Science Museum Robot Bank

This is quite possibly one of the most irritating pieces of plastic on the planet. My daughter wanted one of these for ages so when she saw it was in the sale for £9.99 she bought it. They normally retail at £19.99 and are available from Argos, Comet and other retailers. The robot itself looks fairly cool, although a bit more like a spaceman than a robot. Its arms are articulated at the shoulder and wrist allowing it to make annoying whirring noises and move them. The idea behind the money bank is good, it encourages kids to save money by letting them set targets and telling them how much they have saved and how far they have to go. It ...  Read the complete review

I bought this for my son’s Christmas as a little extra present I thought he might like. Before this purchase he was forever emptying out his old piggy bank and counting his pennies the miserly little sod. Now a little bit about my son, He is 7 and a half years old, and doesn’t like spending his own money if he can help it (yup I’ve taught him well) Every time we go shopping he asks for something, I usually say of course you can have it….if you have enough money that is? This usually makes him think twice about wanting it! So back to the Bank... I paid £19.99 for this from Argos and it is also available from www.sciencemuseumstore.com ...  Read the complete review

This is a great present for any kid. A talking robot that keeps an eye on the cash balance. This is a great and fun way for a child to store their money. The robot bank talks and so tells you the exact balance that you have at any time. This is a fun interactive feature which any child (or childish adult) will love. It has slot recognition and this is how it inputs the amount you have into its memory which is extremely helpful as opposed to inputting values into other bank like devices for the home. It also helps you to keep a track of the withdrawals you make asking you if you are 'sure you want to withdrawal'. Your child can make themselves targets that ...  Read the complete review

The Science Museum Robot Bank is a clever idea to get children to save. Not only is it stylish and funky with it's flashing blue eyes but it can also recognise what denomination of money is put into it. Most people will think it recognises the size of the coin but supposedly it works out which coins are put into it by its metal content. It gives the owner a challenge to prove this by asking to put in a froeign coin to see if the robot Bank recognises it or not in the instructions. Many features are also included with this item such as time/date/alarm clock functions, balance display, the ability to set a saving target. If the saver wishes to make a withdrawl ...  Read the complete review
