I was a little leery about buying this because of the reviews but I am happy with it so far. The 2 and 4 year old both like and can play with it. The on/off button is a different color so they easily learned how to turn it on and off without help. The scanner is easy to pick up and hold and we haven't had trouble with the length of its cord. The microphone amplifies nicely and does not distort the kids' voices too much.
The scanner is reasonably easy to use but it's not totally clear what to expect from it. You are supposed to line up little arrows on the stickers with arrows on the scanner, suggesting that each barcode sticker is supposed to give a specific readout, but we've found that a given barcode will produce different "readouts" on successive scans. It's not a problem for us: the kids are just happy to get a response from the machine. But I could see how with older kids they might find that annoying. I would have liked more specific instructions about what to expect from the barcodes.
We did find that we could draw fake barcodes on index cards with a black sharpie, and the scanner recognizes those and produces a readout. That makes me very happy as it means we do not have to go out of our way to save the barcode stickers and that the machine will still be fun when we DO run out of stickers. Also presumably one could photocopy the barcode sheet that comes with the toy, and just cut out the barcodes and tape them to objects.

This is a pretty cool toy. Comes with play money (coins and bills), credit card and bar-code stickers. Pros: The ability to scan the credit card through the slot seems to be the most fun. Each time you scan it the cash register calls out a dollar amount. Opening and closing the register was also a big hit. Cons: The microphone cord is way to short. You must by face-to-face with the register to use the microphone; nevertheless, this feature is fun. The bar-codes, which are meant to stick onto various items, don't scan so well. Overall, this product is very enjoyable; maybe on the pricey side @ $39+, but still fun.

A Kid's Review
This is the BEST. This register my uncle gave me is the best ever. It has everything. It talks to me. It has a real scanner and it really does work on the bar codes that come with my register. And it says the price out loud on the speaker too. And it has a microphone that is loud and works great. I love to say "price check" in the microphone. Plus, it has lots of money and coins and a credit card slot that talks to me too. This is the BEST register that Toys R Us sells because it has EVERYTHING!!!!!

Great!
This is a great toy! Well-made, user friendly and priced right. I compared to others and this one was better by far. My grandson (4) loves it. Would recommend it highly.
