Godinger 9- Inch Refillable Globe Gumball Machine and Candy Dispenser Antique Style - Gold Color

Love this machine. I wanted this mainly for display purposes wanted a little gumball machine but I wanted it to match my decor so this gold was perfect. You do have to be careful filling the machine because the glass globe is thin but I have a similar gumball machine (different brand) and the glass is also thin so I was already prepared for that. The only thing is when dispensing gumball, like 3 gumballs comes out at a time if your not careful and there’s nothing to catch them like traditional machines so if your hand is not already under it it is guaranteed to fall on the floor. But I’m fine with it. Like I said I only bought it for appearance anyway and I love it. However wouldn’t recommend for a kid due to the glass globe.

Extremely poor quality, it falls apart constantly, and the internal mechanisms are held together with superglue. Had I known it would be this cheap and flimsy, I wouldn't have even considered buying it. There's a reason it doesn't allow returns, clearly.

Great decor for a child room

I bought this for a teenagers room. It comes well packaged and is super cute, but it is an extremely thin glass ball. It shattered immediately when I started to dump the gumballs in it. I was really disappointed 😞.

This works well for kids or just to have in a business office. I’ll either fill it with gumballs or candy like Reese’s or M&M’s. Great price!

Had this for nearly a year. It works great with small-to-medium-sized gumballs, and it looks fantastic for decoration.Make sure you don't pull a brilliant maneuver like myself and shake the gumballs without securing the top, as the top shatters from any drop height.

Fragile glass (thin). It doesn’t secure on the bottom even if you twist it, so If you lift up at all on the globe part, the candy will fall out. It’s also very small. It’s pretty though.

I received a similar item as a gift over 15 years ago. It has been a popular item in my home so when I saw this item, decided to gift one to my daughter and sister-in-law. The first one arrived broken in shipment, so I exchanged it. The second one broke in the same spot as was seen in the first one, upon filling it the first time. I should have read all of the reviews which pointed out the same issue of the super thin and fragile glass globe. This is dangerous, as if gone unnoticed, could result in glass fragments being injested or lacerated hands when dispensing candy. I have warned my sister-in-law about this as she hasn't filled hers yet. The one I have has much thicker glass and is very sturdy. It's a novel item, which I have received many favorable comments on mine but perhaps the globe should be made out of plastic or acrylic. Will probably be returning sister-in-law's as well and will not re-order.
