I bought a Pleo for my 4 year old and spent $375 on it. It never worked from the beginning. Who knew when it said it was just waking up that that's all it would ever do. It did gurgle and make a few sounds. The skin color rubbed off immediately. The batteries only worked for five minutes at a time and that is being generous. I bought extra batteries to try to keep it working but you could never tell if they were charged or not. I am writing this review before I throw this most expensive rubber stuffed animal in the garbage. All it ever had going for it is it was cute. Save your money pass on this one.
