Review of children's toy dishwashers

If your child wants to “wash the dishes,” but no one will let him near real household appliances, then it’s worth considering toy dishwashers. By installing a mini-machine in the nursery or next to a real dishwasher, you can raise a future housewife without risk to health. Moreover, the variety of role-playing toys offered by manufacturers allows you to choose any suitable model. Our short review will help you make your choice.

HTI Smart

The Chinese toy dishwasher from the British brand HTI Smart is the optimal balance between budget price and acceptable quality. Due to the universal red and yellow color, it is suitable for boys and girls and fits perfectly into the design of a children's room. Designed for children from three years old and has the following features:

• height – 25.5 cm;
• light and sound indication;
• on the dashboard there are buttons for washing, draining and drying;
• starting the cycle with a rotary knob;
• the door opens.

The toy dishwasher makes realistic sounds of water filling, draining and drying.

The set includes a basket for loading dishes and a dish set. So, the machine comes with 4 plates, two cups and a pair of spoons, forks and knives. Judging by customer reviews, the actual size of the dish is slightly smaller than shown in the advertising picture. The machine runs on three AAA batteries.

PlayGo 3635

The Chinese company PlayGo also offers its own version of a children's dishwasher. Model 3635 is a modern black and red toy that will help the little housewife get acquainted with household kitchen appliances in a playful way.

• Dimensions – 29x14x25 cm.
• Universal color of the body and dishes.
• There are 7 buttons on the dashboard, through which the dishwasher or dryer is started, the door is opened, the washing mode is selected or the water temperature is adjusted.
• Two levels of loading dishes.
• Realistic sound similar to drawing water and drying.
• Camera illumination and button indication.
• Using safe plastic.
• The set includes 2 deep and 2 flat plates, 2 mugs, forks and knives.

The brand offers to complement the dishwasher with a microwave oven, stove, coffee maker and other kitchen appliances.

The toy is recommended for children aged 3 years and older and promotes not only the development of household skills, but also imagination and fine motor skills. Three AA batteries are required to start.

Rick&Rock

The closest thing to an adult dishwasher is the Rik&Rok children's dishwasher. It is distinguished by a dashboard, on which, in addition to buttons, there are several corresponding stickers that imitate a full-fledged unit. The toy also has other advantages:

• dimensions – 32.4x22.8x38.1 cm;
• two-level loading due to two baskets;
• AA batteries included;
• weight – 7 kg, thanks to which the dishwasher is stable and does not move;
• a large set of dishes, which includes plates, saucers, cups and cutlery;
• a combination of a universal white body design and bright equipment (red grill baskets, yellow and blue dishes).

The toy is made of safe plastic and metal. Assembled in China as Auchan's own brand. Recommended for children from three years of age. Helps children explore kitchen appliances in a playful way, as well as develop fine motor skills and learn colors.

Carmen

The most expensive of the models under consideration is the Belarusian toy dishwasher Carmen. Its main advantage is safety due to the use of high-quality plastic, manufactured under license from the Spanish company Coloma y Pastor. The high price of 3-5 thousand is justified by a number of undeniable advantages of this machine.

• The presence of a sink with a tap from which water flows (the water is circulated in a circle due to a special pump).
• Light and sound accompaniment.
• The set includes a cutlery tray, spoons, forks, knives, plates and batteries.
• White and pink design.
• Dimensions – 31x28x45 cm.

Contains small objects, so it is recommended to play with the dishwasher only under adult supervision.

The mini-machine gives the child the opportunity to wash dishes both under tap water and load plates inside by turning on the “Start” button. As with other role-playing toys, there will be no water inside. But this model goes much further and creates the illusion of a wash – water flows between the transparent walls of the door, simulating a running cycle. The manufacturer indicates an age range of 3-12 years, but judging by customer reviews, the toy is also interesting for younger children. Consumers especially note the comfortable deep sink, durable plastic, neutral colors and high build quality.

With the help of toy household appliances, you can help your child deal with household chores and accustom them to cleanliness and order. All that remains is to choose the most attractive size, design, functionality and equipment of the miniature “home assistant”.
