I got this item after having the letter set. I can definitely say it is older technology as the pieces are harder to place than the letter fit to the newer version. It also talks too much which could cause focusing problems. But it is very fun afterall as my 16 month old goes back to it again and again.
The only complaint, the door, once shut, is very hard to open.

I would have to 100% agree with Carrie from Massachusetts,

I too have the Leap Frog farm animal fridge magnet and I love the fact that I can turn down the volume or shut it off need be. It's all around a better toy.

From my point of view not only is this ABC food fun toy annoying, it's a nightmare.

I think it may just be a very poor design. We have to constantly remove the batteries just to turn it off. If we have forgotten to do so it will remind us at odd hours of the night to remove them.

It is supposed to have an automatic shut off when it is not in use for several seconds or so. Not so much for the one we have, ours is like the energizer bunny. It keeps going, and going,.........AND going!
It's just a pain. Although I think it's a very cute and an educational toy it's not worth 20.00 bucks and the hassle that comes with it for free.

For other parents, in the future I'd like to see Vtech add a volume control AND a SHUT OFF button.
~Cause when a toy starts driving yer KID crazzzzy......you know there's something wrong it.~

P.S. Thanks "in San Diego" for the good tip about the tape. I'm going to have to try that.....If that dosent work im sure the ole hammer trick will do it. (just kidding!)
Thanks again.

My almost 4 year old daughter is semi interested in this toy. We've had similar, like the leapfrog farm, letter and word whammers, so it was apparent how to use this. It is somewhat difficult for a toddler to get the food letter item into the fridge without bumping one of the three buttons above the space, and that screws up answering the question correctly and getting the desired praise. She seems a little confused when it does not respond as she expects it to. Making this about a third bigger would be desirable.
She does play with it for about 10 min at a time several times a day.
