So pretty much all of these reviews are from people with kids, but I got this for myself and I'm 23 years old (It says for ages 5+, ok? I fit the criteria lol). I was looking through amazon for a counting bank and came upon this. I thought it was so adorable compared to the regular counting banks, so I just had to get it. It works great and counts the money accurately. I had a lot of change saved up, so I put on a movie as I was feeding the piggy. You have to wait a few seconds after you put in each coin so it can read it and add it. It also isn't as easy as just dropping it in...you have to use some force and basically push the coins inside. Overall I think it's great, and this is coming from an adult. I highly recommend this product. :)

Bought two of these for my 3 1/2 year old twins. They are getting at the age where numbers, values, counting, etc. are becoming entertaining to them. The bank does what it says, with some caveats. It is very, very easy to register false reads in the coin slot. And it happens a lot. Half the time I think they do it on purpose as they're just looking to see the number on the pigs snout change. I even went to the trouble once to take all the coins out, reset it, and insert them all myself. And I got a different number on the counter than the actual value of the coins. Two, at least for my boys, it's easy to reset the number. At first I thought they were opening it up when I wasn't around (which is a no-no) till one of my boys explained to me they were able to make it reset just by shaking it. The reset button is a little black button on the underside of the pigs head (inside with the coins). They shake the coins, they hit the button, they reset the count. Even with these items it works well for my children as they are at the age where we're just learning the concepts of money (and saving) and they're not looking for an accurate hard count. I would probably buy these again (with them at the age they are and the purpose I use them for) but they will have to be replaced as they get older.
