Best Review on Educational Insights 1892 Mixer
We bought this mixer when we purchased the Kidkraft Deluxe Let's Cook Kitchen. It looks like it belongs with the kitchen!
My three-year-old son has always been a little wary of my Kitchen-Aid mixer. He loves to help me cook, but it makes him nervous when I turn the mixer on. So, we bought this mixer in hopes that he would understand and be more comfortable with the sounds of the real one. He absolutely LOVES this mixer. It comes with two different sets of beaters that are pretty easy to switch out, and it can come off the stand to be a hand-held mixer.
The only problem I have now is that my son is comfortable with putting his hands in the beaters while they are going because they just stop moving when too much pressure is put on them. I'm going to have to keep a very close eye on him when we're using the real mixer so he will not try the same thing! I do like that it does not hurt the toy when he does put his hands on it, though. The motor doesn't struggle or anything, so I assume that is what it is supposed to do.
Oh, and there are two options for turning the mixer on- you can turn it all the way on so the beaters just continually turn, or you can turn it on "half-way", so the child gets to push a big round button to make it go in short spurts. I think that is a lot of fun, too!
To address the negative reviews (currently there are only a few and they are only because their particular mixers did not work at all), I guess you just have to make sure to buy this mixer from a good company, like Amazon, who will give you a full refund or exchange easily. I think with any toy that runs on batteries and has a motor, there are going to be a few that do not work for whatever reason. To me, this toy is worth the trouble of exchanging it for a new one if it did not work initially. My son loves it very much!

Our son loves this mixer. He loves to add water to it and "make cookies." The last mixer we bought (different brand) broke within 1 week, and this one has lasted 4 months and it going strong.
BalasHapusMy two and four year olds both love this toy. It's spins fast but stops easily if a finger is placed in the mixer. A favorite in our house is to mix ice and water but there are many possible uses.
BalasHapusI really enjoyed this product for my toddler. The beaters are easily changed to dough hooks (by my 18-month old) that also came with the mixer. My toddler has had his fingers in the beaters and has even put his nose into the beaters, both without any injury (though I wouldn't really recommend doing this). He has already had lots of fun with this, and it seems to be pretty durable.
BalasHapusWe own all four of the Let's Pretend cooking items. My kids love to play with them. They fill them with water and ice cubes and "cook" away on the counter with a kitchen towel to catch the overflow. Definitely recommend for toddlers.
BalasHapusGreat product, well-made. My son mixes everything in it, and likes to use it when I'm using mine (unless, of course, he's also using mine.) =)
BalasHapusI bought this for my grandchildren's playroom. They really enjoy playing with all the kitchen equipment and this is another fun toy when they pretend they are cooking.
BalasHapusPurchased this mixer for my granddaughter to use in her new Cook n Grow Kitchen she is getting at Christmas. She had played with one similar to this at relaties house and loved it.
BalasHapusvery cute ... works well.
BalasHapuscolorful and safe.

loves that too.
