Mighty Machines: Power Pack

This is a fantastic 4-pack of DVDs. They have a very decent run time, over an hour, and you do have the option to 'Play All,' which I love. That way on each DVD it will play all the shows without me having to stop what I'm doing to click on the next title or episode. They also automatically start the first show after a few minutes at the menu if you don't select something. Another nice feature. Keeps my boys entertained, while getting educated, for hours when I need to get things done around the house. I even find myself (and my husband for that matter) stopping to watch as well since they are so interesting. Great to take in my laptop on the airplane when we travel. My kids ask for it my name now..."Mighty Machines!" Here is the list of shows on each DVD in the set. I actually wrote these titles with a marker on the DVD so when my son wanted to watch the Building Demolition or Garbage Trucks, I could tell which DVD that episode was on easily. The episode titles are fairly simple to figure out what the show is about... #1. "Roadways to Runways DVD" (Blue DVD) :: Play All, At the Race Track, At the Airport, On the Road, Bonus Episodes (Picking Up the Garbage, The Fire Trucks, Building a Skyscraper, After the Blast. All Bonus Episodes are 3+ minutes each) #2. "Lights & Ladders DVD" (Red DVD) :: Play All, At the Firehall, In the City, At the Garbage Dump, Bonus Episodes (Towers Tumbling Down, At the Construction Site, At the Demolition Site, At the Rock Quarry) #3. "Boats to the Rescue!" (Orange DVD):: Play All, To the Rescue, Making Waves, In the Harbor, Bonus Episodes (Cement Truck at Work, the Truck Engine Line, Truck Cab Assembly, Sky-High Concrete Pumper) #4. "Diggers & Dozers" (Gray DVD) :: Play All, At the Construction Site, At the Demolition Site, At the Rock Quarry, Bonus Episodes (The Fire Trucks, In the City, At the Garbage Dump, At the Firehall) Some of these 'bonus episodes' are little snippits of what's on the other DVDs as you can see. Final Tip - Buy these as birthday presents for all your friends' kids and the kids will love you and the mom's will love you even more. Nothing better than a gift that gives mom some 'time' to get things done and teaches the kids something along the way. Just think the 'Hot off the Press' episode, which is about making newspapers. That might be obsolete one day and your child will have known was a newspaper was! Better than buying more toys for kids in my opinion! Every young boy should own a copy of this and the "Mighty Machines Super Pack" which I purchased as well.

I got the first one- Diggers and Dozers- at the local drug store for my grandson. He wore it out. He likes to listen to the theme song every time it plays between every episode, even has a little dance. So, for Christmas we got the Power Pack. It has the same one we had before an three other DVDs too. They are just the right blend of explanation and action to keep the kids watching. Kind of like a personal tour of the construction site, the race track, the airport, and on and on. Well made and kid friendly language. I would recommend for any 3-4 yr to 10 yr old who has ever watched a truck or tractor go by or a plane fly over and say "look Gramma!"

Our 3-year old boys started watching this when they were 2 and they are still riveted by the action! Their favorites are the Demolition Site, Concrete Truck, and the Firehouse. If your child loves anything with wheels, this is a must-have. The price is a real bargain for as many episodes that you get. It's not a cartoon, the camera follows REAL "big wheels" doing REAL jobs. Each truck provides it's own commentary in its own voice (which, admittedly, for adults can seem cheesy at times) and teaches all about the functions of the vehicle. Canada really got this one right, and the theme song is really catchy!!!

This was given to my son as a gift for his 2nd birthday. He loves it so much that he requests to watch it on a regular basis. It is very educational and describes things in a way that a child can relate and understand. The narration is told from the point of view of the diggers, fire trucks, race cars, etc. which is really neat. I have since bought it as a gift for 2 other children. I definitely recommend the Mighty Machines DVDs and plan to buy my son more in the future.

I got this video pack for my 21 month old because we are constantly having to find "backhoe" and "dump truck" videos for him on you tube and are never sure what we are going to be watching. He loves watching these videos. Although his attention span is less than an older child, he will sit with me and watch it for at least 20 minutes. I like that the 'Machines" are real to life and they describe what work is being done. Also it is nice that the video is not too busy for little ones that can be overstimulated with some of the other kids shows and videos that are out there.

My son has been watching Mighty Machines for the past year. He is turning 3 in a few weeks and I am completing his collection =) Best show I have ever seen. Very educational. I feel good about letting him watch it. He has learned so much from these shows and comments on different things he's learned from them when we are out running errands and he sees trucks, trains, construction sights. My 3 year old niece even enjoys watching when she is over, and she is not one to sit for a long period of time. HIGHLY recommend this series!

My 5 year old loves loves loves this DVD set! He has learned so much and it's actually very interesting stuff! It's calming so I even let him watch it some after reading ours book for the night and saying prayers. He has already looked through the whole DVD case and picked out which ones he doesn't have and is wanted me to order them. I hope Mighty Machines keeps making these because we almost have them all now.

The only thing my son loves more than candy is Mighty Machines. His ever growing DVD collection now has a gem and this is it. The best part is that I enjoy watching these too. Four 90 minute discs keep us entertained for a long time. Edit 2/5/16 Be careful when ordering these. 3 out of 4 discs don't work. Since I ordered these well before Christmas I can not return. Still 5 stars for the show but 0 for the manufacturer.

This is a must every single day in our house, Adrian is 4 years old and he is autistic, he jumps of joy every time he hears the main theme and tries to sing it (specially the part that says, "sit right down and see") !!!! we are almost in tears every time, since he is on speech therapy, this is a major milestone for him !, he tries to imitate some of the words so we couldn't be happier with this collection. And hey ! is not only for kids, I'm guilty of watching it non stop too !! they are so informative, honestly some episodes are more catchy that others but they all have something interesting, for example, I didn't know there was a super machine that could harvest grapes in seconds, or the way newspaper was made (they are from a different CD), and the little songs that the machines sing are so awesome. This was definitely the best present for my little boy.

One of the best ways to spend your money on a gift for a child who loves to learn about machines! (And this coming from a parent who only lets her kids watch a tiny amount of TV per day!) Truly, this power pack is the best bang for your buck with 4 DVDs in the pack, each with 4+ episodes. Fun and educational! The only disappointment to us is that the Mighty Machines theme song is not played for every episode. So far, we can only locate it on the bonus episodes. Disappointing because my kids really love and want to sing along.

Good

Great !
