I’ve got one, my 3yr old loves it and uses it with supervision to make large pieces of cardboard into smaller pieces… A warning, it’s a bit loud, definitely invest in kid’s hearing protection to wear when using it.

For $250, it was not worth it even before you told that.

For 250 dollars I'd expect a motor you can barely hear, not one that needs hearing protection! And at least a partly alloy case. Proxxon is a fairly pricy German mini-tool brand, has a far smaller addressable market (i.e. serious miniature hobbyists) and can still sell you a made-in-Europe MP 400 Micro Shaper, a mini router table, with 10 cutters, for about 200. The manual says it's 104dBA, but this video indicates it's actually fairly quiet in practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpmzqvHqQM0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpmzqvHqQM0

  Even so, hearing loss is irreversible --- best to begin a life-long habit of wearing PPE with this tool.
