It's not just for kids!! I always tell the buzzing, crawling and flying creatures that make their way into my home that they cannot stay inside but they certainly do not deserve the death penalty for having come in. I believe the life of every living creature is significant and therefore, I do not willfully squash bugs, spiders or any insect. This vacuum is the perfect aid in moving the little critters outside! Everyone who sees me use it at home ends up wanting one of their own. The suction is more than sufficient for even large bugs as long as the magnifying glass on the capsule is in the open position and the batteries are fresh. I wonder if some of the previous reviewers had the glass in the closed position or the suction power set to Low. There are three settings...Low, Medium and High and I just keep it on High for most of my relocations. Trap and release!!

I was VERY disappointed in this product's ability to suck live bugs into it's chamber. I even changed the batteries and it STILL would not remove bugs from any surface I tried to lift them from. It would not even suck a mosquito into the chamber let alone an ant. I considered this toy a complete waste of money and even though there were return instructions, the only pleasure I derived from this product was hearing it hit the bottom of my trash can!

My 4-year-old nephew loved this. This was definitely his favorite Christmas present. He liked playing with it even though there were hardly any bugs outside because it's cold out. THe only bad part is that the vacuum fan can get knocked out of kilt, but I was able to fix it by loosening some screws and pushing things around a bit.

This is a piece of junk. It doesnt work, we couldnt even get it to vacuum up a piece of popcorn. There is no suction at all. It is just an expensive noise maker that falls apart easily. My son was so disappointed. He caught bugs fast and better with tweezers.

We were very disappointed in the quality of the product. The trigger mechanism broke with the first use. It was a gift to our grandson.
