I read about other buyers' frustrations and thought to myself: I've been using voice-recognition hardware/software for years - I'm sure I can help my daughter make this thing work well for her.
So it arrived, we unpacked it and inserted batteries. Then the fun ended. To cut a long story short, it's almost impossible to use features such as setting the date/time/alarm. As for the main purpose of the product - keeping the owner's diary/nick-nacks secret... well, once she had set the password up she could open it on about 1 in 4 attempts. However, if her BROTHER found out what the password was, he could open it on about 1 in 2 attempts. It is a crock. Save your money. Don't buy. It is trash.

We bought one of these classic toys for our 7 year old. It was great for a couple of weeks until the vertical movement jammed. We sent off for a new one from the suppliers but it never arrived. Took three follow up phone calls and an extremely irate fax to get any response from the suppliers who finally supplied a new one nine months after the first one broke!
The quality of new models is not as good as the ones I remember when I was a kid. The plastic is not as strong and is more brittle. It can be cracked if dropped. The mechanism is not as good either. The knobs are more difficult to hold because they're smaller (not just because I'm older!) and are not as smooth in use.
