We are a small family run farm and we go to farmer's markets every weekend plus we open up our farm for visitors and such. I needed something portable and within our very limited price range. Best thing is the wonderful job it does on taxes! We have food items which are a totally different price than our non-food items and now I don't have to go a bunch of extra steps at the end of the day. I also know what products are selling and making us money and which I can almost cut out or cut back on. Yeah - pushing the cash drawer to make it pop out can sometimes be a hassle, but one I'm willing to deal with - I found it prints faster with new batteries (which by the way seem to last forever!). I replace the C batteries 2-3 times PER YEAR and we use the machine every weekend almost. The smaller batteries which hold the information of the PLU's and such I don't change very often (maybe 1x per year). I am having a problem with the roller at this point - but it might just need to be replaced as it is now 2 years old. We are in the market for a 2nd one and recommend this one to a lot of people.

It's okay if you are in an area where you don't have access to electricity. It's very slow to print. It can be frustrating if your customers are in a hurry. Otherwise, it work well for us. I also didn't like the fact that you can & have to push on the drawer to open it. It does not open automatically when you finish the transaction.

This is not a bad register. it works well. It is a bit slow. You have to push on the drawer to open it. One good improvement would be if it could take the carbonless journal tape rolls to be able to give a copy of the receipt and to keep one for my records. Other than that, it serves it's purpose.

Photos and diagrams in the manual that came with the Royal 115CX were few and far between, and text was very technical and difficult to follow. No diagram included with the register (purchased new) that even showed which key was the subtotal key. Spent almost one week trying to program the register.

Bought this register for use at a farmers market but found one bothersome problem that forced me to return it. It has an automatic shutoff when the register is not being used continuously (to save your batteries) and cannot be turned on again unless you remove the "c" batteries and reinstall them. Also, the on/off switch is beneath the paper tape cover which makes it inconvenient because you have to rethread the paper tape through the cover opening. Also, it is very slow in operation and when it gets busy, it cannot keep up. I'm better off going with a higher end register and use a rechargeable battery pack.

This is an easy cash register to program. It took me about 5 minutes to program the date, time, & tax rate. This register is powered by 4 "C" batteries. It is a little slow on spinning receipts and the receipts are very generic - but so be it.

We do trade shows. 110V Power costs extra (power cord is included just in case), typically as much as the rent for 1 table (so bring extra batteries).

All in all I would say it rocks!

This has been a workhorse item, using it at trade shows where no electrical connection was purchased. As a battery operated unit, it does the job well, even if it is a little tricky to program. Once you master that, it does a good job keeping track of what transactions you make and being able to give a customer a receipt adds to the experiencing of making a purchase with cash at open-market places. Put Duracells in it and it seems to run forever. Pardon the simplicity of the review, but if you get it for what it can do, operate independent of electrical connections, you will appreciate its abilities.

I am very pleased with my Royal cash register and would purchase one again from this company

this unit is too slow on batteries, will not print a journal receipt, and the power adapter that came with it is a universal adapter so you need to set the voltage, and it did not work. a change box is easier.

We do several arts and crafts festivals each year. We use to just have a cash bag and then we got a black box to make change out of. It was such a hastle, no organization at all. With the Royal Cash register our money is organized. It's so easy to make change and give reciepts if the customer wants one. Best of all is the reports feature for end of day reports for all transactions. We have only used it twice so far, but we're still on the first set of batteries. The printing is a little slow but not so much as to be annoying. Documentation could be improved on. Other than that, we love it!
