My son got the new V smile for Christmas last year with a variety of games to go with it. He has loved it from the first day. I on the other hand am not so keen on it. First of all, if you have a newer television (particularly a big screen) the V smile cannot be hooked up to it because the graphics are not made for that type of output. Problem 1. The next problem is that it gets hot and stops working or just refuses to turn on at all. Problem 2. So subsequently, about half the time my son wants to use his Vsmile it will not work. I have decided to chuck it and sell all the cartridges and get him a Leapster.

My preschooler loves the V-smile and the games. However, I can never get it to work on the first try or even after several attempts. It doesn’t matter if I am using the adaptor or batteries, the V-smile shuts off when I insert the game cartridge. Then I have to pull out the adaptor or pop out one of the batteries to get it to go back on again. After a lot of frustration and sheer luck, it will finally work. I really wish that my child could start the V-smile and change games all on his own (an adult can barely do it). Maybe I’ve got a lemon here, but this toy is seriously flawed. I’d recommend getting a Leapster instead.

This is just a great product. My kids love it. I have avoided buying regular game systems because I don’t just want them spending hours playing useless games. I like this product because they have to use their brains and they are learning skills that they need for school and beyond. It has had a few glitches but we have had it for about 2 years and it has held up great. The art studio and other accessories are good products too. My girls are six almost seven and are starting to out grow the games but yet still play them. If they made the games for older kids I would continue to buy them. My only suggestion would be to make sure you buy the power cord. It makes no sense to buy this with out it!

I love the V Tech V. Smile! More importantly so do my kids! It’s so easy to use, a 2 year old can play it, and learn just as easily as a 4 year old. Both of my sons love it so much that they fight over it all the time, so i would definitly reccomend buying two V smile systems, and maybe a third for yourself. My 4 year old William has learned alot of numbers and letters just by playing the games that we bought for him. The games are very educational and easy to play. It will definitly help my Wife and I get him ready for school in the fall. We all love it and give the V Tech V. Smile 5 stars.
