    Worthless

    It is exactly as the name suggests, an absolutely useless box. It’s fun for about 5 minutes and then acts as a random conversation piece. With the guaranteed question of, “why did you spend mo day on something like that”?

    Works

    I was excited to get this as a gift for someone because of how silly it is. I had read reviews saying it didn’t work but decided to try my luck. When I first got it, it didn’t work. I made sure I had put batteries in it and flipped the switch to on before using it, but it didn’t move. After forcing the arm once it started working. It’s a fun little thing although it could be cheaper.

    Best gift for everyone!

    My 10 year old daughter bought this for fun and she feels like when she is anxious or her adhd is flaring this helps her. So I had to buy a second one and sent it to my 35 year old sister. This past year has been hard on all of us. She received it and said it’s the best gift she has ever gotten!!! We love this box!!!!

    Absolutely useless, Great Item

    This box is absolutely useless, just like its name says.Perfect head scratcher, leaving everyone asking WTF?Great for the man cave.Push the switch on, arm comes out and pushes the switch off.

    It is what it’s name implies

    Aside from saying it is a “Useless Box” on the title, it did not give much details at to what is or does, so I bought it due to curiosity. Some reviewers said it brought them hours of fun and laughter… some people are easily amused.Well, the title was correct, it certainly is a useless box. Flip the switch and a arm will reach out from inside the box and flip the switch back off… and that is it! It gave me a good 0.5 seconds of amusement from the time I flipped the switch to the time it was flipped back off, and waiting for something else to happen.Curiosity killed the cat, and bored the impulse buyer. Good thing it was cheap. 😉

    Awesome!

    Great gift! Eventhough it’s useless it’s hard to resist to the will to press that button. It brings a smile or a laughter on everyone’s face. The seller was amazing as the first box didn’t work. He sent immediately another one for no extra charge. Thank you.

    It’s exactly as advertised

    You flip the switch, it shuts itself off. Simple as that. Good desk toy/ stress relief. Takes two AAA batteries and some boredom for pointless fun.

    I dare you to walk past this box without flipping the switch. It makes me smile every time. Buying a second one as a gift.

    This is what you get the boss

    I bought this Calary Useless Box as a gift for my boss and it was a huge hit! All the guys at work played with it all day. He finally took it to his office to hide it. The end of the day he said the batteries were dead. To be fair my family played with it for 5 days before i gave it to him.The box is very easy to use. You simply press the PUSH button and a finger pops up to turn off the button. The box then automatically shuts down. It is very entertaining and funny to watch. I box that should not be fun but is.Overall, I would highly recommend the Calary Useless Box to anyone who is looking for a hilarious and unique gift. It is a great value for the money and a guaranteed way to make someone laugh

    Useless box

    Great gag gift. My husband has been having so much fun with his. It is quite hilarious how it pushes itself off. He thought that it was so funny that he bought a couple for gifts.

    It’s a useless box, but fun.

    Pretty decent made, just add batteries and let your friends get amused.

    Bit fast, but served the purpose

    Work with a bunch of hardware engineers, who occasionally design new boards that when powered, turn themselves off. (Easy to do with a chain of signals when “on” is sometimes negated.) Offer this box as a token.Works for the intended purpose. :)Though … the action is much too fast. We just do not get the full amusement value. Need to throw in a capacitor and/or inductor, somewhere.

    It’s a fun lil thing

    It works well! Just a little scary adding or removing the battery since it’s such a tight squeeze but it’s really fun to play with!

    Just what it says, “Useless” 🙂

    The media could not be loaded.

     My daughter begged for this for Christmas!! BEGGED! I just couldn’t do it. I caved for her birthday. While i really is so simple and silly, it is oddly satisfying. I just want to keep watching it shut it off. She was so excited. It comes out when we have company and they too giggle and find it satisfying. We are just a bunch of easily amused people I guess.I didn’t realize it but my daughter did and mentioned it a few days after getting it. It has a crack next to the switch and was there the first day. It is more noticeable as it has been used more. I noticed in the reviews of this and other useless boxes this was a common issue.

    Kids loved it but broke in 2 days

    My kids were so excited to get this and by day 2 It was brine. The inside mechanical parts could be a little sturdier. But they definitely got a kick out of it.

    Did not work.

    The robot mechanism inside the box does not have enough power to even flip the switch again. I didn’t even know how to fix this problem. It really is a “Useless Box”.

