Wham-O Snow Ball Blaster

Rating

By looking at the product it looks great. We will not have snow for a few months, so I cannot test it out. I bought it to give to my niece and nephew for Christmas, but I think my son and brother will have more fun with it, I feel sorry for the niece and nephew. We always enjoy being outside and this is one more activity we can do outdoors, but better, because we can make and launch snowballs with this, so it should give us more pleasure.Thanks

I got this when it was a special offer - but unfortunately all the snow melted before I could use it... I'm looking forward to next year though.

I am just glad I did not pay full retail price on this item. The appearance of the product is nice and it's pretty well made being it's plastic. The biggest issue, unless your kids are fairly strong, this toy is useless to them. It takes a lot of grip strength to pull the bands back and most kids under 10 will probably not be able to handle this toy. The snowball maker on the top is a nice concept but it does not pack the snow hard enough to use it to shoot it with. Most of the time, the snowball will just fall apart. You are better off making your own snowballs, pack it tight and shoot it for the kids. Again, it's nice toy for the price compared to what the retail is, I am keeping it when the kids get stronger but glad I didn't buy a bunch. Make sure you know what you are buying, this is not a "automatic" thrower, it operates like a sling shot.

while the snowball blaster is as described it is difficult for an average size 8 year old to pull it back by himself to launch the snowballs
