We purchased this for occasional large-load use for a large church. We don't need something particularly fast since we won't need it frequently. But on those occasions when we need a coin counter, it's because we have hundreds to thousands of coins to count. We need it to be reliable: we need it to complete the job and do so accurately. When this sorter arrived we unpacked it and tested it with a large load of coins. Our plan was to run the same load of about 200 coins through three times, expecting to get the same value/count with each run. Observations through those three runs: 1) It was slower than we expected it to be. Not necessarily a problem, but it was a surprise (as we didn't have high expectations anyway). 2) The product description advertises "Anti-jam feature", but it jammed three times. 3) It sometimes put pennies into the nickel stack. 4) The three runs through the same load of coins produced three different counts/values. This is not reliable enough for our needs. It might be acceptable for small loads of change (15 or 20 coins, maybe?) for personal use. -boster
