* Subverted by ''ComicBook/{{Herbie}}''. When he needs to travel through time, he often flies in his family's grandfather clock. Note that it's an ordinary clock, as Herbie can travel through time without it thanks to his [[PowerUpFood lollipops]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode, "[[Recap/RugratsS2E1ToyPalaceSandHo Toy Palace]]", the Wee Willy Warp Time Translator is a fully functional time machine. This isn't one of the babies' [[ImagineSpot imagine spots]], either[[note]]The first one happens in its sister episode, "Sand Ho!"[[/note]]. During the episode's climax, the life-sized Reptar doll that Tommy turns on pushes the life-sized Thorg doll that was chasing him and Chuckie throughout the store into the time machine, causing it to send Thorg back to the time period when Washington crossed the Delaware River. The time machine also serves as the basis for the ''Time Travellers'' video game for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor, where it sends the babies to different time periods, and the goal of the game is to rescue them all.

** In ''VideoGame/{{The Legend of Zelda Oracle|Games}} of Ages'', the Harp of Ages can at first only open Time Portals in fixed spots, is later upgraded twice: The first upgrade makes it Timecop-style, transporting Link to the past while opening a return portal; the second upgrade allows Link to freely between the game's two time periods; the present, and 400 years into the past.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' has two time portals, one in Lanayru and the other at the Sealed Grounds. Past!Impa uses one to help Zelda in the present day, but she has to destroy it halfway through the game to get Zelda and herself away from Ghirahim. The latter half of the game sees Link obtaining the means to get the other portal up and running so he can follow Zelda into the
past.

* As mentioned in the lead, ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' has one built out of a [[CoolCar DeLorean]], because Doc Brown thought that "if you're gonna time travel, why not do it in style?" (and the writers thought a car time machine fixed the problem of the time traveller needing to go between places)

It also acknowledged a potential problem: if you're bringing the time machine with you... what happens if it gets damaged or otherwise rendered inoperable?
