ATM Bank

I got this as an adult because out of all of the ones available this looked less like a toy.But as it can also handle notes it was better than a coin counting bottle.PROS*Built well, looks good.*Does manage the balance well once you get used to it.*For parents this would be great for kids to teach them how to save. Even as an adult I found I am saving more than I usually do.*Can recognise all UK mainland coins*Can hold a lot in notes and coinsCONS*If you place a coin in the machine without using the card and pin first it will reset everything including the balance. You then have to empty the machine, setup your ID and pin then enter everything in again. They should block the coin slot when you take out the card.*If you enter the coins too fast it resets the electronics. And if it's half full you have to start all over again. I ended up putting in £20 in coins at a time, taking out the card then later repeating the process. They should add a feature in the electronics where you can edit the balance. So if you know how much you have already you can put it all in.*No wall or USB power connector. So when the batteries are dead you have lost the balance. This means you have to empty it out before the batteries die so you dont lose track of how much you have in there.*A note got stuck in the roller when it was almost full and did not give me a chance to enter an ammount.I had to make a withdrawal get the note out and then make space then tried it again.CONCLUSIONA great toy for kids as it has the most common features as well as the asthetic of a real cash machine.And it does also help to encourage saving. As an adult this was better than a juice bottle and to be honest better than the coin counters I've seen as they cant take notes. And although the electronics are a little sketchy once I got used to them I found a way to work around most problems.

Bought this for my 10 year old Grandson. He loves it as he has always saved his pocket money. The only negative issue is that bank notes can stack up in a curled manner inside and this can prevent the unit recognising that a note has been inserted, so it needs to be opened to flatten them out.

This is a great product bought for my Grandson just like the real thing he loves it

I was looking for a way to make saving money fun for my nephews and this was what amazon had to offer.My nephew is 7 years old and this was a good present for his birthday. He loves it and can’t stop putting money into it. The whole point of this present was to show him the principles of how to save money and keep it safe. The machine comes with a plastic thick card. You use it enter a pin and deposit/withdraw money. The machine will take in the money and you will have to enter how much you put in. It will show you total at the end.The problems we faced.The setup is confusing and sometimes I had to play around to understand what I’m doing. Manual is okay but not the best.After setting the pin, I have then picked up the machine and placed into the my nephews room. As I put it down the batteries in the machines came out and the whole machine turned off. To my surprise we had to start the whole setup again. After looking into this I have found out that whenever you change batteries you have to set the machine up again. My nephew has lost interest now because no one changed the batteries and he knows he has to do the setup again.Another problem was you could place any card in the card slot and the machine would work as normal. The machine won’t keep your money safe. I just need put a piece of paper in the slot and guess a number and I would be in.finally the machine isn’t that well made. I picked the machine up and by accident while placing on the worktop the cash draw opened. So there is a chance of it opening if hit.I wouldn’t recommend this. For the money not worth it. Good idea but Too many flaws

I'm an adult and bought this for myself. I had loads of small change just stuck in a pot and I wanted to keep it in something that counted it. I liked the look of this as it holds quite a lot and I do love gadgets. This ATM looked the most realistic to me out of all the toy ones.I've found it to be accurate at identifying all the different coins. The noise it makes could be annoying but you can turn it off. It shows your name, date and time on the display panel when not in use. When you put the card in you get the choice of checking your balance, deposit or withdrawal. Apparently there is an alarm as well but I haven't used it. Also you can set a target if you wish. I have put one note into it to see how it works and it fed in just fine, but you've got to remember to enter the value on the key pad or you'll lose track of your total.On the instructions it says it plays a Christmas song if used on Christmas day and also a birthday song on your birthday, if you have put that information in. I can't comment on the songs as I haven't heard them yet.I think it's very well made. It's sturdy and quite heavy. It's quite easy to set up from the instructions. I'm very pleased with it.

It's quite cool for the kids. I found it doesn't always do what you want it to first time. The most disappointing thing for me was when we withdrew money, I expected it to pay out the exact amount of money that we had told the machine we wanted. But it opens the draw with ALL the money & you just take what you need. Of course the machine does then update how much is in there. I think my expectations may have been a bit much 😂

I was abit disappointed regarding the size for the money

Good value item, arrived in good condition, as described by the seller, delivered on time and in appropriate packaging
