    5.0 out of 5 stars It's a breadboard. No complaints here.

    Its a breadboard, its the size i expected. Make sure to get the white version instead of the clear version. THe clear version seems cool until you get it and realize its impossible to read or line up the rows.
    But again, its a breadboard. Im assuming if you are buying one you know what to expect. This brand sells a lot of breadboards, chances are youve used this brand before. It works great. Nothing to complain about.

    The picture makes it look so much bigger. Pretty small, I must not have read the dimensions in the description. But it is exactly what is described in the description. Works good so far. I may have to order another to get more build space for some of the larger circuits I will be testing soon.

    3.0 out of 5 stars The Display Picture is Deceptive.

    The picture is a little deceptive. This breadboard is much smaller than I expected. This caused a lot of problems when I was using it in my class. Luckily, I got by, but it could have been avoided if the picture shown was what you get.

    This is one of the cheapest breadboards out there, but the slots grip nicely and it comes with a resistor color chart! The sticky surface on the back is great if you need to mount this little board.

    The only downside is that the half height boards don't hook with the full height boards due to different connectors on the side.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This board somewhat works. Some of the contacts inside don't line up very well with the holes in the plastic, so it can take a few tries to plug in wires or parts. Once I got everything hooked up, I noticed that the internal electrical contacts are loose: some sections of my circuit wouldn't operate correctly until I pushed pins to the left or right to get them to contact inside the breadboard.
    Unfortunately, while this breadboard sometimes works, the loose connections make it unreliable. I've stopped using the couple I bought.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality
    Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I spent a fair amount of time constructing a circuit using four of these attached together and bonded to a phenolic substrate, and am very unsatisfied with their quality. The internal connectors are poorly made, resulting in bad connections existing throughout my circuit. After spending a lot of time trying to debug the circuit, I found that it would work intermittently if the components attached to the board were wiggled. After hours of fiddling, I finally gave up on these boards, and bought another brand of breadboard. I exactly duplicated the old circuit using the new board and it worked perfectly, without having to wiggle components to get the circuit to work. Perhaps this is an anomaly, but since all four of these boards had the same problem, I am forced to conclude that they are of low quality. I wouldn't recommend these, unless you have a lot of time to waste wiggling components to get your circuits to work.

    great, a bit pricey but great. I say pricey because if you are an engineer like me you need a million of these and when u but a bunch money goes quick. But it is of great quality.
