How many of you love candy? I know I do. When I was given the opportunity to try out an antique gumball machine, I was thrilled! I haven`t seen one of these since I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. Needless to say, this was an opportunity that excited me!


Gumballs.com was kind enough to send me their King Carousel Gumball Machine which included a stand plus 4lbs of gum balls to start me off, which is over a $69 value! When my package arrived, I was surprised that it wasn`t heavy. When you think of a gumball machine and gum, you would think there`s a lot of weight there. Luckily, I was wrong and it was rather light weight. When I opened my package, everything was packaged well and secure for it`s delivery trip to my  home. Great start already!


Once I opened the package I noticed that I needed to put together the stand with the gumball machine. This was actually a pretty simple task. It started off a bit tricky trying to get the screws together, but once I saw how it went into place it was easy from there. Of course, the instructions were very simple to follow as well.


Once I put the pieces together, I carried the stand into place where I was going to display it at in my home. Once in it`s location, I poured in the whole 4 lbs of gumballs into the machine. This is very simple. You just need a screw driver to unscrew the top and pour them on in. This is very simple, nothing tricky and it stays secured shut until it is unscrewed again. By the way, the gum tastes great!


So what are my thoughts? I love this machine! The gum is fresh and tastes great. The stand and the machine are both made of high quality materials. They look great and also have some nice detailed design on the stand making it more unique. Not only is it a gumball machine, but it can also double as a bank because it does take $0.25 to get the gum out. Unless you cheat of course and unscrew the top each time you want some gum. If you`re not a gum person you can always substitute the candy for others such as m&ms or other similar sorts of candy.


The customer service I received from this company was outstanding. They were very friendly and professional. They shipped my products in a quick timely manner and definitely leave me wanting to do future business with them. I highly recommend this company for all your gum needs or if you`re looking for a cool gumball machine as I was.


Keep up with the latest news and sales from Gumballs.com on Facebook and Twitter! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

I made a new discovery with my awesome gumball machine! Remember how originally I thought the machine took just quarters? Well, not only does it take quarters, but it also takes any other kind of U.S. coin including pennies, nickels and dimes. There are also instructions on how to set the machine to free spin, so you don’t have to screw off the top. Once the machine is set to free spin, the coin mechanism cannot be changed back. Oh yea, I almost forgot, they are now including a giveaway with the review because YOU requested it! How generous!
