Customer Reviews

My son's ceramic piggy bank works better!
The only reason I rate the "fun" so high is that my kids seem to enjoy TRYING to play with it, despite the fact that it doesn't work correctly. I think they just enjoy the beeping the buttons make. We've been using it for 24 HOURS, and the following things have gone wrong:

1. The machine only recognizes its ATM card about 60% of the time.

2. The enter button doesn't always work, forcing us to take the card back out and start over.

3. The withdrawal function works, but the machine will not actually subtract the amount from its calculated total.

4. If our bills are not perfectly crisp and new, and there are already a few bills in the machine, they will crumple up as they come through the bill feeder, making the machine think it's full so it refuses to accept more bills.

5. After feeding bills in, and entering the deposit amount, it will sometimes ask us to enter the deposit amount AGAIN. If we don't enter $0.00, it will miscount our money.

6. The coin sorter frequently counted any coin as a penny, and I put that in the past tense because...

7. The coin sorter became jammed, and now we cannot feed any coins into it. There is no way to un-jam the coin sorter without disassembling the entire machine.

8. The process to reset the counter to zero (as printed in the directions) is overly burdensome: You must take out the batteries, leave them out for 15-20 minutes, re-insert the batteries, insert the ATM card, enter the pin number, press the black reset button in the battery compartment, then press and hold the "1" "2" and "3" buttons at the same time until the screen asks if you want to reset the counter to zero, then you press enter. Why couldn't they work it so you could just press the reset button?

Sadly, this machine was a gift, so I can't return it, and I hesitate to tell the grandparents that this bank is utterly worthless. Extremely disappointing.

Room Gear ATM Safe Bank
This is great fun! ATM counts coins and allows you to input $$. Also, a secret drawer at the bottom where you can lock up your treasures! Loved by our family!

Lots of fun at first...
The atm bank worked great for about a month. Then the total got stuck and we tried all of methods to reset from the directions. then the bill slider quit working. I even emailed the company to see what could be done. Unfornately I still have a brand new, non-working atm.
