5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Register and super easy to program. Highly recommended, June 28, 2007

This is the first register i've owned. And it's a charm, i though the programming would be hard. But it is super easy with the included software. Use the software, trying to program and set up things like your logo for receipts will take a lot of time, using the register. Connect the included USB cable to the register and your pc and it becomes a breeze. Programming the tax, reciept logo, PLU (price look up) and Departments was fun.

No only was i up and running in no time, one click and all the days sales is downloaded directly into quickbooks. I don't need a printout from the register. I get full data on all the days sales, from the time they were made, the clerk, how much each department sold, etc etc. You can also download this information to a SD card to read and print from another pc. So far everything is running smooth, I don't have any complaints. Even giving a % discount works correctly, read the manual it will help you understand how to get that done.

This register is perfect for small business such as retail stores. You can even program this register with an ID just in case you have more than one register in your store.

I really enjoy the use of the sharp xe - 203, as i stated in the beginning, this is my first register, so i do have a lack of experience with other register. I'm a pc guy so i know good tech products when i see them, but i know them better once i use them. I recommended this for any and all small business owners who need a cash register. And the price is also another good selling point.

All in all this is a good cash register, easy to program.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Cash Register Than I Expected, September 9, 2008

I researched cash registers before choosing this model from Sharp. It
has just what I need, and many features that I found on more expensive models, for a good price. It's a Sharp, so it should be reliable and last.

It's nice looking sitting on the counter in our shop, and it has the customer display window on the back of the unit. A big thing to me -- this model does not have the inconvenient roller-ink system that comes on so many of the cheaper machines. I don't have to deal with re-inking periodically. It's perfect for my small family business, I would choose the same machine again, and buy it from Amazon.

I gave it a four-star rating instead of a five-star due to the instructions. We struggled with those until we realized that what is written on the quick-start sheet is not exactly the same as the manual, or perhaps we needed more detail because cash registers are new to us. We learned to refer to the manual on everything. This Sharp is easy to program and use following the manual, and getting the routine down. Just take an hour or so and work with it. When you make an error it shows on the display and with a beep, you clear it and try again. This cash register will do logos also, a nice feature others in this price range do not offer. We are working with it on our logo graphic now, but the receipts look fine and professional without it.

Amazon.com (the merchant was Buy.com) had the best price on
this Sharp new in the box, I found the same thing in stores for over $[...]. I paid around $[...] and got free and quick shipping, a great deal for this cash register brand new. There are refurbished units widely available at various dealers online, and on eBay, for even less. We thought a new machine, with full warranty and support, was the right choice for us.

Sharp is maybe the oldest electronic cash register manufacturer in the world and the best of all of them. This cash register is a little titan that packs simplicity of operation, sturdiness, and reliability. For an about to open small business is more than enough. You will not need more than this machine in a long, long, long time. I assure you may, God forbid, go out of business, close the store, go to something else, and she will still be there.
