We did not know there was another brand. Great fun and, months later, still is the same consistency.

I have sand brand and I really like it. I have not tries any of the others though.

I wasn't aware of the other brands. I have the Brookstone Sand and I like it because it actually cleans up easily. It's fun! at my age I can use a little fun! (I'm a senior)-enjoy!

I like Brookstone sand for kids. We have it in our classroom it's easy to mold and easier to clean up. It also doesn't stick on anything other then itself.

I don't have experience with any other brands, but the Brookstone product is AMAZING! My kids love it - it's fun, easy to use, easy to clean up, and isn't showing any signs of drying out or changing characteristics. I'd buy it again!

I have used every brand at some point. Some work better than others. The best are Metallica and one coat cremes. Have fun!

It's been so long, I can't remember. I bought this for my granddaughter for a sand box. You might want to try it. It's very clean sand but don't quote me on this.

My apologies for that late response. I honestly can not compare, I haven't used Dr. Adorable or Desert essence before.

I don't think you can use either to sand. They are all either scrubbing or buffing. Don't think they are "rough" enough to sand.

I would go with the Hamilton-Beach mixer. This one is very loud and I don't think that it would last very long.

Yes. I've been using mine in sand for a year now. No issues. It look a little bit of adjusting during setup but has performed excellent since day one.

It is not any better, they are both excellent products. Give them both a try is my recommendation.

No it is not. It is much better. We love it!!! My only recommendation is to buy the bigger one so that you will have more sand to work with. I am going to get the biggest one for Christmas.

If you read the reviews, others are saying yes, that some other company has dibs on the "Moon Sand" name, so this company can't use it as a generic name, so they call it Shapeit, or something like that. Me, I don't know, because I have no experience with Moon Sand to compare. Check what the reviewers had to say.

We're using the off-brand pads that work almost as well - but have found no substitutes for the pellets yet.Expensive - but WAY better than clay or sand.

I would think so. It's clean sand and very fine. If your doing numerous theme bowls, perhaps it may be cheaper to buy sand at a large hardware outlet.

Don't know. Bought online. From memory, it is bigger - at least in the area holding sand. I suggest looking up the capacity - either by weight or volume of sand it holds to determine which is larger. Happy with this one so far - at least as happy as I can be with sand everywhere!

I have used both the Norpro and Sunsella brands and find the Sunsella brand to be much better quality. The Norpro silicone is thinner and doesn't seem anywhere near as durable. It also doesn't feel like a full silicone product, it has a "plasticky" feel to it. Possibly not 100% silicone like the Sunsella brand. I also find the lids fit a lot more securely on the Sunsella brand, the Norpro lid is quite flimsy. I also performed the twist test on both products and the Sunsella brand retained it's color however the Norpro brand did not. So I would definitely go for the Sunsella brand! It looks like Sunsella have a special on at the moment and are selling theirs for $7.99 for 6 so work out to be cheaper than Norpro per mold too. Hope that helps!

I think it is. This one is blue in color not white and it has more sand in it than the other one which is crystal . I like this one much better.

No! I did not like moon sand. It was super messy. Living sand sticks together better and it's easier to clean up. My kids love it.

Sand is OK, I do not have experience with rocks, but I think golf ball size is OK.
