Reception

Common Sense Media's Melissa Camacho wrote, "tweens may still be drawn to Furze World Wonders thanks to his high energy, sense of humor, and edgy inventions. ... It's more entertaining than educational, but there's still something to be learned from it." [4] Writing in Popular Mechanics , Avery Thompson said, "While this show is great fun with excellent pacing, it might leave something to be desired for fans of DIY builds. While there's lots of focus on planning and delivering the builds, the actual build process happens mostly behind the scenes. The best thing you'll get is a few timelapse welding shots and Furze explaining how the finished product works." [5]
