Editorial Review
Accompanied by a "PowerCard" to record account information, this make-believe ATM machine features an electronic screen, an alpha-numeric keypad, and slots for cards, coins, and bills. Insert the card into the appropriate slot and enter a personal ID to get a personal greeting and an exact balance. You can also insert real dollar bills and coins, and the machine will add those amounts to the account. A cash drawer at the bottom pops open for withdrawals. The beeps, lights, and robotic voice resemble those one might find on a spaceship; it's almost as if you're withdrawing funds from the HAL 9000 rather than the ATM machine down the block. Also, the language seems a bit beyond the toy's target audience. ("Enter your name and secret PIN number for real personalized banking.") By the time children are old enough to use and understand this toy, it's possible they'll have outgrown it. The machine mounts easily to a wall, or you can set it on top of a dresser. --Andy Boynton

Fun Teaching Tool
I bought two a few years ago. The door at the bottom broke on one of the the first day, but my husband rigded it back somehow. My girls used the banks for a year and now only one uses it sometimes. Overall, I think it is a good educational toy. Sometimes entering the money (if a lot at one time) can be time consuming. They liked them a lot at the beginning because they felt like they were a little more grown and responsible.

Great Concept
We loved this when we first got it. Hard to keep up with the total it does not. U can't make deposits and withdrawals and it keep a total. Not good if you want to keep up with more than one account. I assumed my daughters could keep all the money in one bank and it keep a tally of who has what. Not the case. I guess I was wanting more out of this product than what it gave. Not worth it to me.

Best Bank Ever!
First I would like to thank you for getting me the bank just in time before Christmas. I waited until the last minute to order it and really didn't expect to get it until after Christmas. My daughter was really excited about it. It will help her keep up with her money and it will give her an incentive to save. One thing to remember about the bank is you have to teach your child to enter withdrawels and deposits or the balance will not be correct. Overall the bank is great we love it! It's a good learning tool for counting money.
