CHH Imports 4 Deck Card Shuffler

I was an "old school" shopper, but Amazon has won me over with their products, prices, shipping speed, and service. I am writing this because I so much appreciated the reviews of others. I have used a shuffler for years and was looking to buy some as gifts. This is an excellent shuffler - durable and works as expected. Yes, it's a bit noisy but not a problem. It does the job well. It is wonderful for both my small, older hands and for my grandchildren. Warning - I first tried the shuffler by JOB and it was horrible quality. The battery cover broke the first time I tried to open it! You won't know it uses the under-powered AA batteries unless you read it on the box - battery information SHOULD be listed in the product description. However, I had a great experience with a very easy - and no cost! - return to Amazon. Next tried this shuffler by CHH and am very pleased. Quality is much superior for only a couple dollars more, though I've learned that Amazon prices fluctuate frequently so the savings vary a bit. I will be ordering more of these shufflers and am now a loyal Amazon customer due to their customer service!

Purchased this for the kids. Since kids can't really shuffle cards very well, it's worked out really well. The only issue is they don't seem to be able to get half the deck figured out. It does use 4 C sized batteries, so make sure you have them before it arrives, because the game is on as soon as it hits the porch. Having some indoor fun with my grandkids!

I was disappointed as I was giving this as a gift and it didn't work - had to send for a replacement. When the shuffler does work, it is great! Our family and friends love to play Phase 10 but it is very difficult to shuffle 108 cards by hand. We all own these shufflers and use them all the time. When it starts to have a hard time shuffling but still runs, it is time to get new batteries.

My family plays cards every Friday Night and were sick of hand shuffling so decided to make this purchase. It came with no instructions and even though it's obvious how to use, not everyone might know. Having instructions should be courtesy. It takes 4 "C" Batteries on each side on the bottom - it didn't even have the etched diagram of the type of battery to use (we thought they where size "D"). The + / - signs are on the bottom of the battery cavity and are extremely hard to see without direct light. Again, obvious to me on the positive and negative positions; but not to all.We used the machine on card night and all seemed fine...until we passed about the 10 Shuffle mark. The cards would jam, flip over and mix face up with down, or one side (equally placed) would finish first so the other side would stack on top not shuffling at all. Within this short time of usage the plastic cogs and rollers became dirty and worn out and eventually didn't want to shuffle at all. I would need to put slight pressure on the cards to attempt a successful shuffle. I was so excited to show off my new shuffler but was so embarrassed with my hosted card night. The malfunctioning made it seem like I couldn't use such a simple machine. I hate to say it but this product is garbage and would avoid purchasing it - instead of burning your money on this machine spend a little more for a better quality shuffler. Disgustingly dissatisfied.

My old card shuffler broke - one of the wheels stopped spinning so I thought I'd try this as a replacement. We only use 2 decks of cards but I figured what the heck, I'll get the larger one. After all bigger is better, right? Turns out not so much. The cards actually get stuck on their sides vertically in the "well" which results in some of the cards flipping upside down. We still use the shuffler because it's better than not having one, you just need to go slowly and check carefully to flip the cards back correctly. Next time I'll stick with the 2 card version.

This was a gift for a friend. So far we've run the machine at least a hundred times. It shuffles two decks of cards easily. Though sometimes a card will get misaligned, it 90% of the time will shuffle perfectly. If you have to shuffle over one deck, I'd highly recommend buying this. It's inexpensive, but it makes shuffling kind of fun. The plastic is not the best quality. In fact, I can imagine that it will break if dropped. So, for children--it would be a bad idea. For adults only--a definite buy!

I have had many of these shufflers both 4 deck and six deck, this one uses AA batteries and so far has lasted the longest, we use it almost every day shuffle 4 decks 30 times a day

This shuffler has never been good at shuffling. It won't pick up the cards from the sides without a bit of help. At first I thought it was because I was using new, slick cards. But even with older cards it will not pick them up. If it raise the edge of the cards just a fraction of an inch, it will pick them up. So, to do a good job, it really takes two people, or you can lift the edges with your forefingers (one lifting on each side) while pressing the lever with your thumbs.I tried gluing craft sticks to the outer edge of the shuffler, and it helps a little, but you still need to raise it a bit.
