Title: Burns Through "D" Batteries Too Fast!
Review: First, this is a cute toy, and my toddler son likes to play with it, but the way it burns through batteries is pretty inexcusable. That's the reason I'm giving it such a low rating. You will purchase the toy, and get a less than a week of use before you have to go and purchase four more DD batteries for the unit. Just buying the batteries will cost you another 20-25 bucks a month if your child likes to use it often (an 8-pack of D batteries costs about 15-20 bucks, depending on where you buy it).It's such a waste of money-- a toy that costs this much already and then costs another $300 a year in batteries to run? Bad, bad, design. My son likes it, and I appreciate the fact that it's educational, but it's really short-sighted that the manufacturer didn't use A/C power. Save your money!
