We've had it for 6 months, still going strong by S. Towne (Windsor, MA)  5 Stars
November 27, 2009
My 10 year old son recieved this deluxe kit at the beginning of the summer. He loves to build-legos, knex, marble run etc. He spent hours and hours for weeks playing with this kit. We put it on a short patio table in the bath tub in the spare bathroom. It stayed in there all summer with very little mess. At first adding food coloring was fun, but it got messy so I put a stop to it. He still played with it anyways, rebuilding and watching the water flow.
Yes, some of the tanks are hard to put together at first. After a month, it all wears in and it is easier to change the tank designs without parental help. One hint about putting the brand new, tight fitting tanks together is to attach the flatter pieces first, save the pointy ends for last. I had good luck using shag rug on the floor to support the pieces when I applied lots of pressure. I think we ran one piece under hot water to expand it and then tried to snap them together.
At the end of the summer we put it away, and a few weeks later he dragged it out again for another two week run. A great toy that stores easily when not in use. (Just make sure that everything is dry before you lock it air tight in the storage container.) This deluxe set is better than the picture that Amazon shows. "Google" it to see the difference between the deluxe and the standard model. Amazon has a great price on it too. I wish they made more toys like this. I would buy them.

My son really enjoys this by C. Walter (Brentwood, TN)  4 Stars
July 18, 2009
This was a Christmas gift for my son. He really enjoys building different configurations and playing/controlling the water in the resulting structure. He may be too young (3rd grade) to understand about the manufacturing processes the hydrodynamic set can illustrate; but he loves to build things and take them apart and build something new - so the fact what he creates has no "real world" equivalent doesn't really matter. He got the second set with the eletric pump as well.

A very fun and educational toy by roof walker (Miami, FL USA) 5 Stars
January 15, 2009
I had one of these sets when I was a kid so I got it for my son. We set up one of the factories and he played with it for hours. Spraying water, mixing in colors and soap, and just experimenting with the flow of water really held his interest. He now experiments by creating his own designs and flow patterns. This is now one of his favorite toys.

Hydrodynamic Deluxe Building Set by J. Strong (Ohio, USA) 4 Stars
January 07, 2009
Okay, so I was looking for an educational toy. Since my son is knob turner and button pusher who loves to make messes, I figured this was just the ticket. I was right. Once the "contraptions" AKA factories are built, the water flowing and widget spinning, dripping "mess" is not only fun to watch, but allows for troublshooting of water flow issues through opening and closing valves to change the flow dynamics. A lot of fun. The only downside is that the manual shows very few canned ideas on what to build, and the pictures are a little hard for the kids to follow. If you just "freestyle" the building, it is much more fun. Be sure to have a couple of towels handy as when things go wrong at the plant, it can get wet! Definitely recommend for the kids that love to tinker. And its not another VIDEO game.......
