I ordered this product on a Sunday, considering they are 'closed' at the weekend, I was really impressed with the delivery times, it arrived on Tuesday. The Raspberry Pi Zero has become a rare find, and I was really pleased with the product, adapters etc. The case was tricky to assemble with no instructions, but if you use the numbers on each segment it is easy enough to line it up! Extra care had also gone into the packaging, everything had been carefully wrapped in 'sweet-shop' paper to give it a playful and unique feel. Originally I planned to delete my account after ordering, but after my satisfaction I will definitely be ordering more from you in the future.

Managed to snap up one of these great little zero boards before they sold out, yet again! I had an SD card set up with Raspian running on a Pi 3 , WiFi, VNC and ssh already running, so I just inserted that into the zero, attached a WiFi dongle to the mini USB data port via a spare mobile phone OTG cable and power from a usb power bank. Booted up first time and VNC connection is fast and stable (realVNC viewer). Very impressive for such a tiny device, 1ghz processor and half a gig of ram allows for powerful apps. Mathematica command line is great, and omxplayer plays HD videos perfectly. But the endless projects possible with the gpio pins make this an incredibly versatile device allowing for hours of fun experimenting and learning electronics and computing. Best ВЈ6.50 I ever spent (ВЈ4 + ВЈ2.50 p&p), feel like a kid again with my ZX81.

Excellent bit of kit with all you need. Used it to build an AirPrint server for my printer, works really well would recommend.

Purchased this kit with the intention of creating a Gameboy Zero Pocket. The Pi itself is miniscule and lends itself perfectly to the project, while the other goodies provide all the basics needed to test the software before installation. Fantastic product and service!

this is a great starter kit, good value all round, friendly helpful service from Pimoroni & predictable, quick delivery. Excellent - thank you. Although I knew the Pi Zero is small its still a surprise how small it is when you have one in your hands! Regards David

I have been after a Pi Zero and when they cam back in stock opted for this kit rather than looking about the place picking different bits. It came with everything I needed to start a project. Delivery was quick so not much waiting round either. Thanks Pimoroni.

I am very excited to finally be getting a raspberry pi. This kit is at a very reasonable price and it comes with all you need. The only bad thing is that I have to wait about a week to get my hands on it. xD

I bought this kit with a view to some development project I have at the back of my head. It is really a very nice kit. Assembly of the PiBOW case was the longest part - and that was simple. To try it out I thought I would substitute one of my several Pi 2 systems and chose one connected to a home weather station. This went very smoothly and I even had it updating the remote MySQL database without any issues. Once again - really nice - and I love the "innovative" packaging of the kit!
