Purchased this breadboard as a hobbyist expanding my knowledge in electronics.

The board itself is nicely sized (large), and allows for pretty decent sized circuits to be constructed. Basically, it is 4 standard breadboards side by side, with an additional bus strip run horizontally on the top, all connected to a solid backing. 4 binding posts allow for additional external components to be connected. It looks like it should last quite a while if treated well.

The jumper wires are of a very wide length of sizes, and allow for easy color coding when working in complex circuit prototyping. The box the come in (clear instead of the blue shown) allowed for easy organizing of the different sizes.

Overall, it's a pretty good combo, and reasonably priced for the size of board you get. Other than that, it's not too complicated of an item, so there's not really much else to say. 2 Thumbs up!

Nice sized bredboard for beginners. Big enough to stretch out and even comes with a bunch of pre-shaped wires. The poll pieces seem a little flimsy but so far have proven to be just fine.

I wasn't expecting much. Sorry Elenco but I never really considered Elenco to be top of the line stuff. This breadboard exceeded my expectations. The boards are mounted well and the holes seem like they will stand up well to constant use.

When putting on the banana jacks notice they are keyed both top and bottom. Line upt the flat ends in the hold when you tighten and they will stay in place.

I'll buy again and won't turn my nose up at Elenco products without trying them.

Honest reviews on Elenco 9440 Breadboard With JW-350 Jumper Wire Set

As many people noted, it's a breadboard so there's not much to say. The contacts I've used so far are all electrically sound, and I'm very happy with my purchase. My only nits, and thus a 1/2 star deduction (if Amazon allowed for a 4.5 star rating, that's what I would have given it), are:

1. The adhesive on the little rubber feet wasn't up to the task. I ended up having to dot them with some CA glue.

3. The kit comes with 4 feet, presumably one for each corner. Given the size of the board, it would have been nice to have gotten a 5th foot to place in the center for added support.

2. The 4 power terminals, unlike the rest of the board, are... cheap. It's hard to describe what I mean, but suffice to say one notices material quality, or lack thereof, as compared to the rest of the board.

I guess you can consider the added jumper kit either a great value, or an overpriced stand-alone (see Elenco 350 Piece Pre-formed Jumper Wire Kit). You can buy this same breadboard on Amazon for a $1.30 less if you don't want the pre-cut jumper wire set 9440 Breadboard-Prototype Design Aid, but personally I think this wire kit for that price delta is money very well spent... if only for the little parts box*. Needless to say, I'm in the "great value" camp. In fact, if I could get just the case w/ jumpers for $1.30 as a stand-alone, I'd order several more.

*DISCLAIMER. Who knows if this pricing will hold in the future. Do yourself a favor and compare before buying.
