Blender did not blend. Being an Electrical Enginner, I located the problem . One of the leads to the motor had not been soldered to the motor. QuivCk use of my soldering iron and now it works. 2-1/2 year old Grandaughter is very pleased with the Kitchen
I would recommend this to a friend!

Parker, our 2 year old, loves to help us in the kitchen but it is not always a safe place for a curious toddler during meal prep. We decided to find a play kitchen that could be set up close to our kitchen. I was thrilled when Step2 agreed to let us review the Mixin' Up Magic Kitchen as part of the Step2 toy tester program. It was the perfect size and had all of the accessories we were looking for.Overall Step2 products are extremely easy to put together and they provide well thought out assembly instructions. This kitchen was no different, my husband was thrilled with how easily it was put together and how reliable the construction was. While the kitchen is lightweight, it is still extremely sturdy. Step2 also found a way to include all of the essential kitchen accessories without taking up too much space.My son absolutely loves this kitchen and spends several hours a day playing with it. We often chuckle while watching him play because he mimics so much of what we do in our kitchen. He loves the ice machine on the door of the refrigerator and makes us coffee every morning using the coffee pot. He also loves the lazy susan spice rackI love that he is able to play while still learning and developing social norms around cooking and eating. He practices setting the table, cooking on the stove, serving food, and cleaning up. He has even learned about saving the environment with the special recycling bin under the fridge. The best part...? He enjoys every minute of it!I definitely recommend this kitchen to anyone looking for one. Kids as early one year and as old as five have played with ours so we plan to have it around for quite awhile. I also love that this kitchen will be safe for Parker to play with when our daughter arrives in September. Once she is crawling and exploring we will have to be careful with what toys are lying around. The kitchen and all of the accessories will be safe for her, although we may put some away so there aren't teeth marks on everything!

Fun pretending w/ Mixin'Up Magic Kitchen

Thank you to Step2 for letting me test this item as part of the Step2 toy tester program.With a 6 year old and a 3 year old in the home, sometimes it's a bit tough to find a toy that fits both their needs (and their heights)! My 6 year old is tall, but he still wants to have fun with pretend furniture and toys. My three year old is in the middle of growing to love pretend play, so it's important that they toys be interactive and sort-of realistic. That's why the Mixin' Up Magic Kitchen is so perfect for both of them.Both boys love switching off between being chef and being a customer. They practice order-taking skills, and giving food orders as well (this will translate well into real life when we go out to restaurants). They put together their own "recipes" and see the cooking process through thanks to the bubbling water sounds, the blender sounds and the pretend microwave and food.The accessories that it comes with makes it so that parents don't have to purchase any more dishes, utensils or cups. The real washcloth and oven mitt are perfect for kids and the blue buckets hold food that parents may already own. I also liked the recycling bin because it is so important for kids to learn how to recycle.And although we don't own a dog (or a pretend dog for that matter), I liked how it had a pretend bowl for a pet because it made it more realistic. We use a frog in place of a dog, and the kids like it just fine.All the compartments in the kitchen also helps to teach the kids to put things back where they belong. And of course, it's a great idea to tell the kids to take off the blenders, pots, etc. from the "stovetop" as the batteries will wear out quickly if one does not pay attention.It was very easy to put together, I did it myself within an hour. The instructions are very detailed and the product is not heavy. Even when put together, it is very easy to move around. I recommend it for kids who love to pretend play and who like to be involved in the food-making process.

We love this kitchen!

My daughter received this for her 1st birthday and it was a hit then, and it's a hit now, 2 years later! It's great for all ages, My now 8 month old has learned to stand with it, and my 3 year old has developed a great imagination from it!
Easy to assemble, well engineered product. Very interesting special effects on the stove top. That will be a hit for sure. Only one item I'd change, the coffee pot has a place for the same kind of sensor that the other stove top appliances have but no sensor. I would have loved to have obtained one before Christmas.
I was looking for a kitchen that had a lot of storage that my kids could grow into and not out of too fast! This one is perfect! Wasn’t too hard to put together, wish the four storage bins were larger but otherwise great!
This item is really great for my 3 and 5 year old daughters. It was easy to assemble (less than an hour). I am really glad I decided to purchase this kitchen instead of a more expensive one. They were truly satisfied for Christmas. No complaints!
