We bought this for my son thinking it would be fun for him to pretend with the microphone and we can make little recordings of him etc. What a waste of money - it doesn’t even work. Yes, you can play the tape that comes with it but that isn’t what we bought it for, if we were interested in that we would have bought a regular tape player. The microphone is the PITS! It could never pick up my sons voice or even my voice for that matter, you have to speak directly into one particular spot on the microphone and then at best it plays back as a barely audible muffled sound, SO dissapointing! We thought the one we bought was broken so we returned it and got another, same exact problems. Junk!

This toy does not stand up. It doesn’t have good sound quality and it really isn’t worth the money. Find one that doesn’t keep falling forwards. Sorry, thumbs down. My son doesn’t even give it a second look now.

Immediately, one of the microphones lost it’s cap, DC converter I purchased will not run it, batteries do not fit in compartment correctly, and although it worked seemingly fine for about 3 days, it now is eating tapes like my three year old goes after cupcakes and the rewind button is having issues with staying on it’s sharp metal post! I am sending this back first thing tommorow and going on a new mission seeking a new WELL MADE unit. Very disappointed. Shame on Little Tykes for selling such an inferior product…Amazon, pull this off your shelves, it is junk and I know you think better of your customers than that.
