Loved the dreamhouse when I first purchased it for Christmas for my daughter. After a few months the electronics stopped working. After switching out batteries it still didn't work and tried resetting. Sucks it won't work because this wasn't even cheap and my daughter stopped playing with it once it stopped working. Can't even return because I bought it ahead of time for Christmas so she wouldn't miss out on this little house so I can't even return. Haven't even had it the whole year. Don't recommend purchasing a bunch of them are flawed.

My 19 month old got this for Christmas (so at 16 months) and she plays with it almost every day! Sometimes during her independent play and sometimes we play Barbies together. I love that it holds her attention enough for her to choose it alone though. At 19 months not much holds her attention for long. I loved Barbies growing up and couldn't wait to see if my daughter would be a Barbie girl as well but I assumed I'd have to wait years for that. It's so fun we get to do this together so soon! It's super fun that the house coincides with the one from the show too!

We've had zero issues so far with sounds or lights and my husband had it set up in about ten minutes I think. So overall, definitely worth the purchase in my opinion.
