Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, Let me say that I am very satisfied with this Currency Counter. I have read many negative reviews in which people seem to expect way too much from a sub $300 machine. (Please don't hate me for this... Hang in there and keep reading...) If you REALLY need exact counterfeit detection, this is probably not the machine for you. If you are asking for it to count mixed bills, again, this is probably not the machine for you. You are setting your expectations too high. extremely high, I would say, and you are bound for disappointment. On the other hand, if all you want is a simple, YET effective bill counter then this is definitely the machine for you. This was my expectation and maybe that's why I am so satisfied with it. All I wanted was a "Simple" BILL counter, that would tell me how many bills it processed and I also wanted it to make stacks of 25 for me (as when making packets of $500 with all $20 dollar bills). It outperforms in all of this! So for those of you who require "MUCH" more may I suggest to you a super nice system? It is expensive though, but it is amazingly accurate and it is "Bank Grade". It is a machine by Cummins Allison, called the JetScan Money Counters & Currency Scanners. Be warned though, they are about $1,700! For those of you whom would love for it to do "Mixed" Bills? Ummmm, you're not going to have that for Sub $300.... eeem, You should go for the JetScan iFX Money Counting Machines again by Cummins Allison, and Uumm (Cough) they are about $2,700! So, the moral of this review is not to bash on anyone, but to properly inform. Let's take everything constructively. So I repeat, SET your expectations appropriately. You get what you pay for.
