Our Dora was a little quiet. While it was nice she wasn't screaming all over the house, my 4-year old couldn't understand much of what she was saying. The best part was that Dora was from Santa and my 9 year old boy was totally freaked that Dora "knew" his name too. If they made a Darth Vader version I would totally get it for him.

I bought this toy several Christmas' ago for my 2 year old little girl. She loves it and still plays with it. The doll is also very durable and well made. I love that the shoes are painted on and therefore can not be removed. The software is amazing and very easy to use. Note: if you lose the computer attachment cord for downloading, you can use any USB with that type of attachment. I used my printer cord until I could find mine.

We are on our second doll. The first one wouldn't hold any information that we downloaded. Everything was easy to download and the doll would go through one cycle and then revert to the basic words she came with. We sent it back and got another one and now cannot download anything for this one. We're just getting error messages. This toy seems like a great idea and I'm envious of those who have one that works. My 2 year old has been constantly disappointed with this toy. Especially Christmas morning when the first one didn't work.

I got this for out 2 year old niece and sent it to her for christmas. I was able to get it out and program it before sending it to her so it was all ready to go when she opened it.

This doll is a must for a Dora fan. It is very easy to program and pronounciation is good enough. The only thing is that I wish you could customize it a little more. All in all, I am pleased with this purchase and can't wait to give it to my daughter (even though she heard it today, since I programmed it and then gift wrapped it without turning it off).
