Review: Absolute best educational toy coupled with THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. - I have always lauded desertcart for it's excellent customer service. However, Elenco in my opinion has far exceeded the service that desertcart has provided over the years. The snap circuits set is amazing, there are so many different, fun, educational, and exciting projects you can do with this set that it is still going strong after years of use. I originally started my kids off with the Green set, but took the leap to purchase this set after learning of the service that Elenco provides to their customers. My kids played with the Green set so much that they broke a few connections with some of the pieces. I contacted the company to find replacement parts thinking that i'd need to purchase them and the response I received blew me away. Even though the damage was not due to the company's flaw, merely normal wear and tear of my children, they told me all I needed to do was tell them the part(s) and my name/address. They literally sent me 3 replacement parts, no questions asked, no verification, nothing. I was absolutely so shocked that I went out immediately & purchased this set from desertcart. Just to support a company that is doing the right thing. I love the fact that they are focused on the customer. So back on this product...I love playing with this set with my kids, even I learn things with this set. I'm no electrician, but know enough to work on my electrical system at home and repair computers. The projects range from easy to challenging even for a grown man. They are educational and sufficiently different to provide hours of fun. We have over 20 hours of time into this set alone. I feel that this set is better than the Green set not just due to the depth of projects but due to the worksmanship of this product. It definitely seems like this has been honed in over the years, whereas the green set is a newer product. The manuals are great, they are very thorough and educational. The projects are a lot of fun and all are complete with the addition of a few common household items (like water), so everything needed is included in this set. I would like to purchase additional sets, like the Rover, but at this point have not finished all the projects in this set and the green set, so I feel like I need to get 100% out of these projects before we buy another set. I completely recommend this to any budding scientists, and advanced children that love to learn, and any adults that are looking for something fun and educational that they can enjoy with their children.
Review: Excellent "Toy" for budding engineers and scientists - This is one of the best "toys" I have bought in the last 8 years. I put "toys" in quotes because really as fun as this is for the kids and myself this is far more than a toy and is more an investment into my children's education. I originally bought this for my 8 yr old son but my 6yr old daughter was also having a blast with it. I am glad I bought the SC-750 as it has 750 projects(hence the name)and some of them are similar to each other but there are reasons for this since they teach about the flow of electricity and different types of circuits(series and parallel). There are 5 project books and they start off with the smaller projects in book one and gradually get more detailed and bigger as you advance to the next project book. You can create everything from an electric light switch circuit to an alarm to a door bell, sound effects to a flying saucer circuit using different motors, resistors, and capacitors that snap to a plastic circuit board. Each project has an Objective and Instructions to read but, even if your kid is just learning to read the diagrams by themselves are pretty simple and straightforward to understand. My daughter who is 6 caught on pretty quickly after watching my son and it is something that the whole family can get involved with. We are still on book one but there are some great projects yet to come as the last book involves circuits you will connect to your home PC. This is a 5-star product across the board as far as I am concerned.Hope this was helpful and enjoy!! *******UPDATE************************UPDATE*******************************UPDATE******************************UPDATE**************************** Almost 8 years later and still going strong. I originally bought this for my son for Christmas back in 2009 and since then it has been passed down to my two daughters and we are hoping our 4th child will love it just as much when she is old enough. I see the price went up a few dollars since I bought it but quite frankly, this set is well worth the price especially if you have more than one child. Now I see they have sets that connect to your phones, mp3 players and have all different colored lights. Looking forward to expanding our already existing set with a new updated one once my youngest daughter is old enough. Again, this is more than just a toy but an investment in your child's education. Hope you have as much fun with this set as my family has. Enjoy!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What do I get with this that I wouldn't get just buying Snap Circuits Extreme SC-750 and the Student Guide for the SC-750? That is less expensive...**
A: If you read the description, this item has a student guide and curriculum for educators, broken down for teachers, plus additional components that come with the 500 and other sub kits that are not included in the standard 750 kit. As an educator, this additional material is well worth it. Include the addition to the additional components and it's obvious this is as superior package

**Q: The pictures shpw 5 project books, a Student Guide and a Teacher's Guide.  Are these actually included?**
A: All of the books shown are included.  However, I would say it is a stretch to say it is 750 experiments.  So many are slight variations on a theme.  For example: To light the 7 segment LED display, it is a different experiment for each number 0 through 9.  Really it just changing the jumpers to light the appropriate segments for each number.

**Q: Does this item contain a complete set of Snap Circuit's electronic components? If not, what is it missing? What should I buy in addition?**
A: This is a complete set, except for the more fancy add on kits like light. The only thing I bought separately was the AC plug so I wouldn't have to use batteries all the time. It really is a cool way to learn some electronics.

**Q: What are some of the most fascinating things you can imagine doing with this kit?**
A: We've just scratched the surface of its capabilities, since my kids are only 4 & 6. Haven't gotten to the computer enabled features yet. Snap Circuits Extreme and the simpler Snap Circuits Green were huge hits at elementary school science night. Great feature is that kids start by building the book's projects, but then build the confidence to create their own designs, and to test the impacts of substituting in other parts (e.g., how the sound diminishes as  a stronger resistor is used). Sorry that I don't have a fuller answer to your question yet, but I can project years of enjoyment growing into this remarkable kit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nostalgic masterpiece
*by S***S on August 10, 2026*

I had this toy exactly 12 years ago when I was super young. I loved playing with them so much. Super nostalgic and sparked up a passion in engineering. Just wanted to leave a review on it a decade later. It's easy to set up, the materials last a long time, and you can combine different snap circuits toys into one. I recommend ANY KID 5-12 interested in STEM get this toy. No regrets.
