages and thought this would be great to have since they love playing with water. Unfortunately when fully built it is extremely fragile and tips over easily, breaking apart into many pieces. Not ideal for outside with the wind or smaller heavy handed children. Even when it was up the children were not that enthused to play more. It went in the bin shortly after. I didn’t want anyone to set about the same frustration regarding the construction.'

3/5  Keekee 'This is a fun water toy for kids but it's so flimsy and hard to get it to stay attached even an adult would struggle nevermind a child, think the only way would be to celotape it together, it's a shame because it would be a great toy otherwise.'

5/5  Lisa1 'Great product, colourful and fun. Perfect for water play in the summer'

4/5  cas1234 'Kids love this and great design'

2/5  Steve 'I bought this for my granddaughters, it's a good concept but one of them knocked it slightly and the whole thing fell to pieces. I don't think it's been made again since then'

5/5  Shazza 'Best thing I bought for the grandkids, they have had lots of fun with this building it any way they want and watching the water run down safe for them to play with just filled a bucket of water for them, hearing them laugh and joining in with them'

5/5  Madgie 'I bought this for my granddaughters birthday she lives it'

3/5  NMcC 'Was extremely flimsy putting together. Make sure you’re willing to build it every time you want to make use of it, as it is something that can’t be lifted, and put somewhere else till the next time. It was however entertaining to watch the water flow through to the bottom'

5/5  jojo 'Great present for my toddler, particularly in the warm weather outdoors!'

5/5  Chanel 'Brought this for their sand and water pit and it’s a brilliant, great for those young one who want to play too!'

5/5  Burzin 'Bought this for my wife who is a childminder. Childrens loved the water slide and learned so much'

3/5  Carhud 'Used in conjunction with paddling pool as water toy. Easy but fiddling to put up and a little flimsy. Worked ok when assembled and fascinating as water runs down.'

4/5  Zee 'Little wobbly but entertained my 3 for more than the 15 minutes stated on the box. Lots of falling over lots of spilt water so definitely an outside (or maybe bath) toy. Simple to use and construct'

3/5  Cha 'It was very flimsy kept falling apart when you build it'

3/5  Nanny 'I bought this for my grandsons, it’s not very sturdy and comes apart easily.'

4/5  JunieB 'I bought this last month for my grandsons 3rd birthday. He loves playing with it on the patio on hot days and in the bath. Its difficult to set up and needs an older person to build it on a flat surface. It is quite robust.'

3/5  PrincessPeach 'Really flimsy when put together and my toddler knocked it over after the second turn. The kids enjoy building it up and down though. Not bad for the money.'

3/5  null 'Too many small pieces to fit together I didnt have the patience and as its flimsy it would keep getting knocked over and need putting back together so I knew children would lose patience quickly too'

5/5  rachie 'Bought for my daughter for the garden to play. She’s too big for sand and water tables but lives a marble run. We bought a couple so she can join it together and create endless fun.'

5/5  Caz17 'I bought this for my granddaughter as she loves playing with water. Great toy she has it in the bath which makes it more fun'

5/5  RACH76 'Brought this for my grandson who absolutely loves it.'

5/5  Glamgrani 'I bought this to entertain our grandchildren when they visit and they have fun with it when the sun shines. Good buy'

4/5  jupjam9 'Bought for a friend's daughter as a 6th birthday present. Went down well. Can't comment on durability or use.'

5/5  Laurashannon 'Awesome fun perfect for wet play or summer fun!'

1/5  ShanX 'I bought this a few weeks ago for my 2 year old son. It was very flimsy'

1/5  Becca 'I do not recommend this toy, it takes ages to put up n falls down very easily even tho the children were over the age of three. Disappointed children and frustrated adults all round.'

4/5  Tiana81 'Fairly happy with this. It can be a bit flimsy especially the highest ends when filled with water, which is frustrating for small children. We have ended up fixing the water tubes onto the fence and it’s now providing hours of fun'

4/5  Sam2128 'Brought this for our nephew for some summer fun'

2/5  Gmcke 'Was useless did not stay up when put together kept falling over'

5/5  blondie123 'Bought for my daughter who loves making her own designs as well as following the ones in the leaflet. Hours of fun in the sun!'

5/5  Geezy 'My daughter loves playing with water so this was a different way for her to explore'

5/5  Great value for money 'Fun'

5/5  Easy to assemble into different layouts 'Fun'

5/5  This is fabulous greater the garden or some of it for the bath unless you have a giant bath! Fab water toy abit complicated to put together so maybe you want dt least start putting it together before the kids are watching over 'Fun'

5/5  Ellen29 'This chad valley water raceway is brilliant ams mesmerising for kids and adults and super colourful! It is a great price and has been used lots already and will be great thoughtout the summer!!'

1/5  Happy 'Still haven't managed to get it to stay up! Grandson was disappointed.'

2/5  Rachel 'This set is fun fir children, however, it does fall apart easily and so can become frustrating! More suitable for older children to use on a table!'

