There is simply no way anyone could like this safe.

1) The drawer cannot take *ANY* weight. Forget about even putting a few coins it it because once you do, it won't open!

2) It eats batteries like a 500lb man eats hamburgers. Literally a full pack of AA batteries every few weeks! The reason is, this thing flashes lights even when nobody is near it or it is not in use.

3) Cheap construction, this thing is engineered to FAIL. Half the time the drawer fails to open, the keypad fails to work, and it flakes out the other half of the time.

Avoid this junk at all costs.

Bank goes off with out anyone in the room. Our son loved it for about 5 minutes

We purchased two of these safes for our daughters for Christmas and they both broke within 3 weeks. Don't waste your money!!!!!

After the safe arrived my son was very excited to use his new toy. Unfortunately, one of the key features the toy promises, setting your own secret code/combination to open the safe does not function. Neither he or any of the three adults in the room were able to reprogram it to the numbers he chose. He was very sad about it but after waiting so long for it to arrive by mail, would not return it. Since it arrived at my home I have researched other reviews at Amazon. You already have product reviews stating the same complaint. This is not an inexpensive toy and it does not work as promised. It should be taken off your item list until it has been fixed. As it stands Amazon is selling a low quality item to young children and parents who are very disappointed.

We purchased this item last year (Christmas 2006) for one of our boys. They were very excited to recieve it as it contains cool bells and whistles and hi-tech design. However, I can tell you that after having this item for almost a year now, my advice is to avoid at all costs. The safe eats batteries (need to replace every 3-4 weeks) and when the batteries fail, the safe sends out an audible alarm. After being woken up in the middle of the night a few times to the sound of this thing going off, we decided to remove the batteries. This thing now sits on my son's dresser, completely worthless.

This safe is a cute idea, but not worth the money. First of all, if you drop the safe from about 2" off the ground, it will automatically open (so big sister doesn't need the code to get in). Also, items in the safe get lost behind the drawer and you have to disassemble (unscrew) to get items out. Again, cute idea, but needs some fixing.

I ordered this safe for my grandson after he e-mailed me a very accurate request. Unfortunately, we discovered on Christmas Eve, when he opened it, that it was inoperable. I have given his parents the return information and labels.

This safe is the biggest waste of money I have ever seen. I had to pry the safe apart to get all my valuables out. The problem was that it didn't like any of the passwords I tried to put in. So prying the back off was the only way to go. If I could, I would give this safe a 0!!!

My son saw this product in a toy catalog and asked for it for X-mas. He thought it actually had a fingerprint scanner on it. In actuality, it has a light beam that is turned on and off by the combination pad. The fingerprint button is merely a button. So my son was totally disappointed. He said he would have been happy if it made believe it scanned your fingerprint with some kind of light effect or a voice command that said fingerprint scanned.
In addition, there is a poorly constructed shelf inside the safe and somehow a twenty dollar bill slipped behind it. We would have to break the outer plastic to get retrieve the twenty.
All in all, a disappoitment to my son, who collects safes. So we had to buy a different metal safe with a combination to appease him.

I bought this for my son who is 6 and he thinks that it is great. He loves to tease his brothers by putting things in it and locking it. It is overall a good toy but sometimes the alarm goes off for no reason at all, like at 230am.
