I love this toy. But my daughter is two and she has a hard time pushing the lever down to get the play doh out. I love it and am more then willing to play with her and help her out til shes old enough to do it on her own

Good item to have in your collection if your kids like to play with playdoh. The only complaint I have is that the unit doesn't have any kind of grippies on the bottom to keep it from slipping across the table. This may not be an issue for older kids, but both of mine are under 3.

My daughter loves the Fun Factory. She could play with it for hours if you let her. I love how it is a more traditional Play-Doh toy. It allows for more imaginative play.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good PlayDoh toy May 26, 2010

My 3-yr old likes playing with this PlayDoh toy. She can stuff the play-doh in the pump mechanism and can usually pump it out herself. The only problem is that the play-doh gets stuck in the cracks and it's really hard to get out. Then it gets crusty and you have to chip it out. For the price, it's a great value. The attachments offer lots of options to squeeze the PlayDoh out with. It's a fun toy overall.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun for kids, less so for adults December 31, 2011

Fun for the kids, but kind of a pain to clean. Lots of tight places where the Play Doh gets trapped. Also, it could use some rubber feet to prevent slipping. There are holes on the bottom that seem to be where rubber feet should go, but none are present, nor are they included in the box.

My daughter accidentally separated the arm from the base, but it was easy enough to reattach. However, if one of the plastic pins happens to break, it will become useless.

In summation: fun, but kind of frustrating.

5.0 out of 5 stars It turns out the Play-Doh fun factory does actually manufacture fun March 9, 2011

My two kidlets (ages 3 years and 19 months) both love Play-Doh and they especially fight over the "dat squish pway-dow fing." So if you have two kids who struggle with concepts like sharing, or not hitting their sibling over the head for failing to share, then buy two of these.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good basic Playdoh set December 19, 2012

By C. J. Lambert

This is the same set we had with our now 38-year-old daughter and she always enjoyed it but times have changed and our not-quite 2-year-old grandson found it difficult to manipulate and pretty much ignored the press and templates. We will store this one while he enjoys his absolute favorite Diggin, Rigs Power Crane Playdoh set. I think he's just a bit too young for this one and lacks the dexterity to use the templates and extrusion press.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed October 3, 2012

I've already written a review for the seller. I felt totally tricked by purchasing this product. It shows a huge discount, which made be think it would be more substantive. I wouldn't pay more than $5 for this in a store. It's two small cans of playdough and and a very small "fun factory" which is very flimsy and is hard for small kids to use because it slides around the table. All kids like playdough, so my kids will keep using this, but not worth the price on Amazon, and definately not the $20+ toy that they suggest that it is. I did a quick google for the price it sells at stores: right around $6-$7.
