We LOVE this kitchen

Review Date: August 1, 2008

Reviewer: Moses' Mommy,

After much research, we recently gave this kitchen to our 2-year-old son, and we all LOVE it. It has already generated hours and hours of fun.

This product comes with the following extras: two bowls, two plates, two spoons, two knives, two special pans with lids (one sizzles, one boils- even making the sound of water hitting the burner!), two cups, one phone (which also generates sound), and salt & pepper shakers. (You will need to buy food.)

We chose this product for a number of reasons:
- It provides just the right amount of sounds. We wanted to have some sound effects, but not so many that it inhibited creativity. This has the perfect combo.

- The doors to the appliances open like real appliances-- unlike other toy kitchen sets we looked at.

- It is sturdy and a good height. He won't outgrow it for a while.

- There is plenty of storage space (three drawers and a cabinet- plus the refrigerator and stove), good counter space, and the cutest little dish shelf. Other kitchen sets offered extras such as dishwashers, but nothing in this range offered the same amount of counter and storage space. It really helps make it feel like a real kitchen.

The only cons:

- I wish it had a full-sized refrigerator, but most kitchen sets don't. And I knew that when I bought it, so I can't really complain!

- The "magic" burner which generates the sounds doesn't sit quite level. But it doesn't inhibit play, and our son hasn't noticed at all.

It did take my husband about an hour to put it together (with stickers), but he actually said he enjoyed putting this toy together.

All in all, we are thrilled with this kitchen set and know we made the right decision. It was well worth the money to hear my son yell while he is cooking, "I did it!" You can't go wrong with this kitchen!

NOTE: Check other websites. It may be cheaper elsewhere (i.e., Walmart- and with ship to store, there is not shipping cost).

Wonderful play kitchen!!

I've been researching alot of different kitchens for my 3 year old twin boys and finally settled on this one because of the sounds and the multiple compartments that open and close. My boys love transferring items here and there so they really enjoy all the drawers and appliances this kitchen offers!! When they saw it all set up in their play area today, they went straight over to it and stayed there for over an hour!! They are such boys because when they got tired of playing with food items, they started lining up their toy cars and helicopters on the shelf and they had alot of fun putting their vehicles in and out of the fridge and microwave! Of course they would never do this with real appliances...

When I initially saw the demo unit at the store, I almost didn't buy the thing because I thought the fridge, stove, and esp. the microwave was TINY!! But my son started playing with a floor model and he loved it and didn't seem to have any problem with the size of the compartments. There's actually more space behind the doors than I anticipated! That's another thing that I like, there is a LOT of storage space! Enough to hold all the extra food that we already had lying around the house. I do wish there was a bit more counter space though.

Assembly wasn't bad...things were put together quite easily (i do highly recommend a power drill) and I was thrilled that all the appliance doors were already on from the manufacturer! I know my boys are going to get endless hours of entertainment out of this toy!! I highly recommend it!!

Great kitchen - AWESOME Cust. Service!

I purchased this great little kitchen last year for my (then) two boys for Christmas. It is still one of their favorites. Unfortunately, my boys tried pouring water in one of the pots while on the "lights & sounds" burner. The pots have slits in the bottom, so the water went right down into the burner - burning it out. I called Step 2 with my credit card in hand prepared to pay an outrageous price for a new burner, the customer service rep. asked when I bought it - then told me it was still under warranty and that a new burner was in the mail for me at no charge! I am very pleased with the cust. service for Step 2, most companies try to charge for everything. So rest assured if you buy it - if something does go wrong you should have no problem getting it fixed!

Great kitchen!

I did a lot of researching before deciding to buy this kitchen for it's price, durability and long term play. I wanted this for my 16month old who is very curious when we cook and I am very pleased with my purchase. It was quite simple to put together - very few pieces and few screws, took less than an hour. The job was made easier by using an electric drill, although doing it by hand would have been fine too. The plastic is very solid & durable and my daughter loves opening all the doors and using all the accessories - she especially loves the realistic cell phone and the stove. I like the fact that is quite compact and does not have a lot of bells & whistles so she can use her imagination as well. My only complaint is that one of the drawers does not have a drawer stop - so everything spills out when she opens it. We have carpet in our playroom and it seems quite sturdy & stable against the wall. I bought this from [...] with their site to store option and also got Melissa & Doug's food to go with it, which appears to be more than plenty for now. I forsee 3-4 years of creative play ahead!

Excellent
