My daughter has enjoyed “sweeping” since was 18 months old. For her second birthday her favorite aunt bought her Dusty the Talking Vacuum Cleaner and she hasn’t stopped cleaning yet! The brightly colored toy is just the right height for little toddlers, the big friendly eyes move around as the sweeper moves, the noises are realistic as you “vacuum” the floor. It takes up very little room so it’s easy to stash away. There are sparkly strings inside the cleaning barrel to simulate dust and dirt, and the phrases are hilarious: “Is that a rabbit? Na! It’s just a dust bunny….” The pretend brush and nozzle attach to the vacuum too, just like the real thing! Very cute and durable, perfect for a child who loves to help mommy and daddy.

My daughter is three and LOVES this vacuum. At first she was frightened by the talking, but luckily the vacuum is equipped with an off switch for the sound. For the first week she pushed it without the sound. Now she readily turns it on. She was slightly disappointed that it didn’t actually clean the carpet, but the disappointment only lasted for a few minutes. As a mom I think it’s a great thing, though. I wouldn’t want her to vacuum something that was important like a missing earring. For durability I gave it 4 stars only because the hose is hard to hook into place. My husband and I really like the phrases the vacuum uses. We find ourselves repeating them in jest as we clean the house. In my opinion, 2-5 would be a better suggested age range.

MY 3 YEAR OLD GOT THIS FOR HIS BDAY AND LOVES IT. WHAT I LOVE IS THAT IT ISN’T AS LOUD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. HIS 7 MONTH OLD BROTHER CAN SLEEP FINE WHILE MY 3 YEAR OLD PLAYS WITH IT. HE WAS SCARED OF IT AT FIRST BUT ONCE WE PUT IT TOGETHER, HE GRABED IT AND LOVED IT. HE GOES THROUGH OUT THE HOUSE “VACUUMING”. I LOVE THAT HE HAS HIS OWN VACUUM INSTEAD OF WANTING TO TAKE MINE WHEN I AM CLEANING. I DEFINATELY WOULD RECOMMEND IT.

My 3yr.old son loves vacuum cleaners so we had to get this one for him. After an hour of playing with it the ribbons stopped spinning & it makes a very loud grinding noise. I have now seen from other reviews that this is a common occurance. I hope that Playskool can fix this defect & pull the remaining vacuums off the shelf because it is not fun to play with a toy that doesn’t work & has a very annoying grinding noise! My son loves his Dirt Devil vacuum & we have no problems with it, so buy that one instead.

They is a cute/fun toy but the age range definately should be less than 8! We had family over and their 4yr old played with it but probably only because it was different than her toys. Their 7yr old was in no way interested in it.
I would say it is good for 18 months to 3, maybe 4 yrs.
