Walter gets the job done
We named him Walter. Walter rolls about 500 coins per week of coins for us. Walter has been working for us for almost two years now. Walter has had to be disassembled a handful of times because he got angry that someone put a Susan B Anthony dollar in him. He went on strike until the jammed dollar was removed. And if you feed Walter too fast he can choke on quarters and jam, but once you know Walter does this you won't have a problem. Walter is not friendly when you put odd sized foreign coins in him. Walter is a good guy and I would buy another Walter. If you treat Walter with respect he will work hard for you, but if you abuse him, he can be temperamental. We like how Walter is analog and requires no batteries. Walter counts the coins pretty reliably too. Occasionally Walter will put a dime in the penny roll, but not often. I would recommend Walter to anyone who needs coins rolled. Update 10/18/19. Four years in and Walter is still going. Our Walter is the clear one. Update 12/29/21. Six years in and Walter has announced retirement to us. The plastic is just worn out from weekly use for six years. We rolled an estimated 500 coins a week, for six years, that is 312 Weeks Walter has reported for duty. Averaging 500 coins per week rolled for 312 weeks, Walter has processed north of 150,000 coins. Final thoughts: Walter cost us I believe $39. For his six years of service, he cost us $6.50 per year or 12 cents a week to own. Walter was never perfect but I wonder if any of the other coin machines on Amazon could process 150,000 coins over six years without breaking permanently, or at least giving some trouble. Update 5/11/22. Amazon says we bought Walter on 4/15/15. My wife said Walter walked off the job today. When he was walking out the door, he asked me, "Do you know what useful life is?" I said no. He kind of started to lecture me then, about how this isn't the mid-century anymore where appliances lasted three decades. He started ranting about how he should have been made with metal and not plastic. He said his useful life was over and I needed to accept that and let go. How could I argue? I asked him what he intends to do now. He said he'd like to travel. Wouldn't we all. I ordered a new Walter just now, 5/11/22, (Model QS-2N) which is the same manual crank Analog Walter.
