Loopy Lou, Loopy Lou, Loopy Lou ...
This is such a cool toy for all ages.I got this for my nine year old daughter, and anywhere she takes it, everyone wants to play.I do have some constructive criticism for the manufacturer.1. To change the batteries, you have to unscrew four small wood screws on the back of the device that bite directly into the wood on the receiving piece. Over time, this will break down, and I'll have to do the "sawdust, wood glue" trick. For something at this price point, I would expect threaded inserts on the receiving piece, and machine screws through the attaching piece.2. The back of the battery holder is hot glued to the inside wall of the body of the Loopy Lou. The cover of the battery holder is also taped closed with what looks like masking tape. At this price point, I would have expected something like Velcro or off-brand Velcro. I accidentally snapped a little plastic piece of the end of the battery cover (it has a tab that fits into a slot, slide to close/open) because I couldn't tell how to remove the battery cover when changing the battery since it's glued inside.It's likely these practices were adopted to control the price, and simplify the manufacturing process, which I understand.Those things being said, this toy is totally worth it, and I think you'll get a whole lot of enjoyment out of it.

Ridiculously entertaining
This is a conceptually simple little toy (and I use the word "toy" in the all-ages sense!), but one that can provide endless entertainment. You can record 30 seconds of something (music, your voice, whatever), then hit a button to play back what you recorded. You can then rotate a knob to speed up or slow down the recording as it plays back on an endless loop.Simple, yes, but it's amazing how much fun it is to record people's voices and then play them back faster or slower. It would be a great item to leave on your coffee table for guests to fiddle with because it's simple to use and actually nice looking, with a retro wooden look. But put this thing in the hands of a child and you may never get it back!

Perhaps better shipped in an Amazon box rather than a bubbled mailer??
Sadly, the box (that the product comes in) was beat up which sucks because I was hoping to gift it in the box. The good news is that the product works great and wasn’t damaged during shipping

Ridiculously fun.
I had to play with this before gifting it to my nephew. It was so fun. Bonus- I got to record a looping message for him that will sound like a demon, thanks to the modulator!

Great gift for kids
I bought this for my 8 y/o nephew and he and his older brother absolutely love it. A creative, unusual present for anyone, and especially if the recipient is interested in music and music gear.

Like a kids toy.
Absolutely not what I had in mind. I feel like I wasted my money. It’s tiny and battery operated. Like a kids toy.
