ELC Washing Machine

We bought this toy as we already had the ELC microwave which was a great hit. At £12.50 it looked like it would be a great addition to our existing role play toys. I am afraid to report that this toy was probably one of the few toys ever to be a disappointment that we have bought from ELC. The washing machine is made of a sturdy and durable plastic and has five buttons and a soap dispenser. Due to over zealous packaging we didn't actually work out that the soap dispenser opened for a long while - it was secured by a small screw for non obvious reasons. The door opens to reveal a drum, just like real life washing machines, and the buttons can be ...  Read the complete review

This toy washing machine looked great in the shop and my kids both love playing with it. Its has a on / off button and various other buttons that make noises such as water entering the machine and then spinning just like a reali washing maching programe. Inside you get a card board cut out of clother that if left in when spinning the machine can be seen moving around. The buttons do not say what they do but by pressing them you soon get to see what they do. It is very entertaining for both adults and the kids sat there watching it as most kids like sitting watching washing machines and trying to help load them. Over time the door on mine has dropped ...  Read the complete review

My oldest son really wanted this toy washing machine when he was 1 and a half. He went on about it for ages, being a boy mummy tried to change his mind but no he wanted it. I must admit I did give in and buy it for him. He kept saying just like mummy. It is a great little toy we brought it from the early learning centre. It does take 3 x C batteries to make it work. It is made of a blue sturdy plastic with red buttons and a green door. Once the toy is switched on there are a number of different buttons on the front of the machine to start different cycles. There is a small draw in which you can pretend to put the soap powder. Once you close the door on ...  Read the complete review

My daughter had this brought for her for her 3rd birthday. It cam with an iron and ironing board with the washing machine as a set. Lets start with the washing machine, it makes great sounds but she constantly pulls the door off due to its bad design. There is a handle winder on the back to make the drum go round. The handle is also very easy to pull off. If you are buying the set the ironing board comes apart and you will be asked every five minutes to put if back together by you child which becomes very annoying. To be honest children do love these items because they can mimic there parents but there must be better ones out there. My suggestion don't put this on the ...  Read the complete review
