Real-Food Appliance Reviews

My daughter plays with this non stop. She loves to bring us coffee and toast. I would highly recommend this toy!

I was really happy with this after is arrived. I bought it from Amazon for the classroom where I work (full of 12 busy and bustling toddlers) to add to our play kitchen space. The sounds and the actions make it seem like the real thing and give kids plenty of room to use their imaginations. Would definately recommend - maybe not for the busy classroom like mine since it is only a $20 set, not too durable, but for the ordinary family it would be perfect.

My primary reason for buying this Little Tikes Breakfast Set was to match the Cookin' Sounds Kitchen Santa brought our 3 year old. This set comes with a coffee pot, toaster, 2 slices of "toast", plates, 2 cups and saucers, sugar, creamer, 3 spoons (one for the sugar and 2 for the cups), one plate, a butter knife and cutting board. The coffee pot takes batteries and when your little one presses the button on the lid, it makes a percolating sound. Also, the toaster has a spring mechanism so that it actually pops out the toast.
If it were up to me, I would have included a few more cups and saucers, but I guess kids aren't concerned about complete table settings. Besides, Little Tikes also sells a Cookin' Fun dish set (which I also bought!!).
On its own or to coordinate with the kitchen set, this breakfast set has gotten quite a bit of play since Christmas morning...my husband and I are served coffee all day long!

My little girl is 3. She got one at christmas time as a gift from her Aunt and she loves it. Its very durable and educational. She always loved helping her Pop make coffee in the mornings for her Nana so now she gets in the kitchen with him and makes it with her coffee maker using water and she has a ball with it. She likes the fact it turns on (the light) you can put water in it and the water drips down in the pot like a real one. Its an awesome toy. Im gonna buy more toys like this one. It keeps her occupied for hours, and also she can carry it anywhere and play with it. Its great. Your kids will love it!!

My 2 year old is very interested in his fathers coffee maker. When I saw this I just knew it would be a big hit. HE LOVES IT. The fact that it actually puts water through into the coffee pot is the best part. He plays with this for hours. He also feels like a big boy learning to pour. Great for learning fine motor skills such as pouring a liquid.

I bought this for my son when he was 15 months old, and he loved it right away. It holds his attention for hours...amazing! The three doors on the bottom open and close w/o worry for pinched fingers, which satisfies his need to open and close things all day long. All of his friends love it too! A suggestion though, this exact item is $79.98 at Toys R Us.

We bought this for our daughter (then 15 months) at christmas time. It has been the first thing she goes to every morning since. It is so realistic and fun, she loves pretending to cook and do dishes. We have bought some more play food since christmas and the cupboards have plenty of room to store it all! I think this is one of the best big ticket items you could buy....and will grow with your child for years to come! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

My 2-year-old daughter got this kitchen for Christmas and loved it! I loved the fact it didn't have many little pieces like the other play kitchens had. The kitchen comes with pretend food, however there are no pots, pans, or utensils. Littles Tikes makes a set for this kitchen with pots and pans-I would recommend buying it. And Little Tikes = DURABLE. The stove, faucet, microwave all make true to life noises. And my daughter loves to poke her head through the window. My husband and I put it together ourselves. It took us about an hour, not that difficult. My daughter loved it because it was so much like Mommy's kitchen. I have no complaints whatsoever. This toy was well worth the money we spent ($100 at Toys R Us around Christmas). My daughter had peeled off some of the stickers (she does that to all her toys) and Little Tikes sent me replacement ones for FREE! This is a MUST BUY!

exactly what I expected - size, quality... My girls love it, and just as I thought based on the manufacturer's review, it DOES say "be careful, it's hot" when the time is up.

My 22 month old daughter loved to open and close our microwave so we decided to buy her one of her own she loves this! she got it for x-mas and plays with it everyday she put everything in from her play food to scooby doo and cooks them

There is no voice that says, "careful its hot" as it states in the description of this item, though.

I bought this after my son developed a love for our microwave. He is totally in love with it, and it keeps him occupied for much longer than I thought it would. He gets the biggest kick in putting stuff inside, watching it go round, then "eating" it when it's done.

It's smaller than I expected it to be, and while the turntable does turn and the light comes on, I have yet to hear the voice that says "careful, it's hot" as stated in the description.

It's nice and durable. My son is just under 18 months old and like to throw stuff. This has lasted well and suffered no damage even though it's been thrown from one end of the living room to the other.

I am usually a fan of DLink products but they really dropped it on this so called bridge. This is absolutely not a bridge. If you are looking for speeds slower than 802.11b this would be perfect but DLink insists on using terms like "turbo" and "extreme" Two tin cans and a piece of string communicate more effectively than two of these relatively pricey units.

Having this DWL-G810 Wireless Bridge is a great addition to any network ready device. I have this wireless bridge configured to connect to my network with 108Mbps speeds, and I can plug and unplug this into any network ready device. For example I've plugged it into my Playstation2, my computer in the garage when I want Internet access, a laptop when my friend came over, and even my Dad's PDA with Ethernet adapter installed.

The setup is rather simple, just follow the instructions, reboot the box and plug it into whatever you want. Just make sure it is within range, and sometimes fiddling with the antenna helps with the signal.

OK. I have DI-624, DWL-G650 and DWL-G810.
I connected my KISS DP-500 Network DVD to the DWL-G810 and everything is working perfect, but you will need to work with settings for a few minutes.

DI-624:

Firmware - 2.42
Open System
WEP Disabled (#1)
TX Rate - Auto
Transmit Power - 100%
Beacon - 100
RTS - 2346
Fragmentation - 2346
DTIM - 1
Preamble - Short
SSID Broadcast - Disabled (#2)
802.11g only - Disabled
CTS - Auto
Super G Mode - Super G with Dynamic Turbo

DWL-G810:

Firmware - 2.12
Static IP
No Gateway Address (#3)
Infrastructure mode
WEP Disabled (#1)
TX Rate - Auto
Authentication - Open System
Super Mode - Super G with Dynamic Turbo

#1 - First you can try with security settings disabled and later you can enable security.
#2 - Guys: broadcast SSID is NOT necesary! No security issues!
#3 - this is the key!

Unplug both devices and it's done!

I passed up on several other vaccuums to get my son this one and it is just boring. Barely makes a loud enough sound that hardly sounds like a real vaccuum. The beads that spin on the hand held part are just as boring (could have been more spinny, more colorful)and it lacks a button on the side so child can push down with foot to angle it so child can "vacuum". Pretty lame especially considering that it's pretty expensive.
