    My two-year-old granddaughter loves this set. My daughter tells me that the sounds aren't obnoxiously loud and they make her make-believe fun. Her four-year-old male cousins also get a kick out of playing with the set because of the sounds the dust bin makes.

        Very cheaply made--the handle came apart in two places the first day. Our 2 year old loves to "sweep" so we thought it would be a cute gift.

          Very reasonable price and my 3 year old and 16 month old love playing with it. I had to super glue the broom handle together bc it keeps coming apart but all is fine now!

                My sons loves this set. The only problem was the handle coming off, but we just put some tape around it and stuck the end back on. Now it doesn't come loose. Since he's only 1 we even took one of the extenders out so it's sized for him. He loves putting things in the trash can.

                This is a great idea and the kids love to play with these but broom keeps falling apart,, they have it so you can put a handle on it or make it a little taller but it just slides on, it doesn't attach or lock so guess what it just slides off.. so we go without the yellow handle or the taller bar... works still but come on,, kids play with it!!! make it durable for that price

                My 1 year-old and 3-year old like this toy. I bought it for the one-year old because he always likes playing with the real broom and dustpan. Like other reviews have said, the only negative is the broom handle doesn't stay on at all. We had to glue the top of the broom handle on and glued the handle into the broom. Now that it's glued, it works great.

                I could not get the broom to stay together. It should have something for it to snap together better. It is very cute and I love that it talks, but the broom falls apart when my daughter is playing with it.

                Trash can just a little small, volume a little low, great for the two year old, but I bought it for my four year old. Both play with them and like. Love the customer service, [...] and ease of ordering. Will shop with OneStepAhead again!

                    My 18mth son went right for these on Christmas morning. He walks around the house with Sam and the Dustpan. The only caution is that the handle on Sam does come apart easily so if your child is like mine and likes to take things apart -- just glue them together.
                    He also loves to play with the eyes on all three pieces -- very animated.

                    None of the handles fit tight enough to actually pick up the product with them. The trash can doesn't sit flat on the floor so it rocks a little bit and it's difficult to use the step-open feature given the rockiness.

                    The trash can is great. But the broom came in 5 pieces and, after assembly, the handle and the broom head fell off repeatedly even with gentle use. We resorted to screwing the pieces together - not the best construction.

                        The handle on the broom would not stay attached and it became very frustrating. Along with the heavy weight of the broom for my two year old daughter was essentially too much for her to play with. We are returning the item.
