The sheer amount of un-constructive comments here.. my goodness.
This is a cool product. Seen it demonstrated live. Mouth-feel is somewhere between jello and fish eggs.
Yes, the chemicals (salt and calcium) are included and required. No, there's no taste to them. No, they're not harmful in any way.
The amount included goes a very, very long ways. You'd be hard-pressed to exhaust all of them in a year.
The original flavor of what you are "sphericating" is retained. However, high-calcium (base) liquids won't work here; ie: you can't do this with milk/cream.
It is a novel toy, but can be fun for parties and creative dishes.
Chef's have been doing this for years, but it required them to use a syringe underwater, which was very time consuming. This thing CRANKS them out very very fast.
Must wash after use.

ChadMCarletonI'm not saying it's not cool, the issue I have with this product is that it doesn't make the process any less easier.
You should re-evaluate your product strategy if your product can be replaced with a $0.20 eyedropper.
Sure you can make 700 perls per minute but that's not something someone for home use would be interested in.
You can pick up all the chemicals for cheap and just make the spheres yourself for a fraction of the cost. As I'm writing this you can pick up 114g of sodium alginate for $11.95, 226g of Calcium Chloride for $7.95 and 20 eye-droppers for $3.99
So at less than half the cost of this machine you can do this yourself at home.

Harsha1306Sure, it is novel, but plenty of Kitchen items are novel and are still purchased. This does have better implications in foodservice settings.
I wouldn't discount convenience though.
Wood is free, but I doubt you burn it each time you need to cook something. That wouldn't be practical. I think this product is still practical.

In reality, what could be more unpleasant than eating raw fish eggs?
Making damn near anything else one could eat, look like raw fish eggs, and then eating that too.
Once upon a time, someone coined the phrase "pearls of wisdom"--pretty sure this isn't what they were referring to.

RayFI take it you don’t like sushi either then, where salmon eggs are frequently used and look nice

So many questions, for example:
Is the size of a single pearl constant?
Are these included chemicals required?

Sorry, what is the definition of chemical here?
If by chemicals you mean stuff that might cause cancer then yeah, no California Proposition whatever number here.
But as the OP commented, chemicals, meaning any chemical compound, independent of origin, need to be used to form the spheres as you need to agglutinate something that usually does not.

AndreugvAlmost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium.
It's amazing that not a lot of people know that we are composed of these "chemicals". From the water (H2O), salt (NaCl), to the every single piece of everything are made out of chemicals. Like everything else, too much of something can be bad for you. And due to everybody's "chemical" reaction and exposure to these elements, thats where things can go awry.
Q: What did the bartender say when oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, sodium, and phosphorous walked into his bar?
A: OH SNaP!
