Claw grabber toy arcade machine suggestions

Hi all. My lo wants an arcade style claw machine having seen one in Smyth's but I was hoping for personal recommendations for one that's actually good at grabbing stuff. Extra points if the music can be turned off 😅

My son had a global gizmo one last year from tesco. Works pretty well. Not sure if the music can be turned off...but ive found on other things a good blob of blu-tack over the speaker makes things much more tolerable.

Ive just had a look. Yes, there are 3 play settings. Loud, not so loud and silent. Which is probably why it's still in the house after a year! It has been very well used. Sweets, little toys from arcades, pipe cleaners rolled into loops, those eggs/balls that you can open and put notes in are also good. I think it was £20
