 Oy vey -- our little "mechanical genius" defeated them in seconds! Jan 22, 2006
By Rabbi Yonassan Gershom
I agree with the other one-star reviewers here -- had I come to Amazon first, I would not have wasted my money. I got these because our two-year-old grandson was staying with us and, being a curious kid who likes to push every button and turn every knob in sight, he was soon trying to turn on the gas oven and stove. So we got and installed these covers. Within minutes he discovered them -- and became even MORE fascinated with the stove! He immediately began spinning them around on the knobs, and it took less than a minute for him to figure out that if you pull upward, the cover and the knob come right off together! Now he had a fascinating new "rattle" to carry around -- and probably lose my stove knob in the bargain. Our solution? We took the real knobs off the stove, period. We keep them in a high cupboard and only get one out when we need it to cook. As for these clear covers, they're are still in the closet -- maybe I can use them to display insect specimens or something? Useful as knob locks they are NOT!

Stove Knob Covers not heat resistant!!! Apr 23, 2005
By SwanLovesJoe
"Swan"
-As soon as we installed the covers, the first thing my husband and I noticed was how difficult they were to open for cooking. The plastic pieces you need to push on to open the covers do not give.
-The covers come apart very easily and fall off, exposing the stove knobs.
-The covers are not heat resistant. That doesn't make sense to me since they are meant to be used on stoves. If you leave the oven door open for just a few minutes, of if your oven has vents under the knobs, the covers melt and warp right away.
-The worst part was, my 9 month old daughter was easily able to pull the covers (with knobs) off completely.

Same problem as below and there is a solution Jun 28, 2005
By Heather English
Save your eight dollars and just take off the knobs for a while. I store them in a locked cabinet and then when I cook I just put them back on then remove them when Im done. Then when your child is old enough just put them back on. I have found this to be the easiest method of protection concerning stoves.
PS I also had the same problems as below thats how I came to this idea

 Questionable investment Nov 15, 2005
By J. G. Mcclanahan
"Momof 2wonderfulboys"
I bought these after we moved because our new house had knobs on the front instead of on the counter surface. THey fit my oven knobs very loosely so my son likes to make them spin around and around. Also a few of my knobs pull off easily. My son just grabs hold of the covers and off they come, both knob and cover. Then it's a neat toy with the knob rattling around inside the cover. They do keep him from turning on the stove so they do what their suppose to. I'm just not sure if it's worth it. It probably depends on your stove.

 Worked for us, may or may not work for you Feb 02, 2009
By April J. Carman
I was surprised by the number of mediocre to negative reviews of these after I sent a friend here to buy them for her grandson. I get what people are saying and why they wrote negative reviews, but they did however, work for us and I will buy more now that my daughter can reach the knobs.
First off, regarding melting, presently we have a range - nothing below to generate heat, so no issue there. However we did have a freestanding stove and didn't have a melting problem probably because of both the angle of our control panel and the fact that we have small children and we would never leave our oven open, even cracked.
Yes, my son eventually learned how to open these up once he was tall enough to see what he was doing. Prior to this we never gave him a chance to learn how to open them up - if he was fiddling around with them at the stove he was told "no" and removed.
My knobs don't easily come off, so the whole thing coming off wasn't an issue for us. Removing the knobs is a great option - if you don't have a husband like mine who would never ever remember where I put them. ;-)
I liked these if anything, for me. On two occasions I came in and dropped loads of groceries on every surface - including the stovetop - and bumped a knob and accidentally turned a burner on. (I won't have that problem now with my gas range.) But it was enough to make me think about buying knob covers for my clumsiness.
