Works as stated. Easy to operate. A little noisy but if little ones sleeping.

I've purchased others in the past and was skeptical to try another but we are so happy we did!! Thank you!!!

If you need to shuffle 3 or 4 decks, this is the shuffler I use. I play a game requiring 4 decks and the thought of shuffling them by hand is daunting. This machine shuffles four decks in seconds. Liked it so well I bought a second one as a gift.

This shuffler works great NOW and I would have given it a 5 star rating EXCEPT for the fact that we needed to fix it to get it working. It must happen a lot because there were large instructions included about what to do if it didn't work properly. The plastic gears rub and won't turn until you push them back into place with a small tool. It was easy to do, but still a bit frustrating that it's not made well enough to just work as expected.

The price matched what we got, which was kind of lightweight and plastic. The craftsmanship is about what one would expect for the price. My wife and I play a lot of card games, but mostly use cards that are not the standard 52-card deck, such as Uno, Skip-Bo, and so on. Skip-Bo in particular uses vast amounts of cards, I think 160 or so. We got really tired of shuffling cards, and even if we did it what we thought was thoroughly, some of the hands would really suck--lots of cards of one color or type, etc.
We just took a chance on this. At first we regretted the purchase. The thing is, you kind of have to work with it and watch closely how it works. Our game cards are typically smaller than regular playing cards. The game cards did not work well in it at first. That is, they are divided into two piles, and one pile would got through shuffler and the other would just sit there. But regular playing cards, slightly larger, worked fine.
Then we discovered that the size was not the thing. In typical shuffling by hand, the cards can develop a slight bow such that when laid flat on a surface, the middle of the card is elevated off the surface slightly. That was the problem. This shuffler uses a gear located under the middle of each card it shuffles to grab and move it, and if the card is bowed, the gear does not contact the card. (it is not unlike the was a printer works)
Additionally, if I adjusted the angle of the outside of each stack of cards in the shuffler by raising slightly, and my wife operated the on button on the other side of the shuffler, it worked every time.
Hope this helps. (pretty long) In short we are satisfied with the purchase, can make it work, and it saves a lot of time and effort.
