Is the sand bothersome? Is it better to just empty the sand and keep the other items?

I like the sand ! Makes it look real beachy. It is in the bottom , as long as no one touches it it stays neat.

It is sort of like a dust buster mounted on a stick. I have not tried it with sand but to be safe you might want something with a more powerful motor.

I don't know about picking up sand. We use it in a small guest cottage and it works great there. We keep it in the cottage and it is small out of the way and available on demand. It works great and fits our needs very well.

The sand is quite fine, it may fog the aquarium, or get into the filter. I see where it would look nice if it worked.

Sorry, I don't know. We were using it for sparklers and had sand in the bottom of it..didn't have any problems.

You have to fill it up yourself, Don't worry though. You can fill it up with common sand, gravel, etc.

Not sure why you would use sand or dirt. We just clean ours with water. However, we did not save the box, so if it says to use sand, we wouldn't know it.

While in the wild, I simply go to a nearby stream or sand bed and use the sand the Earth provided to clean off the black. As one person already said, the black does make it conduct heat faster and so I don't worry to much about it most of the time.

Yes the sand is already in the hourglass. Not removable unless you break the glass either.

Yes. We filled our 's with water just in case we wanted to move it later. But they suggest filling it with either sand or water.

I've only used the sand for my grandson's small standup sandbox. The sand is very fine, clean, and soft. I hope this helps.

No I have both. Kinetic Sand is better, not as messy and the kids like it better. The moon sand I got smelled bad too.

use a small sewing pin and poke a few holes in a gallon zip lock baggie for storage. You can also do the same with a tupperware type container, poke some small holes in the lid to allow the sand to "breathe".

If the sand is packed well, then it is not too bad. But loose sand is very difficult.

You should probably sand. Take the extra time to get a result worth having.

I think so, you have to keep it very wet though. The sand might be a problem.

Yes. I haven't used it at the beach, but sand should filter right out of the bag.
