(...). I bought this toy on a whim when my son was about two, he loved it. Six months later, and he still loves it. He's played w/ it almost every day since. It comes w/ lots of pretend food to "cook" and "eat", as well as a place setting. There are 4 real timer buttons, each w/ different times that accurately elapse on the liquid crystal display. One button is for a bacon setting, one for soup, and one for popcorn. The fourth button is just a general timer. After pressing one of the four timer buttons, the start button needs to be pressed for the microwave to start "cooking". When start is pressed, your child will hear a woman's voice stating the item on the timer button they pressed. A small white light inside the unit illuminates, and the turntable rotates. As the last 5 seconds elapses, you will hear beeping; a small red light inside turns on, then off; the turntable stops; and the voice says "careful, it might be hot", or "bacon's ready," etc.... (...) As far as durability goes, the oven was dropped once from about 3-4 feet onto a hard floor- the door came off, but it easily snapped back on with no evidence of permanent damage.

My son got this 2 years ago (his was pink) and it lasted until just yesterday. Nothing broke off it simply stopped working. I have purchased this toy for 3 other children and they all played with it for hours. It'a a great toy for a boy if you aren't into the large kitchen and you can't beat it for [the]$!

My 18-month old son loves this toy! And what a deal at $10. It is quite realistic with a timer and turntable. While the timer is counting down a green light comes on which then turns red when the food is ready. And the included foods are cute and more nutritous items than some other playsets. This really has kept his attention and helped him learn to manipulate the buttons to make the oven work.

I bought this toy for my 2 and 5 year old girls for Christmas last year, I tried it in the store, and couldn't believe how realistic it was, the food that comes with it is great too! For the price I thought why not! My girls love things like this!
I'm very glad I bought this toy! My girls love it, and play with it all the time, my 2 year old even knows how to make it work, 9 months later and the toy still works as well as it did the day they opened it, and the fact that they still love it, makes me happy about my choice!
This is also a very durable toy, it has been dropped many times, and my girls like to fight over who is going to get to play with it! I may end up buying another one to save some of the arguments. It's durable, fun, cute, and educational, you cant go wrong!

Well, since everyone has already summed up the basics of this toy, I won't. I don't usually buy cheap either. But this toy is great. Door opens and closes really well and with ease. Doesn't ever feel like it's going to fall off the hinges like a little blue washing machine I looked at.
I have 3 little ones that use this. Ages 18mos, 3, and 6. They all love it. Even the 12 year old thought it was "cool" since everything works like real. Even she can have "tea parties" with the little ones.:)
Anyway, the 18mos old has thrown it, dropped it, banged it, bumped it, and most of all, (besides of course cooking in it) it has been used for a step stool. My 3 yr old on the lighter side also uses it for a step stool quite often. My kids are usually quite gentle with their toys but for some reason, this toy gets the brunt of it. Oh Well, who cares? It's lasted for the last 6 months and looks like it will hold up a lot longer! LOVE IT!

My ds is very excited about this toy. I'm very excited because this (and all the other toys I've seen from "Just Like Home") has actual food you can make at home - not hohos, Krispy Kreme donuts and ice cream, like most sets have.

I think this toy actually encourages an interest in real cooking and real foods, and we live in an area where space is at a premium, so the small size is a necessity. It's great! I highly recommend it.

We just bought this toy yesterday along with a big Little Tikes Kitchen for our 3 yr old. She has been playing with this little microwave like crazy, and only fiddled with her new kitchen! It was well worth the $10 for the hours of play our daughter has already spent with it. The only drawback I can find is that the volume is a little loud, and there is no adjustment for it. But to a kid, this is a plus! :)

This is a great toy to add to your kitchen/play house toys. My kids really like it and its quite realistic.

My daughter received this when she was 3 and still continues to play with this more then any other of her kitchen toys. It is such a great value and the microwave continues to work well and the voice still continues to warn her of hot plates. It is a toy that any boy or girl from ages 2-5 would LOVE. Highly recommend it!

I purchased this for my 20 month old daughter because she loves to pretend play with tea sets, dishes and her little kitchen. She loves it. It is just like the real thing with it's realistic turntable, light and timer. The play food is a bonus. All this for only ten dollars. An incredible toy for the money!!!
