Classic Game Collection Manual Card Shuffler

This manual shuffler requires no batteries. It holds two decks of cards. The material is plastic so you can't be rough with it. Shuffling requires two hands ... one to hold the shuffler still and one to turn the crank. If you turn the crank smoothly and slowly you get accurately shuffled cards with no jams every time. If this model were available in wood or metal l I would consider buying that. The wood and metal models available that were built well were all "casino style" models which ran $125.00 or more. This was a bargain.

Piece of junk. DidntPiece of junk. Didnt shuffle well. My husband added some pieces of wood to Elevate the card slightly on the edges so it would actually feed better. Worked a little bit better but still needed to press down on the cards to help the feed. Then after using yet to play cards about three times, the handle snapped off. Total garbage. Very expensive.

Then after using yet to play cards about three times, the handle snapped off. Just outside the window of return. Total garbage. Very expensive. Dont waste your time.

This works better than the battery operated one that I have. Since you control the speed it can actually be faster than the electric ones. I have had very few jams and when I do get one it is easy to reverse direction to clear the jam. I have also used it with different sized cards without any problems. It comes with 2 hand cranks which was a pleasant surprise so if you lose one your not stuck. The second one is attached to the bottom of the shuffler. Although it comes with a "catch basket" for the cards I have removed it and find it works just as well and I don't have to keep removing it to get the shuffled cards out.

Works well with plastic cards. Cards occasionally catches on corner of the collector box opposite the crank, this can be sanded to correct.

I have arthritis in my hands and needed this to shuffle cards. It serves that purpose. A couple of times the cards have clogged the machine but that was easily corrected. For a hard core card player (without arthritis in their hands), I would recommend a more sturdy model. But this was what I needed and the price was acceptable.
