From Publishers Weekly:
Readers may have believed that all that could be said about a band of loyal appliances was stated with electrifying eloquence in The Brave Little Toaster. But there is new territory to cover with old friendslike the AM radioand new: a ceiling fan, an electric blanket and a microwave among them, as well as a hearing aid handmade by Albert Einstein. They all head to Mars after learning that there resides a force of warring appliances with plans to invade Earth. The toaster simply and persuasively speaks of peace to the planet's inhabitants and is elected president (a reign which lasts only until he returns to Earth). What is Disch talking about? Perhaps it doesn't matter, for while he seems to be amusing himself, much of what he writes will entertain readers, too. The epic elements will more than appease those awaiting this sequel, but the most exuberantly funny scenes are those in which the appliances while away the time with their distinctive brand of gossip. Ages 10-up.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 5 Up Like The Brave Little Toaster (Doubleday, 1986), this satiric sequel in which the toaster and his appliance friends journey to Mars to save the world will have more adult than child appeal. Rogue appliances on Mars are planning to invade the earth, destroy mankind, and end the horrors of planned obsolescence. Through heroic efforts and the electoral process, the rogue appliances are convinced to explore space instead. While children could easily read the brief adventure story, few will understand or appreciate Disch's parody of science fiction formulae and his manipulation of Einstein's theories.
