Disappointed
The front wheel doesn't spin smoothly. I've oiled everything that can be oiled and now it works somewhat decently but the tracks are all oily looking now. It doesn't ride smoothly. It's jerky and get's stuck on curved sections of track. Don't waste your money. It also looks very cheap. The pictures are way cooler looking.

Good for the price
My son loves to ride this train which makes it worth the trouble. It is a little high maintenance in the sense that it needs to be charged whenever it is not in use but cannot be charged for more than 30 hrs. It comes with a warning saying that not doing so can void warranty on the battery. And it needs to be charged for 16 hrs before initial use.
Also, there is no on/off switch so the child needs to hold down the button to make it go. Overall, it is a good toy, you can't ask too much considering the price.

choo choo!
My 11 month old received this for xmas. He was a little scared of it at first but loves it now. I think riding around in a circle is a bit boring but he thinks it's great and loves that he can control it.

Be careful - It will derail.
Ordered this (sort of late) for my 16 month old grandson for Christmas. The seller pulled through and it arrived on time (with a few days to spare). At first my grandson loved it....then it derailed and he fell off and it scared him. He wouldn't get back on it for 3 days, but after a little coaxing, we managed to get him to give it another try. He loves it!! I'm afraid my daughter is going to unhook the horn, though. It drives her crazy. Be sure and keep everything out of the way of the tracks....his dog was laying on the tracks and he almost ran over her (she yelped away...to safety).

great gift
I bought this as a christmas present for my 17 month old son and he loves it. I purchased the extra tracks and together even thought it takes alot of space it was not only a great deal but he wont get off it. My daugter is six and even she can ride it. Great product.
