I loved the design of this, which led me to purchasing. However its cheaper than I thought. The sound is horrible, so I recommend not putting batteries in it. It doesnt make a sizzle or cooking noise, it is more of a crashingscreeching noise. It needs to be played against a wall, because it falls over easily. The trays fall off easily on the side when things are placed on them, and overall sizing of the play foodutensils fall off easily or dont store well in relation to the pegsholders. The food that it comes with is flimsy and dont stack well to make a burger, or hot dog. Glad I purchased on sale, and it will do the job for this season. However, if youre wanting to invest in a grill set, I would not purchase this toy.
