Not as good as thought by Samson (NY)

This product looks good, but you need to supply so much ingredients to perform experiments it is not worth getting.

Don't expect much by Darcy Fournier (West Virginia)

My daughter is very much into "experiments"...I can prove that by how many times my wife and I have asked here were the Gold Bond powder is or the shampoo etc. I decided to get this particular kit after researching all available chemistry kits on Amazon.com because of the descriptions of how many experiments you could do with this particular set. My main problem with the set is that it's cheesy and cheap looking- which does not match the not so cheap and cheesy price. What really irked me though was the fact that 95% of the experiments in this kit require "additional household products" like ammonia, soap, fruit, bread, styrofoam etc. I am sorry, I expected a kit that costs 80 bucks and claims to be able to do 1000 chemical experiments to be self contained and do more than make water turn blue. I was also less than impressed with the number of "experiments" in the book that did not even require ONE SINGLE ELEMENT of this kit. It's not worth the money and I am in the process of trying to return it. I will edit this review based on how easily, or difficult that process is. If there could be a negative rating, I would apply it here.

Manual could be more user friendly/not for younger kids by Colorado (Fort Collins, CO)

When we ordered the Electronic Gadget Lab (which we love, a five star buy IMO), we also ordered the Chem X-1000 to get free shipping. In hindsight, since my daughter is six years old, I'm not sure it was worth it. If you're looking for some fun chemistry experiments to play with with a younger child, perhaps this isn't your best choice. The manual is a lengthy black-and-white single-spaced book with experiments not well highlighted. It goes into great detail for several pages about how to perform chemical experiments in general (which is pretty boring to younger kids). If your child can't read at a higher level they may become frustrated. I have found it's better to dig through it myself first and organize what we'll do ahead of time - something I'd expect the manufacturer to have done when they wrote the manual. For the price and what was included, I am not terribly impressed.

Fine Gift LOUSY Delivery by uncle (Abingdon, VA USA)

This is a fine gift--but the delivery was significantly delayed when the gift, en route to VA, was sent from OH to AZ to UT to OH to VA to Tn to VA. I ordered it in plenty of time for arrival for my niece's b-day--it arrived a week late due to this error.

Excellent set to encourage curiosity by K. Saiz (Texas)

5 Stars

Not a short lived gift, this set will keep your child (& adults, too) experimenting for a long time. Test tubes, etc are made of plastic but it is made for kids after all. Well rounded basic set, clear instructions, ample carrying case, great price.
