My 6 and 8 year old boys each have one. The ATM works well and they really enjoy them. It's also a great way to teach younger kids the concept of an bank account/ATM - that you can only get out what you put in and the bank isn't just some bottomless cash pit. Quality is pretty good for the price. For younger kids, it seems a little too tedious to enter deposit amounts (for each bill) and withdrawal amounts so ours have never been able to accurately track how much is in it. Plus there's no way for them to track how many Reece's or Hershey bars are stashed away in it. But they do enjoy making deposits and withdrawals and counting how much they have in it. One word of advice - watch out for your credit cards. Both my sons promptly lost the fake cards that comes with it and you need to insert a credit card in the slot to activate the ATM. So when my Amex went missing, it didn't take long to figure out where it was.

If you forget the PIN, you can reset it to 1234 by taking out the batteries. To reprogram your own PIN, enter the current PIN+ENTER, then press ENTER twice more, then the new PIN+ENTER.

I bought this for my daughter who was saving her money in a jar and would recount it every time some one gave her money. Now she just adds it like a deposit at a regular ATM machine and loves that even with change she knows the total. It is great and I would recommend it to any parent who wants to teach their kids the value of saving.

This item is great for teaching the basics on how to save your money. My 9 year old son enjoys the ability to have his own password and the ability to deposit money and withdraw money just as if he is at the bank. He has even figured out a way to use the atm machine as a place to store his gift cards as well. Great idea, and I highly recommend it.

I love the idea of this product. However, it incorrectly counts the value of the coins enterred, counting a nickel as a quarter and a penny as a nickel occasionally, completely making the account balance incorrect. It is unfortunate that such a marvelously creative toy isn't more properly made. Additionally, I don't like how the money drawer just collects the money in a pile, instead of sorting it slightly. If they improved those two items I think it would be an exceptional product.

This was purchased for my seven-year-old daughter as a Christmas gift, and not only has she "played" with it, but she uses it as a means of keeping track of her money. She has spent quite a bit of time learning an important life skill. She checks her balance each time she makes her change deposit, and she has already changed her PIN twice to keep out her older brothers! Great toy for teaching kids how to manage their money, and use technology to do so.

Ok..so I can understand colors may vary - it might be darker or lighter or within the same color family...but pink??? that is a little drastic. I ordered one of these for my son for Christmas. I was aware of the "color may vary" disclaimer - but again, I was thinking "different shade of blue or gray"...but it came pink. If the colors vary that much then they need to give you a choice at check-out. I dont like having to replace a gift I have already decided on and I dont like taking the time to return something. I like shopping from Amazon and the purchases come very quickly but I am disappointed in this experience Summit Zillions Deluxe ATM - Colors May Vary.

The only thing that is a touch confusing is that when you insert bills - you need to enter the amount of each bill one at a time, rather than putting all of the bills in and then entering the total amount.

My 11 year old daughter was keeping her money in a plastic egg and then misplacing it on a regular basis. I thought this ATM might be an interesting place for her to keep money and be able to see what she was saving plus it's a lot bigger than a plastic egg and harder to loose. The first machine had some problem with the batteries and they needed replacement 3 times in the first two weeks. It was impossible to read the screens minutes after the new batteries were inserted. I returned the first machine which was very easy, I had never returned anything to Amazon before. The new machine works great, came with functioning batteries and I think my daughter may be on her way to financial success!

If you are expecting the gray and blue machine, beware. Apparently a pink toy is an appropriate color variation of the pictured toy! I've received and returned 2 already. Good luck!

My nephew loved the ATM I got him for Xmas. He likes its features and the security - he doesn't have to keep all his gift money in wallets in his room. Its all locked up inside!