    I got this for my roommate and we’re both thrilled. It takes two AAA batteries to create endless delight. The box looks very nice and is pretty sturdy. No issues with shipping. Highly recommend for the easily amused

  32. Cnc Jim –

    Works as described, but too fast.

    I just run it on a single AA battery and it works a bit slower and gives a better effect. Put a small jumper wire in place of one of the AA batteries. Can also cut a piece of aluminum or steel the length of a AA battery and place that in one of the battery slots. Easy to add a small skeleton hand to the clear plastic hand/finger for cooler effect. Well made. Something to mess with the grand kids brains when they can’t keep their little hands off things in my office. Ha!

    Keep people busy

    Bought for my ex wife for Christmas. She hasn’t called to fight since, due to she is so occupied with this box that does nothing but turn a switch off. Wish it has some supper battery cause I know when the battery dies she will get bored and call to pick a fight for no reason at all.

    Way to fast

    The description does nothing to describe the lightning fast mechanism. In the past, I have seen these boxes that have the hand that shuts off the switch move slowly. This box moves so fast it is difficult to actually see what happened. The description deliberately does not describe the action. Disappointing but still somewhat fun for the recipient.

    Great gift if you don’t know what to give someone

    My dad is tough to buy for. He’s not picky, he just has simple taste and can pretty much buy whatever he wants. I got him one of these boxes, and he loves it! Makes him laugh every time!

  36. Carol Klein –

    Not fun.

    I hoped this would be a fun gag gift for our family Pollyanna. It was smaller than I expected. My fault, I didn’t read the dimensions in the description. I put batteries in to try it out. It only worked some of the time, and when it did work, the action was so fast you could hardly see it. I envisioned a hand coming out of the lid and mysteriously turning the switch off. Instead a little lever pops out and pushes the switch off. As I said, it happens too fast. Not fun or entertaining. I returned it.

    So simple yet so entertaining

    I like to send my fiancé random things and this one is by far my favorite. Perfect random gag gift to sit on his desk at work and entertain clients. Works perfectly no issues.

  38. Laura –

    So useless

    Completely useless and fun. I gave 3 stars for durability, but if it’s sitting on a desktop and you flip the switch 50 times a day, it’ll be fine. If you let your kids toss it in their toy box, not so much.

    Arrived broken (“thingy-no-workie”)

    Mechanically it arrived DOA. It didn’t work, I had to buy a second to get one functioning example. That said, it IS a useless box. The only thing MORE useless than a fully operational one of these is an inoperable one of these. Letting my daughter talk me into buying this is like intentionally force feeding myself cardboard flavored ice cream just for the brain freeze.

    Mom’s delight

    I gave this to my mom as she told me she was getting bored looking at spreadsheets all day and just needed a few minute break every so often. She loves it and giggles like a little girl when she plays with it.

    Didn’t work upon arrival

    The product did not work upon arrival. After putting multiple sets of batteries in, and switching on the mechanism inside it still wasn’t working. There were no instructions for use included. My husband found that there was a point on the mechanism that looked like it wasn’t making a connection, so he had to bend a piece of the metal to get it to work. He got it working and I gave it as a gift to a coworker. The recipient loved it and it is a really fun little desk accessory to play with, but I’m not happy that it wasn’t working when we got it. In the end, it is definitely a good gift, but it would have TRULY been a useless box if my husband hadn’t been able to get it to work!

    maybe not so useless after all…

    fun to fiddle with and keep your reaction skills sharp. works half decent as a stash box too :)the fit and finish is halfway decent.i removed one star because there are cracks around the screws on one of the hinges. also the switch pusher is slightly crooked.i’m satisfied overall with my purchase.

    Good little gift.

    The media could not be loaded.

     Bought 3 for gift. Pretty good quality. Put in 2AAA batteries and that’s it. I like the mechanism speed, not too fast or slow with new batteries.As in another review, one didn’t work initially, but working the mechanism by hand “unlocked” it.Would buy again. Buy more useless boxes…

    Good Gag Gift!

    Fun gag gift.takes 2 AAA batteries. 1 of which is a little tight to put in, but manageable.The only downfall I can see is the mechanics act too quick when you press the button.It should have a second or two delay before the reset action. It hits the button while your finger is still on the switch. It acts immediately when you flip the switch and I mean immediately….

    Fun toy for a few minutes

    Worth it for the grandkids to play with. It is well made. My only complaint is that the mechanism moves too fast. Would be more fun if you could watch the finger come out and flip the switch, but it moves so fast you hardly know what happened. Might get better with half depleted batteries. But the batteries do last a long time so we may not know for a while.
