We bought this for our son’s Christmas (he’s just turned 3yo). He loves to cook so we wanted to give him a kitchen. After reviewing several we chose this one because of its size and price.

The Good: Compared to other kitchens out there this one is reasonably priced. It was easy to put together on Christmas morning and our son is enjoying cooking all sorts of meals for us. The assortment of accessories that comes with it is really good and there are plenty of them to cook all sorts of items. The kitchen fits perfectly into a corner or equally well against a wall. It’s smaller than a lot of other kitchens we looked at which for us was good because of limited space.

The Bad: The talking terrified my son. I admit, it seemed kind of creepy to me too. I guess it was because the voice kept saying the same thing over and over if you didn’t respond in the right way. My poor boy tried to please the voice a few times then got frustrated and started to cry. NOT the desired effect for Christmas morning. Anyhow, we just disabled it and convinced him it would never come on again and he’s gotten over it. The other thing is that the fridge and oven doors won’t shut all the way and stay shut. It doesn’t bother me because I know we didn’t buy the deluxe model. It’s just a toy! It’s otherwise decent quality and will last through his time and his little brother too (yeah, I want my boys to love cooking - life skill don’t ya know).

We got this kitchen for our daughter’s 2nd birthday and she loves it. It was a pain to put together- getting the oven and refridgerator doors on was the hard part. It tells you which food you put on the cutting board and in the pan- but sometimes it is wrong. It will say “put the broccoli into the pan” and she does, and it tells her that she is wrong….Other than that- it is a great kitchen to play with and comes with great food and accessories!
