Karen, Northampton , “Busy mum of two”

Score 7.0/10

+ Very good price and it all folds away into the carry case so it can be put away when your child isn't playing with it - ideal for those of us with limited space.

- Quite flimsy, so some parts that had to interlock were very difficult to get inti place as they were bent.

Jacqui, Cambridge

Score 8.0/10

+ The kitchen has provided hours of fun for my three year old grandson. He loves the talking hob and always puts on his chef's hat and apron before beginning to 'cook'. There are just the right amount of pans and utensils provided. I can see that the kitchen would pack away in to a conveniently small space, but it's played with too often to be put away.

- The oven door does not stay closed and too frequently flaps down without warning. The oven glove is much too big for a child's hand; it's too big for me! The oven shelf very quickly bent out of shape and now won't stay put.

Score 10.0/10

+ the ease of assembly - the looks - the likeness to real cookers - the noises - it is great

- Not massively bad but the oven door drops down and is in the way when children want to put anything in the oven, also the two side catches are a bit fiddly

+ educational value
everything for a 3 year old to help mum to cook a meal is included,including an apron and hat.
My granddaughter loves dressing up to play the part of cook.

- Assembly was a little bit difficult,but once set up, I would be happy just to leave it set up,rather than
take it down and re-assemble again.Although the pack away case will be handy.

+ This kitchen is great value for money - my little girl has been playing with it every day since Christmas day. She has learnt new words by describing the food that comes with it and has lots of fun making "dinner for mummy and Daddy". Very happy.

- It is quite flimsy when being used but other than that, good product.

+ Lots included for the price, e.g apron, oven-glove & chef's hat as well as pans, plates, cutlery & pretend food.

- Bought it because it was a 'fold-away' kitchen but doesn't actually fold away as easily as I thought it would.

+ Compact & easy to assemble. Sound is good and encourages the kids to play with it. The apron, glove& hat included were also great as part of the package.

- The only issue has been with the oven door, once assembled it does not really catch well and therefore the door does tend to fall open frequently, the kids can get a bit frustrated over this when it will not shut for them, it needs an adult to catch it right!

- It's maybe a bit on the flimsy side, not of the best quality, but for the money I would say you get what you pay for. As with most toys the volume is MEGA loud, which can get annoying after a while.
