 Earlier model was better! Dec 27, 2003
My sister had this when we were little and remembering the fun she and I both had with it, I bought it for my son. I am very disappointed with it!! The template does not fit flush with the table surface and therefore does not securely hold the paper. In addition, the gears are too thin and keep slipping under the template, ruining the design. My son found this very frustrating as it ruined picture after picture and it is very difficult to move the gears and hold the template down at the same time. I gave the durability factor a poor rating as the material is just cheap plastic that will definitely not last long. This is definitely a case of where the old adage that says, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" should have been followed!! The earlier design, though not perfect, was much better and much less frustrating! Save your money and buy something else!

OK, but with a really dumb design flaw Dec 22, 2003
This would be a nice toy if not for one serious design flaw.
The flaw is that the gears supplied are too thin and easily
slide under the main unit ruining a drawing. This happens if
you don't push down hard on the main unit or use a perfectly
flat, hard surface. The solution would
be simple for Hasbro to fix this. Simply make the gears that
mesh at the teeth the same thickness. This would require a flat
side and a side with a depression. This would still allow for
the pen to have a thin section to poke through. Alternately,
a tapered opening could be used for the pen tip and the gear
disk all the same thickness. But a gear that has the same
thickness as the main unit would prevent the gears from slipping
under the unit. This is a no brainer fix, but it's doubtful
that Hasbro will fix it. So don't buy any more until they do.

Its a shame.... Mar 17, 2004
By Tammy Vance
...this is nothing like the Spirograph I grew up playing with. As everyone else mentioned, the gears are much too thin and slip constantly. My 6 year old son was completely frustrated after wrestling with the design flaws. Don't waste your money!!

Don't waste your money!!! Feb 19, 2004
Bought this for my granddaughter's birthday and am very disappointed with it. Very difficult even for an adult to succesfully use so it is impossible for a child. The gears are too thin, the design is poor, and it is cheap-cheap-cheap (not in a good way). Twenty years ago when my daughter played with one it was a source of hours of satisfying play. Not anymore! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Sad Sad SAD Dec 26, 2004
By Grant's Mom
"Mom"
I am so seriously disappointed with this version of Spirograph.
The old model had a squire and long Popsicle type disk along with several other drawing disks.
The problem with this model is the prongs do not hold the disks in place very well. This causes the disk to slide under the drawing stencil. Oh and you only have three different drawing stencils/outlines unlike the old model. When I was young my sister (who is 9 years older than me) and I loved this "toy" and we would draw for literally hours. It was cool for every age group! I was so excited to see this in the "deluxe" version. My son was frustrated with this model in about one minute so I tried it out and I gave up after a few tries as well. Honestly, I ( a 40 year old lady) bought it for myself and just pretended it was for my son. Although, this is not an expensive toy.... It is NOT worth your money ... it truly does not work well.... and I am really sad about that!
