My son has the Green Machine. He loves it but the wheels wore through after only a month of riding. This looks like it will last longer and be easier to assemble.

Yes!!! Probably better for 8 year old. My nephew is only 5, but he does very well with it.

I just bought it for my 7 year old (soon to be 8). Her friend, also 7 has had one for awhile. Hope that helps.

My 16 yr old loves it, but she is comfortable with the 15 inch, if its a cramp on your style, I love my 17 in ASUS and firmly believe that its the best computer for the money. Now that said I hacked both of their operating system and installed older versions of windows, sorry Im a creature of habit. First one took 4 hours and a lot of sweat the second about half the time.

I think the Green Machine is bigger than the H20 version. If you look at the pictures on the Huffy site (http://www.huffybikes.com/bikes/index.html and click on Fun Rides), the H20 appears to have a smaller front tire. In addition, the frame of the H20 consists of two narrow rails running under each side of the seat. The Green Machine has a much larger single tube frame that runs underneath the center of the seat. The Green Machine is rated up to 180 lbs. I don't know about the rating on the H20. The H20 also has a water tank on the back and sprays water.

Yes, it is a fabulous buy and a fantastic machine. Would not trade mine for anything and have never had any problems with it.Hope this helps you in your decision. D

Hi Jessica, We got the Green Machine jr (5-8 yr olds) and it has a plastic front wheel...just like the one I owned [gulp] over 30 years ago. Unfortunately, I got it for his 5th birthday and he has a little trouble reaching pedals. It looked to me like the regular Green Machine (8-11 year olds, I think?) had a rubber, bicycle-style front wheel. Hope this helps. --Jonathan

Yes I would, depending on how it will b used. You can add memory to it for book, picture music & movie files , so is better than a kindle for OFFLINE use. If it will b used for ONLINE use mostly, my daughter (23) said it runs slow. So if your 8 year old is an online gamer, might want to keep looking.

It should be a super computer for photoshop and others because of his super i7 processor, but I haven't tried yet that kind of programs, I just use it in bed before I sleep. and I'm not very happy with the windows 8 as well...very sluggish..all over the house isn't very pleasent because is quite heavy and does not have a good way of grabbing it, but once you sit, it becomes very nice because of it's big screen and it does not get hot either under the case. about the duration of the batteries is around an hour and a have.

I think you are making a wise choice. This is a good machine and replaced my 1st ProForm, which I used 8 years and it was a cheap model..$599. It still works too but is noisy. They make a great machine.

How about a Vespa? Believe it or not this was fun for about 15 minutes. I had fun but I wouldn't trade my 1966 Schwinn away for it. I really believe it's more for a ten year old than an Adult. But it isn't a huge investment, it folds up and isn't bad to carry. An when you get done it fits inside the closet.

It would be great for a 10 year old! Kids absolutely love this claw machine. It's just like playing an actually claw machine, just for a smaller cost and it's a smaller size.

of course the manufactured would kinow best; however, my grandchildren age 9 and 12 asked for same for Christmas 2013. Thne 12 year old is really into it and really enjoys it and understands the concept; but my 9 year old does not seem interested (has not yet begun to look at it). I would say it all depends on the child and their interests. Sorry, this is all I have to offer.

It's a great deal. I was going to purchase one myself and came here to compare prices when I saw this post. I ended up not buying it only because I have an 18 month and 4 years old at home and the truth is I don't have time to bake like I would like to. Hopefully I'll buy one in a few years when they are older. Hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it.

I would definitely recommend the bigger one.I bought one for my granddaughter for her 4th birthday. Had it out for her party. Kids of all ages loved it. We even had 1 4 month old. (With supervision. )

I'd return it for a new one. My 8 year old grandson has been using his since December, with no problems at all.

I think an 8-year-old might be too old/big for this kitchen. I bought it for my then-3-year-old, for whom it is perfect. I teach 2nd grade, so am fairly familiar with what 8-year-olds like, and my advice would be to pursue a larger model...
