Most helpful favorable review:
This toy bank teller/atm is the best way for my girls to see how they are saving their money can be fun and educational. I only wish I could've gotten the pink one. My girls are 12 and 13...it sounds and almost functions just like a real atm. It does not push the money out for withdrawals. you have to open the compartment for that. It is still worth every bit of the price. I like the responsibility I'm seeing in
them towards their finances.

**Purchased for our six year old daughter**

PROS (in no particular order):
- The instructions on how to program the ATM (i.e. name to display, passcode, etc.) were very clear and easy to follow. Our daughter managed the set-up with only a little help from her father.
- She is able to use the ATM with ease as far as Deposits go. We've had no trouble with the coin slot being difficult to use, as some other folks have experienced.
- It's been, what, 6 weeks now, and she still plays with it, and really uses it to save and manage her money! Not a bad run for a toy now-a-days.
- It looks pretty cool, & it's steadier than it looks in the pictures.

CONS (from worst to least):
- The COLLECTION BIN -Part 1: This, IMHO, is the weakest feature in pretty much every aspect. All of the money simply drops into this big space at the bottom of the ATM, and -trust me- they did not go to any extra lengths to sleek-up this portion of the toy what-so-ever. Coins get stuck in odd spaces and wedges of plastic that were probably left-over from the die-cut/molding process. Tweezers are best for extracting coins since up-ending or tilting the ATM triggers some sort of alarm that switches the toy OFF.
- The COLLECTION BIN -Part 2: You gain access to the collection area by pulling out on the two sides of the "cover." This drops the cover open toward you, creating a ramp...a useless ramp, practically. Where it comes in handy is when -immediately upon opening the cover to the collection bin & all the deposited coins & bills come flowing out of the bottom of the toy- the ramp manages to catch about a dozen of them. But, hey, that's a dozen less coins you'll have to retrieve from your lap, the desk, the floor, from under the bed...you get the picture. I've tried to rig the bin with various containers (paper cups, etc.) to work as a catch-all (or even a catch-SOME), but I haven't been able to make anything work, yet.
- Unless you're sure you've been able to find every single coin that fell out, you either have to re-deposit everything, or be able to live with a "general idea" as to how much money your child has managed to save.
- The ATM we received has a different stickers than the one in the picture. Not a big deal to us, but it may be for another buyer. The colors scheme is the same (silver body, blue display, green stickers), but the design and placement of the stickers are different.

I REALLY wish they would have put more thought into the Collection Bin feature. It could have been a five star product.
