My 8 yo son loves Loves this toy!
It's a water toy so beware. I wasn't aware. But my son plays with it everyday! I just wish I would have ordered it in the Spring so he could play with it outside Lol! He takes it apart and builds it back together by looking at the directions so keep them if your child will enjoy the same.

Junk
It was fun while it lasted but not worth the money. The spinner portion is supposed to spin cars around in cold water to spit them out the other side. You push down the lever on the top and it's supposed to bring the spinning bottom upwards so the car can fly out into the gator's mouth. The lever gets stuck and when it does go it doesn't spin enough to bring it up to get the cars out. I tried spinning it slow and spinning it fast. But you have to use serious strength to push it down now, my son is 4 and is not strong enough to break this. What a disappointing Christmas gift.

    Excellent toy for a girl
    Got it for my daughter since we are trying to raise her gender neutral: to show her that even she can play with cars and typical boy toys. she loves it

    Birthday smiles
    Product is great the smiles at the Birthday Celebration were proof.. Once it was assembled the screams of excitement were loud. Good price however you need to watch online as products are limited at a sale price then skyrocket.

    Went together pretty good....but spinner part that holds cold water doesn't work well at all! This is a part that come pre-assembled and suppose to swirl the cars in cold water then exit onto a ramp. The problem is that it doesn't lift the cars up so that they exit the ramp...so you have to fish out the car each time. This is a big issue as the kids constantly need you to help get out the cars and they lose interest. A simple fix would make it awesome.

    Horrible shipping
    This is not a review for the product rather for the shipping. They just slapped a label on the box as is and shipped it. HORRIBLE service as this box is definitely not built to be shipped. Box is crushed and kids saw it on the step so much for that present.

    Way to messy and gets moldy fast
    We had two different ultimate garages that our 5 year old loves. We bought this for a birthday gift. It is not as stable as the others. It requires warm and ice water. It is the messiest thing with water leaking out from multiple spots. You will have to keep adding water and spend time drying all the pieces after use. You will also need to buy additional color changing cars because your regular cars can rust out. When you pick it up to dry it out pieces fall off driving you nuts because its too large to carry around. The best use is outside only but you will still have to dry it or it gets moldy fast. I would like my $80 back.

    Fun for the kids, but water is everywhere
    My kids love it. It would be nice to have a water tray to catch the water from the track. My towels get so wet when they play with the track. Also it is so hard to get the color shifter cars because they are in high demand. I went to Target and Walmart and they were out in store and online. Sam's club had a whole box set of color shifters but we only wanted a few.

    Grandson Loves It!
    I bought this for my 5 year old grandson who loves everything Hot Wheels. His dad put it together for him, and it seems to work really well. He has several color changing cars, but uses some of his other cars also. Since it's summer, his mom has it on the back porch, to avoid a water mess in the house. I like that he has to manually turn knobs to keep the cars moving through the cycle because it keeps him engaged. Glad I made the purchase.

    Great water toy!
    This is a pretty big set and my 8 year old son loves it. It does get the play area wet if you are using water. It does fit in the bathtub. The water goes in the set in 2 different places plus my son likes to pour it on the tracks to make hot wheels water slides.

    Fun Toy, Microwave Trips for Caregivers
    My son loves this water track. He played with it a lot. The only thing to keep in mind is that you will need to keep filling up the hot water reservoir because it empties out. The cold water piece is a tank and the water stay in. The hot water pours out and needs refilling frequently. Other than trips to the microwave several times, this toy is good.

    Great play set!
    My sons have been playing with this new car wash everyday since we've received it. They love all of the features. Especially the gator, elevator and how the cars change color. This set was super easy to put together and I love how the parts that contain water can be easily removed. A lot of things to keep kids imaginations going. Cleanup is easy. We connect this gator car wash to our hot wheels garage! Fits most sized hot wheels cars. Tracks and other aspects of the set are very durable. This set is worth every penny! Great Christmas gift!
