Real looking kitchen
Great kitchen set! The frige is roomy and holds food. The kitchen stove and dishwasher are nice. They have sizzling sounds and the oven makes sounds too. The oven sounds are a bit loud though. Nice set though.
Rather loud and annoying to play with.
I bought the Loving Family Dollhouse for my almost 4 year old twins for Christmas. This is one of the sets I bought them to go with it. After you press the oven button and it makes the bubbling noise, about 30 seconds after it is done making that noise, it makes the sound of a ringing phone. My kids were not really into all of the sounds, and I think that detered them...

The kitchen set is one of the more expensive loving family room sets to buy, which can be attributed to the light and sounds. The central oven display is a button that when pushed makes sounds of coffee brewing, water running, food cooking on the range, the oven timer beeping, and the phone ringing. However, the sounds are a little loud and it's a bit hard to distinguish between the coffee, water, and cooking sounds. The set comes with its own battery that is easy to change and is the standard AA size.
The dishwasher has a rack that can be 'slid' out when the dishwasher door is opened. We've found that it's pretty tricky to get it to move much at all. The coffee pot and cooking pot are attached to the countertop with a short tether. The oven door opens and the oven light goes on when it's opened. The oven timer also beeps whenever the oven door opens. The muffins/muffin pan that comes with the set fits on either the top or bottom rack of the oven. There is also a phone on a tether that snaps into a hanging cradle. My daughters (3 1/2 and 2) have no problem getting the phone off the cradle but don't have the dexterity of getting it back on yet.
The refrigerator has sliding vegetable bins, room for putting food on the shelves, and both a refrigerator and freezer compartment. Our girls like taking the included pizza out of the freezer and baking it in the oven.
There is also a purple rug, some food for the refrigerator (one molded piece), and a double high chair for the twins complete with a spoon (on a tether) and a bib for each. The bibs are relatively easy for little fingers to place around the babies necks, but it's a little tricky to get the babies into the high chairs. It takes some maneuvering and adjusting of the babies legs.
One of my favorite tie-ins is that the Twin Time Dollhouse with Bonus Set includes a "wet bar" with high-back chairs, towel, and tray with cocoa and cookies that match the kitchen set. This starts to make the room look like a real kitchen when you add a counter and chairs to eat at. There isn't a lot of room to get the combined pieces all into one space, but it fits decently on the extra fold-down floor space on the bottom central room in the twin time dollhouse (if you don't mind the chairs being on carpet).
Even though this was one of the more expensive sets, there was little hesitation in our buying it. First, what's a house without a kitchen? Second, my girls loved playing with the set even in the package at the store where they pressed the button repeatedly (you can always take out the battery, right?). Finally, the set has the perfect balance of detail and simplicity (just like the other room sets) to keep my girls interested and playing with it again and again.

We purchased this set for my daughters, ages 1 1/2 & 3, for Christmas and it has really been a fun addition for their dollhouse. The set is really cute & they enjoy pretending to cook. I agree with the other reviews that the sounds coming from the oven (a timer), the boiling water & the telephone are just a little bit too loud. This seems to be the case with all of the Loving Family dollhouse furniture sets that make noise. They either need a volume control or just to turn down the volume to begin with. The set is really cute, though, and I love the fact that it is very new-aged with the stainless steel appliances. The dishwasher is cute, but the rack is a little hard to get out & push back in. The double highchair is cute, but I agree with the other reviewer that it is a little hard to put the babies into- you have to work at it a little while. I would purchase this again, though.

This is a great kitchen set for the Loving Family Dollhouse. The only issue I had with it was that I ordered both the kitchen set and the Loving Family Sweet Sounds Dollhouse at the same time. I was unaware of the fact that the Sweet Sounds dollhouse already comes with a built in kitchen. The kitchen set was soooo cute though that we had to keep it. So my daughter now has two kitchen in the one kitchen space.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and I was so excited to see it I could not wait to give it to her. This set is so detailed. I love the little oven light. The sounds have never bothered me at all. I love the fact that the little pieces are attached to the kitchen. A wonderful addition to your dollhouse.

My granddaughter turned three last week and I bought her the Fisher Price Loving Family dollhouse. It only came with a few pieces of furniture so a-shopping on the internet we went! What great fun this is. I was kind of disappointed that the dishes that you see above the sink are fakes - you can't get them out and play with them. Same for the stuff in the fridge and in the dishwasher. Bummer! But it's cool that the little phone actually rings and she loves that double highchair for the twin babies.
It's a great set and so necessary in a dollhouse, right? It's very reasonably priced, too.

This is by far the best of the Loving Family dollhouse sets. Buy this set first! It has so many play features in one tiny set and it is one of the prettier sets (like the dining set) with updated colors. We like the faux stainless steel look.
Both doors of the fridge open and there is a drawer in one section that can be opened. There are several food pieces to play with and a rug to decorate with. The bag of groceries fit perfectly in the Loving Family car.
There are three tethered pieces - the coffee pot, the saucer, and the phone. It is a good things these are tethered because they are so tiny you would lose them opening the package, but they add a lot of play value. The oven door opens and close and there is a little slot for storing pans next to it, just like in our kitchen.
The weakest point of this kitchen is the high chair set with the tethered spoon (nice touch). It is very difficult for my preschooler to get the babies in and out of their seats. I would like to see the trays lift and close for easy snack time seating.

This is a must have for the Twin Time dollhouse! I really like all the little details with this set, that the refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher and oven open and close, the phone makes noises and the best thing of all is that the phone and baby spoon are connected to larger pieces so that they aren't so easily lost!

This is perfect for pre-schoolers. There is great detail but the number of tiny detached pieces is limited. Coffee pot, for example, is attached by string, so it won't end up in another part of the house.

You get a lot of toys for a good price with this set!
Good for imaginative play, bake in the oven then fill up the fridge, just like mommy and daddy do every night..put the babies in the highchair and feed them. She still loves to do this routine after dinner with her own doll set.
The oven beeps and the fridge has plenty of room to put stuff in. Fits well in the larger rooms of the dollhouse. DD is still playing with the kitchen set 6 months after getting it.
