Blurry slides, tinny voice

The image is blurry with every page. One page can be clear and the next one is blurry. It’s infuriating to have to fix it with every page, on a stable flat surface. The books are poorly written and the narration is so fake. It’s hard to enjoy the images because they are so blurry. There is a horrible grinding noise to rewind each book and between each slide. Don’t fall for the hype. This toy is useless because of how poor quality it is.

Terrible product

My granddaughter used this twice, I even stored it in the case I had to order separately. It just doesn’t work right the 3rd time she used it! The picture fades in and out and stops working all together in the middle of the story! I never kept the batteries in when not in use and always used fresh ones. This is an expensive piece of you know what!!

Great story telling, poor quality.

Projector works for a while until continued use degrades the light. Especially when the sound makes the light flicker. And it flickers so much that the light even turns off completely.

Please try replacing the batteries with brand new Duracell or Energizer batteries as we have found that these batteries are stronger power which is required for the machine to function correctly. If you are still having trouble, please contact Little Tikes at 800-321-0183 so we can assist you. Thank you!

Love this but my son is really more into longer stories. we put this on for him at bed time but all of the stories only last no longer than 3 min. We wish they had longer stories so he could drift off to sleep to it

Love the idea and the product-room for improvement

Our little ones love it. I do wish they had books that lasted more than a minute or too. I also noticed if you get something like paw patrol versus the older books. The stories aren't as good, nor do they last long. We had it for a year now. Noticed more books are coming out. The price overall per the books are decent. We typically wait for a sale. We have to buy a case now for the spare books. I hope they can do other stories sooner and be longer. I know its hard with the projector design. Some of the first books also have poor focus. Have to be a little bit closer to see it. Might just also be a variation in the design. Some newer books could be the same. Not so sure. Overall though they love it. They still cannot read, so it getting blurry sometimes is fine. Would be cool if it could auto focus or stay consistent.

Disappointed

The Story Dream Machine has so much potential and we were so excited to get it for the boys. Unfortunately, you cannot get a clear picture unless you're mere inches away from the wall, which means the picture is very small.
