Although I love the concept of this toy to teach about money and saving, this product is very primitive. There are no separations for different types of paper money or coins and the person depositing or withdrawing money has to do the math in their heads. The machine does not count the money either so if someone has a little brother who takes all the money inside the machine, the machine does not track that money. It is essentially a piggy bank so if that is what you are looking for then it is good.

This was circled in the catalog by our 9 yr old grandson.. We thought it might be too young for him- but he quickly set up his PIN#- added some cash and is keeping track of his money! A great way to help kids with their savings. Thank you.

This is a great piggy bank that allows kids to learn about goal setting and saving to reach goals. The storage is a free-for-all and therefore can cause a little chaos when opening it to retrieve money. But overall my boys love it.

We purchased this for our 6 year old child. It not only serves as storage for their saved up cash, but it also helps them learn how to withdraw and deposit. There’s even an option to make a savings goal. One tip of advice, only use American coins in the coin slot. A European coin got temporarily stuck in our ATM for a minutes or so. 3 AA batteries required.

We love this ATM. It's fun for the kids to be able to put their money and see how much they have.

My daughter loved her ATM and we ended up buying one for my son too. Only problem is that my son keeps losing the card.

This ATM has been such a big hit with my kids (ages 6 and 8)! They love setting goals and working towards saving up enough money to achieve their goals. This ATM is the most realistic one I've seen!

I purchased these for my now 11- and 14-year-olds a couple of years ago, and they LOVE them. It works well and underscores several real-life finance concepts. My kids take their banking very seriously thanks to these showstoppers. They did have to get the feel for the rate at which to deposit bills (read the instructions and reviews!) I do worry about them lasting long term since they're so electronically dependent, as I've had some longevity issues with other LL products in that regard. I do worry that we will eventually lose the ATM cards. An external card holder, such as an inset tray on the top or shallow cabinet storage on the side, would be an excellent addition.

Our daughter who loves math and counting money, loves this play ATM machine. I think this is an excellent, unique, and fun toy for kids to learn counting money and responsibility. I will say that the ATM seems to reset too easily, which has been frustrating.

I love this item. It is used for keeping all coin in it. It teaches my kids about money and how to save. I love that it can be used in multiple ways.

I purchased this for my son a few years ago and it has held up pretty well. He uses it to hold his birthday money, so it's been a great way for him to learn about saving and he can keep track of how much he has.

I love this concept and my kindergartener enjoys playing with hers, but it does have some flaws. First, it's important to note that this ATM only works with real money, not play money (pretend bills and coins will not work in the machine). This hasn't been a huge issue for us, but I did feel like it was worth making note of since I didn't realize that when I put it on her wish list. We supervise our child while she plays with it and recently the coin slot just stopped working, the quarter went in but will not come out. We've tried to fix it, but to no avail. Our ATM was a gift, so Lakeshore can't send us a replacement since I don't have the order number (understandably!), but it is still just a huge bummer that it only worked well for 6 months before breaking. Not something I would want to pay full price for or buy again.
