Facts about Fisher Price's Dusty the Talking Vacuum

Price: $19.99

Recommended age: 3+

Batteries Required:  3 AAA

Fisher Price's Dusty the Talking Vacuum is purple, orange, yellow and turquoise.  The rolling eyes, yard twisting "lint,"  easy to push handle, and a hose just like the  real vacuums have children convinced that they are helping mom or dad to clean up clean up. The Fisher Price Dusty the Talking Vacuum also has real vacuum cleaner and suction sounds and thirty different phrases to encourage your child's cleaning efforts.

My Viewpoint: Fisher Price's Dusty the Talking Vacuum is just too much fun.  My favorite phrases are "Nobody cleans better than we do," and "Clean you later!"  My girls laugh and giggle and are so excited to hear the realistic vacuum sounds.  They really think that they are sweeping (if only they were!).  This is one toy that encourages pretend play, self esteem and confidence as well as a healthy appreciation for working together to clean the house and get all our jobs done.  The only problem I have had with it is just like my sweeper, sometimes the hose doesn't latch on tight enough and pops off.
