ELC Electronic Cash Register

Before purchasing this toy for our daughter, we had a good look around at all the alternatives, as there are a great number of these around on the market at present, all offering similar features. Perhaps the main reason for buying this particular one is the “Early Learning Centre” brand name, as one that you can rely on and trust. It also seems chunkier and more durable than comparable toys. In fact, my daughter has dropped it onto the floor of the kitchen many a time and it still works perfectly fine, with no hint of damage. The unit itself is very brightly coloured in red and green (Tesco’s, take note!), with chunky buttons on it. ...  Read the complete review

I stumbled upon this cash register a few weeks a go when the boys and I went to play at a friends house. As my friend and I sat chatting the children were playing with the kitchen and 'play' food that she had and this wonderful cash machine. Noah spend absolutely ages swiping things and playing 'shop' with his friends that I couldn't resist buying him one myself. The toy is brightly coloured and when you press the buttons they work like a calculator. As you press individual number they show up on a small LCD screen at the top of the till. There is also a small area that is attached to the side of the till where the children can swipe items and it will 'beep' ...  Read the complete review

I always go in the ELC when I go to Merry hill because I do like their toy range and my little boy loves to get out the red car thing I push him around in and have a little run around playing and messing in there. It's the only shop he likes, so it is only fair, although getting him back out the shop is another thing. I recently bought my son a till from the ELC, although it isn't this one. It is blue and red or you can get it in pink for the girls and it is a little bit different, but not much and it does the same things. My sons has a working microphone and a chip and pin machine. It comes with the same money and credit card as well and it costs £20. ...  Read the complete review

My daughter has a more updated version of this cash register than the above picture, found in the current ELC catelogue.

We have lots of Early Learning Centre toys in the HonestBob household. It's a brand that I trust and a shop that I like to browse around when present hunting (though not at peak times when you can't more around the shop for buggies!) My daughter bought this cash register herself with her birthday spending money when she was 7 or 8. She is now 10 (11 in March) and has handed the register down to Littlest HonestBob with the proviso that he takes care of it and just presses the buttons and opens and closes the draw for the moment (she won't let him have what remains of her play money just yet!). That this cash register has lasted 3, maybe 4 years is ...  Read the complete review
