My 4 year old daughter had her heart set on a vacuum cleaner for her birthday. She had picked out the red Hoover vacuum which really works and picks up small trash off of the floor but is a Barbie freak so instead of buying the Hoover, we purchased the Barbie one thinking that it would be perfect for her. Much to our surprise, it only makes real vacuum noises. It does not really clean. We returned the Barbie vacuum and purchased the Hoover for several dollars less.

I spent a lot of time looking for a vacuum for my Daughter. She wanted one that worked. I had almost given up when I happened on to the Bissel barbie GoVac. It is a real reachargable Kid sized vacuum the same as there GoVac with one less handle piece and Barbie Design. It costs a little more, but you don't have to replace the batteries, which in the end saves you money!!

I hope this helps.

I got this vacuum for my daughter when she was 3 she is now 5 1/2. I decided on this one because it was Barbie and looked so pretty, actually resembles mine except for the colors. I just didn't see the point in insisting on getting her one that really vacuums. It is a toy after all, I have a real vacuum to clean up. Plus it seemed to me like just another thing to go wrong (something to get clogged or break). My daughter never missed that part of it, and has had fun just "pretending". It sounds like a real vacuum too.The only minor durability issue I had with it was that after a while the pedal for adjusting the handle broke. I'm sure it's probably from my daughter being too rough, forgetting to step on the pedal and instead forcing the handle to go back. Just something to watch out for; make sure that they know how to operate it. We still have this vacuum and after all this time my daughter often still gets it out to help me vacuum.

I bought this for my independent 2 1/2 year-old after she started trying to take my vacuum cleaner away from me as I was using it. Now she has her own and any time I start using mine she runs to get hers so she can vacuum with me. This toy is pink and white and decorated with daisies. It has a button on the base which the child can step on to lower the handle just like a real upright (although my daughter isn't strong enough yet to press it all the way down). There is a hose attachment on the side and a knob on the base that makes a clicking sound when it's turned. The power knob is on the back. When you press the pink button at the top, Barbie's voice announces, "Hi, it's Barbie. Let's vacuum." then a vacuum sound starts, the front lights up and little pink and white foam pebbles bounce around in the front window. The lights aren't very bright and the air that blows the pebbles isn't that strong so they sometimes get stuck, but my daughter seems most interested in the vacuum sound. She plays it over and over the whole time we're vacuuming.

My parents make my siblings and I help with chores (except for my 2 and a half year old sister Molly) and I was chosen to do the vacuuming, because they said that I was old enough. (11). Molly kept on coming in when she heard the vacuum and kept on trying to take it off me. So eventually I'd turn it off and (if I was in the living room) put her on the stairs, and put the child safety gate on the stairs. Well, as you can imagine, she cried and cried. Then after about 6 months of this, my parents got her the Barbie vacuum for her birthday. And she now vacuums with her Barbie vacuum with me at age five. (I'm 13!)

I bought this for my 2 year old and she has had so much fun with it for the last 4 years! Her younger brother and sister and a bunch of friends have all played with it and it still works great. They love to feel like they are helping me vacuum the floor. :)

I bought this for my little granddaughter..She loves playing house, kids will love it...

I got this for my nephew because he loves to vacuum. I know I should not since he is boy, but is he only 2. He loved it, and man did he put it through the ringers. It held up no problem. the Barbie voice is very annoying. which he loved to press the button over and over.

No educational value, but since I did not have to leave this at my house, I loved it. He had lots of fun.

I bought this for my daughter so she could get over her fear of the vaccum cleaner. Cute but sterotypical toy for female toddlers.

She now vaccums alongside my house keeper and doesn't have a fear of the vaccum cleaner.
