GStar Money Counter with UV/MG/IR Counterfeit Bill Detection Plus External Display with Warranty, American Brand, American Seller

High quality easy for use

Unfortunately I couldn't use it even for once that way I bought another one from Amazon again and it's cheaper and works great

Okay, well, maybe that's a bit much, that it's a life changer, but, seriously, when you have to do deposits frequently, and people often decide to pay with a pile high stack of one dollar bills or whatever, it can get pretty frustrating, doing it by hand.So, I took a chance on this one, despite it being much lower in price than other ones -- which kind of breaks the rule of "you get what you pay for" because, in this case, it leaves me wondering why other companies charge so much?This works GREAT! I bought the "Deluxe" version, because I liked that it had a front facing display, and, considering it is only twenty dollars more than the basic model, it seemed worth it. Once up to paying a hundred bucks, another twenty isn't a deal breaker.There's not much to say in terms of "reviewing" a range of features or whatever, because it just brilliantly does what it does -- feed it a stack of bills, and it will tell you how many bills you have! So, it's much easier to match the receipt to the bills, because you don't have to hand count the bills anymore, and of course, for the overall deposit, it's a breeze to know how many of each denomination you have.As others have said, no, it does not "add up" the currency values for you, and doesn't read different denominations, but those are features that cost at least three or four times more, at minimum, and in fact mostly run well over a thousand bucks for a machine like that, so we're really happy at this price point and all we really need are the bills counted. We already have software that does the rest anyway, so this takes care of what was once the most time consuming part of the job.What really floored me was the speed! It's faster than the one used at the bank! It was so fast it actually startled me, haha, the first time I ran a stack of bills through it. I didn't expect it to fly through the counting so fast!The machine is solid, heavy, well built, yet doesn't take up a lot of space. Even came with a replacement belt and a cleaning brush. All in all, I am extremely impressed and very happy with this purchase.If you have money counting needs, this will most certainly make your life a whole lot easier!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I have the deluxe model which includes IR testing. Overall it's a great time saver.PROS:o) fast and sturdyo) accurate (but I still count twice to be sure)o) capable of batch counting (spits out N bills at a time up to 100)o) can accumulate counts (Add mode)o) UV and MG detection can be turned off if neededo) comes with some replacement parts and a cleaning brusho) hopper tightness is adjustable if needed (may loosen over time)CONS:o) runs as soon as bills are place in the hopper (some may think this a PRO)o) requires some practice putting bills in because it starts running on its owno) doesn't detect denominationso) provides count only -- no denomination settingo) no way to test if UV/MG/IR detection is workingo) handles only about 50 bills at a time

Fast machine that's extremely accurate but finicky with how you place the money. It requires that you carefully place the money in the feeder otherwise it will jam and you'll have to start over. Once you learn how to correctly place the stack of bills in the machine it's actually an excellent, accurate, time saving machine!