5/5  Gran 'Excellent fun for my 10 year old grandson who has complex needs and who’s condition includes a fascination with water. He is able to pour the water in and watch as it flows down the troughs, turning the wheels as it goes. He loves the sound the water and the wheels make. Easy to build, colourful and is best for outdoors.'

4/5  Fun toy to add to bath time or outside water play 'Fun'

2/5  Lydl 'Took no time at all to assemble but v easy to come apart. Would recommend to anyone'

2/5  Willows 'Nice & colourful but as for putting them together & them sticking together (remember this toy is for children) is NOT very age appropriate & not very stable. Also when the water is being poured in the connection falls apart.'

5/5  sp1987 'Looks great, can't wait to give it my grand daughter for her birthday.'

4/5  Dee 'Great fun for the garden.'

5/5  Julia350 'Our grandson loves bath time with this'

1/5  Klane 'Utter rubbish, doesn’t stay intact when putting it together and when you do manage to it, it falls apart if you look at it or go anywhere near it!'

5/5  Ron 'Little boy loves it. We use it in the bath and the garden.'

4/5  Alison 'If your looking for something simple for kids to build themselves, then this is it, it’s really easy to build together and dismantle and change round. The water moves through it really freely, which is great, very easy to set up, and kids had hours of fun with it. The kids enjoyed the fact that it has spinners on it and they spin fast when the waters flowing through.'

3/5  nao12 'Not the best quality the tubes and holders don't even stay in place without falling over so has to be constructed and played with on a flat services. Cant be put in water or they'll just fall over so the service it's on will get wet not the best for a pool or bath toy, Best used as an outdoor toy. I didn't get all the pieces a couple holders were missing, in the end my son got bored and started building really long tubes and tipping water through it. So it's slightly creative play'

4/5  Sarmonkey 'I originally purchased these tubes for playing outside. They're great with water (yes, sometimes a little fiddly for small fingers, but with a little help they're ok). We set them up in lots of different ways- my little boy enjoyed experimenting to see if the water would still come out even if he did it differently than on the diagram. We also tried the tubes indoors and made small balls out of playdoh- this was endless fun for my 3 year old!'

3/5  LouZee 'This toy is fun to build but doesn’t stay together for long, any slight tap and it collapses. For a child this is probably fun but for an adult that’s spent ages building it, it’s frustrating.'

3/5  Mo 'Good concept and grandchildren we’re excited to play with it but unfortunately construction was flimsy falling apart too easily causing disappointment.'

5/5  alimih 'My nephew loves it. He is been playing with it every day'

5/5  Ang 'Good fun on hot day during lock down'

5/5  Lewthy 'Fun toy my DD loves it. So much fun'

5/5  Mommyoftwo 'I haven’t yet used this but I am sure my niece is going to love it'

5/5  Megi 'Cheap but really nice thing. My childrens love it.'

3/5  Dee 'A lovely idea and my kids have enjoyed it but it is very flimsy and falls apart easily. Our garden is not perfectly level which doesn't help! Overall nice but not sure I'd buy it again.'

5/5  Mumsy2twokiddies 'Good fun and easy to follow instructions showing clear pictures of different set ups. For the price it's good quality. It is sturdy to a certain extent and my kids age 10 and 6 enjoyed making their own combinations too.'

4/5  Kezzamo 'Fun toy, great for hot days keeping the kids entertained. Falls apart a bit, not very sturdy hence 4 stars not 5.'

5/5  Abdul 'Really like it. Perfect for summer my grandchildren loves it. Really happy with product.'

1/5  Mona 'Our little boy loves playing with water, so we bought this water raceway for him. We also got one for his friend. What do we think? Flimsy and falls over easily. Made up of too many small parts that come undone by minimal touch. Awful.'

4/5  AMELIA 'Great value for hours of water fun! Box is larger than I expected.'

5/5  Oldmanlea 'Kids loved it, I loved it, great fun'

4/5  Wings 'Great toy for the kids to play with in the garden. Good for them to figure out how to build it and fun watching the water spin the cogs. Shame it falls over easy but that’s because we have a wonky garden!'

4/5  Sara 'My 3yo loves this and plays with it for ages. Good for dexterity, works well as a water wheel. Bright colours appealing. Good price and on offer when I got it. The only snag is the pieces fit together a little loosely, so if it is knocked over it easily falls apart. This happens often with a little one and can be frustrating for them. Also it is quite light so floats in water. It would be nice if it could be stood in a shallow paddling pool so water can be reused, unfortunately not possible'

5/5  Terri 'My little granddaughters spent hours playing with this. After reading other reviews about it not being sturdy I was hesitant. Yes, if the kids pour too much water in too fast it does sometimes fall down, but that was all part of the fun and they soon got the hang of it. As it's designed to be built in different ways it entertained the kids for ages, very creative. For relatively little money for hours and hours of play and enjoyment, I was very pleased with this purchase.'
