Good item to have in your collection if your kids like to play with playdoh. The only complaint I have is that the unit doesn't have any kind of grippies on the bottom to keep it from slipping across the table. This may not be an issue for older kids, but both of mine are under 3.

I love this toy. But my daughter is two and she has a hard time pushing the lever down to get the play doh out. I love it and am more then willing to play with her and help her out til shes old enough to do it on her own

My daughter loves the Fun Factory. She could play with it for hours if you let her. I love how it is a more traditional Play-Doh toy. It allows for more imaginative play.

My 3 year old daughter enjoys playing with Play dough using cookie cutters and this 'Fun Factory'. We had a very long drive to grandmas for Christmas. She played with it in the car on the way to grandmas, at grandmas, and on the drive back. She really liked squishing the dough and having it come out in different shapes and making 'snakes', as well as cutting the dough into pieces. It was also a bonus when colors were mixed together. I admit the dough will dry out where the cutter slides in place, and cleaning out the squisher before storing it helps a lot to make it easier to use the next time.

Fun for the kids, but kind of a pain to clean. Lots of tight places where the Play Doh gets trapped. Also, it could use some rubber feet to prevent slipping. There are holes on the bottom that seem to be where rubber feet should go, but none are present, nor are they included in the box.

My daughter accidentally separated the arm from the base, but it was easy enough to reattach. However, if one of the plastic pins happens to break, it will become useless.

In summation: fun, but kind of frustrating.
