Ordered two kits. Received one

When I first saw this kit, it looked promising and fun, but the kit took over 6 weeks to arrive. Once it did arrive, the kit was missing multiple parts including the LEDs, the piezo buzzer and the dip switch. The instructions for getting started on the curriculum are also extremely unclear. I spent well over 3 hours trying to learn how to install drivers on my pc. I would strongly recommend not buying this product.

This is not a child's toy but a teenager could work through this course and learn a lot. As an adult in my 30s I was unsure about buying a kit like this but learning programming and working through the lessons and having to trouble shoot sometimes to get the result I want as well as learning some introductory electrical engineering has been incredibly fun and makes me want to buy more and more advanced kits like this. I could see continuing my efforts and learning enough to lead me into a new career path.

This was a very fun experience and I am very glad I had it.

I bought this for my niece and nephew a few months ago. They haven't been able to use 30 Days Lost in Space because they have Google Chrome laptops. Their mother is having a hard time trying to figure out how to make the program work on their laptops. This is a review more about compatibility than it is about the product itself. I can revise it in the future.

Ordering was easy, getting to the course is another thing... I ordered 2 kits, one for me and one for my brother. I guessed, that the course itself - which is for free - would be accessible for free as well. Turns out, my brother couldn't use my account to get to his course as well. I could order the same course twice, but there was no nice option to get him the second one. After a while, the second course seemed to be deleted from my account, I still don't know why, since I ordered two kits. So my brother might need his own account to be able to use his kit, which was a present. This is a bit annoying, considered that he will see price lists now. In the end, the confusing access to the course which is still in my account, lead to me laying aside my kit, waiting for an opportunity (time is limited) to see, if there are better opportunities to get access to the same course twice.

A very well thought learning kit to get in contact with prgramming and wireing. The explaining Videos are well done and clear to understand. The components of the Kit are high quality and can even be used for other projects.

My experience with Inventr was actually very good despite the delay in the delivery of my Hero kit. There was an advisory on the order page at the time I ordered my kit saying they were experiencing delays in delivery, but I chose to order anyway. I did get confirmation of my order right away. After waiting 10 days for shipment confirmation I wrote to Support and they responded immediately saying that they did have my order and it would be sent. I noticed that the price had dropped the day after I placed my order and they refunded the difference as soon as I called it to their attention. I did get my Hero Kit and have been enjoying using it along with the tutorials on the website. Inventr has a good product and very good customer service. I found that being patient with them while they coped with a surge in orders was worth it. I will continue to use their products and tutorials.
