Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First of all, I bought ours for $29.99 from Carson Pirie Scott brand new (it's a pricey department store FYI and it was "marked down" from $60). Whoever this vendor is, they are RIPPING YOU OFF!!!
But even at $30 I have not been too pleased. I bought 2, one for us and one for a christmas present. One of the 2 was broken when I got home. I exchanged it for another. Our toddler has been using ours for a month when it broke too! Then when we tried to plug it into the computer, the USB port broke off and is now rattling around in the case! (And no, I do know what I am doing and didn't use excessive force.)
This is really too bad because our toddler LOVES it and has taken it everywhere (dr office, store, long car ride). He can work the buttons just fine, and has thrown it and stepped on it without it skipping or powering down. It seems well-designed for little hands that aren't too gentle. In fact, when it broke we had just turned it off for the night and then it didn't turn on again in the morning for reason...
The battery life is pretty good. I would say we got about 2 weeks of near nonstop use out of each set of batteries. I wish it was rechargeable.
So, last week this would have gotten 5 stars. Now it gets 2.
UPDATE: We replaced this with the $60 SweetPea 3. It is so superior to the Blue Hat!! It is sturdier, smaller yet still 100% useable by little fingers, has 4 times the memory, the same battery life with just 1 battery instead of 4, and has actual firmware so you can make playlists, adjust the auto turnoff time, etc. Plus the volume knob is hidden, and it resumes at the same song it was on when it turned off, instead of the BH one which starts over at the beginning every time. The only thing it doesn't have that the Blue Hat had was a scrolling song titles. BUY THE SWEETPEA!
