This is a wonderful toy!!! My daughter received MANY MANY toys.. being an only child and having three sets of Grandparents.. She had a lot of gifts.. but this was her favorite.. And it is worth the money.. but Santa got it for a lot less.. A LOT.. :) My husband and I have been playing with her all day! BUY IT!! You won't regret it..

My daughter wanted this desperately and it did not disappoint. She had tons of little peices to play with and they all keep neatly (thank heavens) in the cash register. The scanner will scan any bar code and list some number, so the kids love it. We spent hours going around finding bar codes on stuff and scanning it. I played with her for many rainy days, and when her friends come over, they can play together. Very cute.

Kids love this! The microphone is their favorite. The register has lots of debit cards, product cards and money. Of course, these pieces have ended up all over the house. The cash register is one of the better pretend toys the kids have.

Received as gift for 4 yr old. The card reader didn't work, nor the touch
keys on the left after selecting the "department". Exchanged at national toy store and realized that they replaced it with a different model. There was no scanner/scale on the left, the touch keys on the left didn't work at all, and no light on the hand scanner, the worst was the drawer that wouldn't shut when the coins were placed inside. So once again, returned it and found the original register that she received, no problems now-and everthing fit within. It really is a great toy. The larger cards help with pictures until she can read. I can't imagine the register without the touchpad function on the left side. It also has a touch key for gift card, and a play key for the on/off. I'm surprised the other models are selling for the same price. I would have returned it if not having found their last model like the one received.

This is the third cash register toy we've had and I like it the best. The different shopping cards and the credit, discount and gift cards to scan are a really neat feature. It's still a little difficult for my 4-yr-old to use because you have to be very number aware to get the full use of the toy, but that makes it interesting for even my 9-yr-old. The microphone is really fun, too. I like the fact that it's a relatively quiet talking toy; one cash register we have has a really high-pitched loud beep that quickly gets annoying. The two things I don't like are the hand scanner - while it's fun, it's too random. When you "scan" something, the cash register comes up with pretty outrageous prices like $129 for an apple. Also, the change does not fit in the change slots in the cash drawer. The coins stand up too tall for the drawer to be able to close, so we have to keep the change in one of the big cash tray slots. Overall, though, this is the best cash-register toy I've seen and I think we'll get a lot of use about it.

Although my daughter loves this toy, especially the microphone, I am disappointed with the quality. The "locking" cash drawer will not close at all when the change is inside and it is difficult to open when it is closed. I would not recommend this toy. I am considering returning it for a better designed cash register, if I can find one.

I bought this for my 5 year old and she does like it but I think it will be better when she gets older and she can read all of the buttons and cards. I didn't think about that when I bought it! She and my 2 year old get a big kick out of the microphone on it!

My kids like this toy. I agree with previous posters:
The coins don't fit in the drawer-you will be better off storing them elsewhere.
Otherwise you will not be able to open the drawer.
The scanner is indeed random, and will scan the same item at different prices.
BUT most kids who play with this toy will not notice, due to their age.
They ALL love the microphone and use this feature most often! And the amount of pieces this game comes with is great - loads of fake credit cards, money, etc. And I love the fact that it comes with a little sack/purse to store it all in!

My daughter loved this cash register, it has tons of cards to scan, savings cards, credit cards and money. Each card has a word and a picture until she is able to read the cards.

I have two complaint, the coins gets stuck in the cash drawer. Secondly the register randomly gives you a price for an item and if you scan that same item again, it will give you another price for the exact same item.

This toy, so far, has been worth the price we paid. Our 7 yr. old daughter is enjoying playing cashier. She is learning money counting and really likes talking in the microphone. The only problems we are having: (1) the pink quarters will not let the cash drawer close, so they have to stay out beside the register. (2) the cash drawer does not automatically "pop" open like a real cash register does. I was expecting this, and was more disappointed than our daughter was. These are our only complaints. This toy is fun & educational.
