MAESTON 17E electronic coin bank safe for children review

A children's coin bank on a shelf of safes — and the listing says so in its own title.

The conclusion A children's coin bank with an electronic keypad, and the title says so without pretense. It is a reasonable thirty dollars for a money box that teaches a child to set a code. On a shelf of home safes it publishes almost nothing — one of the five things this shelf compares — and the same thirty dollars buys a 0.23 cubic foot steel safe with two bolts and fixings elsewhere in this group.

What the maker puts in writing

  • Small safe box for kids
  • Electronic password coin bank
  • Mini money safe

No capacity. No dimensions. No material. No thickness. No anchoring. No grade.

The title is honest

A coin bank, and it says so.

Small safe box for kids. Electronic password coin bank. Mini money safe.

It is a money box with a keypad, and nothing on the page claims otherwise.

One of five columns

What this shelf compares, and what this page gives.

Stated grade. Body and door thickness. Anchoring. Lock type. Usable internal space.

This publishes the lock type, as the word electronic.

What thirty dollars buys instead

Three safes in this group cost between twenty-five and thirty dollars.

Each is 0.23 cubic feet of steel with two locking bolts, pre-drilled mounting holes and expansion bolts in the box.

If the requirement is a coin bank, this is the object. If it is somewhere to put a passport, it is not — and the money is the same.

Availability

On sale at around $30 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

What reassures, and what does not

Strengths

  • The listing says plainly what it is: a coin bank for children
  • An electronic keypad, which is the part a child enjoys
  • Thirty dollars, which is coin-bank money rather than safe money
  • Small enough to sit on a shelf in a bedroom
  • A password a child can set and change teaches something worth learning
  • Nothing about it pretends to be a security product

Compromises

  • No capacity, no dimensions, no material and no thickness
  • No anchoring, no grade and no fire rating
  • It is not a safe, and should not be used as one
  • Nothing on the page describes the mechanism beyond the word electronic
  • The other ten products in this group are security safes
  • Thirty dollars buys a 0.23 cubic foot steel safe elsewhere in this group

The questions we are asked

Is this a safe?

No, and the listing does not claim it is: the title reads small safe box for kids, electronic password coin bank, mini money safe. It is a money box with a keypad. This shelf's introduction above is about bolting safes down and reading stated grades, and none of that applies here — there is no grade, no anchoring, no thickness and no capacity published. Treat it as a toy that teaches a child to set a code, which is a reasonable thirty-dollar purchase and a poor place for anything that matters.

What would thirty dollars buy instead?

A 0.23 cubic foot steel safe with two locking bolts, pre-drilled mounting holes and expansion bolts supplied — there are three of them in this group at between twenty-five and thirty dollars. Those are small, but they are steel boxes that bolt to a floor or a shelf and resist a hand. If the requirement is a child's coin bank, this is the right object; if it is anywhere to put a passport, it is not, and the same money buys something that is.

Does it publish anything at all?

A price, a name, and that it has an electronic password. Of the five things this shelf's introduction says this shelf compares — stated grade, body and door thickness, anchoring, lock type and usable internal space — this listing publishes one: the lock type, as the word electronic. That is less than any other product in this group, and consistent with what it is. The honest reading is that the page is a toy listing and the shelf it landed on is a shelf of safes.

Against the rest of the home safes

Between security devices of the same category and nearby price. Shown: what they all state. A half-filled column says nothing.
