3.0 out of 5 stars Gets the job done with a few issues, September 15, 2006

This is the fastest and quietest low priced coin sorter I've used. It's probably a bit overkill if you're just looking for something at home to dump your pocket change into at the end of the day but if you have a small business and want to save some counting time, it's not a bad compromise to a heavy duty professional system.

The way the multiple tubes work is the machine keeps track of how many it's dumped into a tube and stops when it thinks it's full. Pushing or pulling the slider moves a fresh tube into place and the machine starts back up automatically. There's three rows but the outer one is just for convenience and the slider only moves the back two under the output chute.

There's two problems:

Sometimes coins will not drop into the tube but fall to the side. This is not a big deal if you see it because you can grab it and drop it in, but if you miss it your rolls will be short. To make sure my counts are accurate, I also use a digital kitchen scale to check they're all within a gram weight of each other.

The bigger problem is if you drop something into it that's bent or two large, it ends up tumbling around forever, and there's no easy mechanism to clear it out. I accidently got a Kennedy half dollar and two Susan B's in there on the first use. You can take it apart to clear it but there's no instructions on how to do that, and the non-mechanically inclined will probably not be comfortable doing it. Here's some quick instructions:

* Unplug the unit and remove the tubes

* Remove the three phillips screws from the base

* Lift up the case cover an inch or so and disconnect the electrical connection on the right side that goes to the display

* Lift the case off and catch the spacer ring that falls out

* Lift off top of the tumbler and remove whatever bad coins are in there.

* Reverse the process. That spacer ring sits on top of the tumbler cover and goes around the input chute.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny..., March 23, 2007

This coin sorter works very well with the exception of one minor quirk. Sometimes it kicks out the coins so fast, one or two might bounce of out it's designated space and end up between the tubes or in the next one throwing your count off. That's the only thing you really have to watch for. I'd recommend a kitchen scale or something to weigh the rolls upon completion just to be sure. A 50 cent piece accidentally got in the mix and while it did not hinder the performance of the machine, it was very easy to get out. (it just bounced around in there, annoying more than anything) The main cover has only three tiny screws and that gives you easy access to the sorter to pull out anything that shouldn't be there. Overall, a great time saver.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best out there, February 19, 2008

This is a great unit. Sorting coins is easy and fast. The only issue that I have with it is counting the same types of coins and having it jam up on me. For example, I have a container of dimes that I want to sort so I dump a big handful into the hopper and it starts sorting. After it gets through 20 or so it starts to jam up with too many dimes in the chute and will occasionally overflow into the penny section. The best way I can describe it is a double feed. If you have a set of coins of the same type the best way to fix it will be to put the coins in a small handful at a time and let it finish, then put in another set of coins. I don't have this problem when counting different types of coins.

If you have a lot of coins to sort through, the best method to sort through them quickly is to start with the slots pushed all the way in so the middle tube is the first one filled. Once it's full, pull the slot out so the rear slot starts filling while you are sealing the end of the first one. If you do this in reverse where you fill the rear one first, then the middle one, you will have to wait until it's full before pulling out the rear slot. You will also have to stop the machine because it will restart when you pull the slot out to get the rear one.

Great machine overall.
