I was so excited to purchase this table for my daughter & also my preschool classroom.  I set it up 100% to the instructions, brand new batteries.... it worked maybe for 10-15 minutes and that was it..... next day tried and nothing.  replaced the batteries as there was water ALL IN THE COMPARTMENT..... with a bunch of impatience toddlers it was sooooo disappointing.  I cleaned it out to try again a while later and nothing.  Fast forward a year.... we have tried again.... and it worked for another 5 minutes and that was it.....
