Red Classic Gumball Machine by American Gumball Company, 11-inch

This was a very nice gift for my granddaughter. Super fun to insert the a coin and get her gum. She would get thrilled and anyone who wanted a pice had to pay for it. This also help her get $ for her refill bubble gum bags. She loved it!!

Decent gum ball machine for the price. We used rainblow gumballs

All that mattered to me is that my GrandBlessings liked it and they do not……..they LOVE IT!!!!

This would have made 8 year old me squeal with delight. It's definitely a fun dispenser for kids... Or you could replace the candy bowl on your desk to make your co-workers stop swiping your candy without contributing something to the snack fund! It's pretty basic and easy to use. The quality is ok, but didn't blow me away. The plastic pieces like the flap over the dispenser feel pretty cheap, but the metal parts feel pretty well made. This doesn't dispense regular 1'' size gumballs like you would find in a "real" gumball machine, but it will do the mini ones or other small candies.

It is exactly like the photo

No, this does not come with gumballs! I did order Rain Blow gum balls to activate this little beauty. Able to set this to take or not take coins for a dispense. Will take any coin that fits the coin slot. Will not accept the jaw-breaker size gum balls, so just make sure you order the ones that will fit. The dispense mechanism is solid and well built, should outlive me. Let's face it, this is just a fun item waiting for kids to attack and the whole family to enjoy. For sure we're having a great time with this thing.

We got this a few weeks ago and filled it with Mike n Ikes. About 50% of them are dispensed chewed up by the dispensing mechanism. We'll try gumballs and they may work better, but the current candy comes out pretty much destroyed. Still tastes good, but not something I'd want a guest to try.
