4.0 out of 5 stars A solid 4! With an attention span of 8 minutes, my 2 year old loves it!, March 18, 2009

"Son, go make me a hamburger with ketchup please." Son runs to toy kitchen, fires up the grill, puts burger on the grill, flips it, puts burger on bun, adds imaginary ketchup, and takes burger to dad. Mmmmmm! Best imaginary burger I've had in years.

My son enjoys every aspect of this kitchen from the phone to the coffee maker to the very realistic grill (For a toy grill!).

This was a great purchase, and yes, it was the grill that sold me on this particular kitchen over all the others. My son has always enjoyed helping dad on the real grill, and now he has one of his own.

The ice maker could be better. It's difficult to load for my son, and sometimes difficult to dispense ice. It has to be loaded just right, but it works.

The doors aren't the best fitting, but plastic on plastic typically isn't anyway.

Assembly took about 30 minutes with my wife putting on most of the stickers besides the long one on top.

Assembly requires a drill simply to screw the many screws into the plastic. It wasn't difficult, but required two people at times to hold the kitchen still while the screw was being held in one hand and the drill in the other to get it started.

Works as described, and I'll probably buy an extra set of fake foods in the future. Plenty of storage under the grill and on the kitchen itself.

The cook top makes some good sounds, along with the grill. The flames on the grill are well done with a blower and red LED's. It would be nice if the kitchen faucet actually moved, but it doesn't. Costs had to be cut somewhere, and the makers/designers were pretty good about keeping the important stuff.

Overall, a solid 4 1/2 since it's plastic, the faucet doesn't actually move, and neither the dish washer nor oven have a rack.

I wouldn't mind at all if my son grew up to be a chef. At the very least he'll have an appreciation for the kitchen and cooking won't be a sissy thing to do. After all, he knows dad makes a great shrimp gumbo. :-)

Great purchase.

We looked at numerous play kitchens for my child. After countless hours looking in retail stores and pouring over the internet, we decided on this one. The price was right and it had everything we were looking for. I couldn't be more pleased with this playset. It only took about 1 hour to fully assemble, and it wasn't that difficult if you can follow directions. My little girl loves it! The sounds and lights on the burners and the grill are really life-like and work very well. This thing is very sturdy too. My daughter likes to open the oven and dishwasher doors and stand on them. It hasn't even come close to tipping. It has enough little pots and pans and accessories to keep your child busy playing. The whole set is hard plastic and is very easily wiped and cleaned off, so no concerns for maintaining this set.

The only problem we have encountered is that the little ice cubes sometimes get stuck in the dispenser.

As usual, the purchase from Amazon was painless, and the delivery was fairly quick considering the size of the box it came in.

After doing a month or so of research on the kitchens, we decided to go with the Sizzle N Serve because of the grill. I read other reviews, so I knew what I was getting into before it came. Delivery was fast which is always nice! The kitchen took hours to put together, no joke! There were no holes in the kitchen for the doors! We had to drill holes just so the doors could be put in. And they still don't close right or line up. The ice machine doesn't work right, the ice never falls out. There's no hook for the phone, but there's a hole on the phone to hang. For the money, this should be made better! But I'll have to say.. the kids still love it!
