Comments about VTech Electronics V.Smile TV Learning System:

I have a 7 year old who grew up on V-Smile and it helped teach him alot in a video game form which entertained him for hours. Now I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old at home and I introduced them to v-Smile and they love it. It teaches while entertaining and they think that they are playing a video game like their big brother. I love spending time wth them watching them have fun while learning. This is a great product and I would buy it again and again! It is worth every penny and more!!!!

Comments about VTech Electronics V.Smile TV Learning System:

I bought this unit 4 years ago and have never had any major problems with it.Where we live it gets allot of use because winters are long and cold. My boys are 5 and 6 now. I find that when the game cartridge gets dirty inside it does affect the unit by shutting down the game or it won't run at all. So when this happens I clean the inside of the game by slidding back the lip and using a Q tip and rubbing alcohal and making sure it's dry. I also clean the unite its self that way where you insert the game. I have had to replace one controller because my kids have pulled the wires from the controller out. They also now have the hand held game unites and take them every where. I do think the games are a bit to exspensive. so I try to find used ones to buy. I have to buy two of each game so it can get spendy.
Trust me when I say my boys really abuse this unit and games. They are really hard on it and use it allot.

Comments about VTech Electronics V.Smile TV Learning System:

This was bought for our Great Grandson last Christmas 2009. He lives with us so we watch him play with this all the time and he does enjoy it and I believe learns counting etc. however he has had it only a month and it freezes while playing. We wiggle the cord unplug and replug the controls and finally it will start again but this is really anoying since you buy all these games and you can't seem to get thru playing one before it freezes.

Comments about VTech Electronics V.Smile TV Learning System:

I have this original V-Smile and also the one that comes with the microphone and drawing pad. Had not used the original unit in quite sometime because I could not get it to turn on even with fresh batteries. But guess what--I went to the website and found under FAQ about what to do if unit is not turning on and I followed the directions. What do you know--the unit does WORK!!!! I had not used this unit in at least 2 years!! For those of you having trouble with the unit not working--check out the website FAQ section and follow directions, maybe it will wotk for you too.

Comments about VTech Electronics V.Smile TV Learning System:

I FIRST BROUGHT V-SMILE FOR MY NOW 6 YEAR OLD, WHEN IT STOP WORKING I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUESE IT WASN'T DURABLE. TWO YEARS LATER I BUY A NEW ONE AND FIND SOME OF THE EXTRAS (ART STUDIO) AND SOME GAMES CAN'T WORK IN THE SYSTEM. THIS IS CRAZY. I WONDER HOW YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS?

VTech Kids Response: We're sorry that you are experiencing problems with the VSmile Accessories and their compatibility. The Art Studio only works with the software cartridge that came with the art board and isn't meant to work with other smartridges. If you have any other questions, please contact Consumer Services at faq@vtechkids.com.
