CUTE STONE Color Changing Kitchen Sink Toys, Children Electric Dishwasher Playing Toy with Running Water, Upgraded Faucet, Automatic Water Cycle System Play House Pretend Role Play Toys for Boys Girls

Update 8/2024: I wrote to the company letting them know about the broken faucet. They had me open it up, inspect it, and check to see if some wires had gotten loose. None of that worked, though I did see that moisture had definitely gotten into the casing that houses the motor (note: but not the battery pack), so I could see how over time this would break down. After going back and forth, the company agreed to ship a replacement faucet from their overseas warehouse free of charge to us. We received it a couple weeks later and now we have a working faucet again! My 3 year old is thrilled. Original review (2 stars): We purchased this one year ago and it quickly became one of my daughter’s favorite toys. I recommended this to at least half a dozen friends. It worked well up until a month ago, when we left on a trip (made sure it was stored dry) and when we came back today, it will not work, even after 4 different sets of batteries. Unfortunate since we were really looking forward to using it during this heat wave.

I bought this sink for my daughter's 3rd birthday, partially because she loves to play with anything that involves water and partially because I wanted to provide a more accessible way for her to learn self-help skills like washing her hands. My daughter has a rare chromosome disorder that causes low muscle tone, developmental delay (especially in motor skills), and autism. As a result, it is difficult for her to use step stools, climb, etc., which makes our regular sinks impractical. By placing this sink on a table at her level, she can walk right up to it safely. Before, we had tried using a water cooler over a basin, but the knob/switch on the water cooler was difficult for her to turn on and off. In contrast, this faucet is very easy for her to turn on and off. This gives her independence--something we can't take for granted. She was so excited about this sink that she learned the skill of washing her hands very quickly. She now chooses to do it on her own accord before meal times! Autistic children often have trouble learning to "pretend play," and this is something that doesn't come easily to my daughter. With this sink, she immediately loved pretending to wash the dishes. (She also brings random toys to the sink for washing, too.) She can spend upward of 30 minutes playing with this sink, which is impressive for sustaining her attention. After about 2 months of usage, unfortunately the faucet stopped working. We contacted customer service, and they were really great about instructing us on how to try to fix the faucet and then replaced our faucet/sink for free when it couldn't be fixed. I am hoping we don't have a similar issue this time because, as you can see, this is more than a toy for my daughter, and I'm really grateful that such a product exists!

I purchased this item specifically for use in and around my pool, and it failed far sooner than it should have. The product is advertised as a water toy, yet the battery compartment is very poorly designed. The battery cover does not sit flush against the housing, and the seal is inadequate. As a result, water easily gets into the battery compartment during normal use. After opening the unit, I found significant rust and corrosion on the battery contacts and springs, which clearly indicates water intrusion. Once water got inside, the toy stopped functioning properly and was essentially ruined. For a product intended to be used around water, there is no excuse for such poor waterproofing. A properly designed pool toy should have a secure, watertight battery compartment that prevents this exact problem. I am very disappointed with the quality and durability of this item. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend avoiding this product and looking for a better-made alternative. It simply does not hold up to the environment it was designed for.

Update (July 10, 2021): So I reached out to Cute Stone customer service and got a replacement. They provide 1year warranty for this. The service they provided was excellent. They responded quickly and they provided me with all the informations that I needed to know. I got the new sink, tested it and see how it works. It works pretty well, but I have to make sure I remove the faucet and also the battery after each use. Hopefully it’ll last. Bought this April 2021, for my sons 2nd birthday because he loves to play water in our kitchen sink, so I decided to buy this so that he can have his own and not waste so much water. He loves it so much. Keeps him busy for hours. But after only x5 of use, the faucet just stopped working. I tried every possible solution, like changing the battery, I even unscrew the four little screws on each side and literally checked inside and made sure the wires are still intact, which they are, then I made sure all the screws are tighten up, but still won’t work. I also made sure to remove the faucet and let it dry after each use. I contacted the seller, but no response yet. I’m hoping to get a replacement.

Please read the entire review. Let’s start with Cute Stone’s customer service. If there was a separate rating for Customer Service I would give them a 5+. My daughter recently purchased a Color Changing Kitchen Sink for my grandson. While it worked he loved his functional sink and spent hours playing in the water. After a couple of weeks the sink’s water pump stopped working. My daughter gave me the pump on my next visit and I began to trouble shoot the toy’s failure. It was quickly apparent that the pump was not repairable. I called Cute Stone customer service and explained my issue and findings to Syd an awesome customer service rep. She was not able to send me the parts required to fix the sink’s pump but immediately sent us a new toy. Cute Stone listened to my problem and did not hesitate to resolve our issue. Thanks Cute Stone and Syd, outstanding customer service. Now for the Color Changing Sink itself. The sink packs loads of fun for those kids who like to play in the water. The base sink and toy utensils are reasonably well made and will stand up to active toddlers play. The water pump and faucet are more problematic. The pump is OK and works well but is subject to corrosion and motor seizure. Let’s be realistic this is not an expensive toy and I believe “you get what you pay for”. That being said I would recommend the sink but be aware of its limitations. Here’s what I would suggest, after each play session remove the pump and faucet assemble, gently tap the assembly to help any trapped water to escape from the bottom and let the pump air dry being careful not to cover the water ports on the bottom of the assembly. The Color Changing Kitchen Sink is a really fun toy, good luck I hope this helps.

Wonderful toy and replica of the big girl sink. Keeps her entertained and busy, good quality.

Our son loves to use this "little sink to wash his hands." I love that the faucet moves about over the sink, but not past the sink. I do wish it was a tight/snugger in the sink though.

This play sink is so fun and great for toddlers! Unfortunately, it’s very finicky and getting the water to run was not always instant. Now it doesn’t work at all. It was a Christmas gift and probably last about 4/5 months. It’s too bad because my 2 year old loved this toy and it was one of the few toys he would actually sit down and play with. I have friends who also had this toy and they had the same experience.

Both my 1 and 6 year old boys loved it. It was very difficult to get them to stop playing with this.

Es increíble, funciona perfectamente y mi pequeño se divierte mucho

It's perfect idea, sadly it remains just an idea as the tap on ours didn't work. I did get assisted by Amazon though, after the seller failed to assist so I'm happy.

Love this toy! Works well, my toddler loves this! The tap works well, easy fill the bottom tub up and let it run! The accessories (cups and plates) are great! It’s a great toy

Excellent
