HFS Bill Money Counter Worldwide Currency Cash Counting Machine UV & MG Counterfeit

I struggle to find words that can express how happy I am with this purchase. I know it's early on and I haven't used it for many months but I've run several thousand physical bills through this machine so far and it is just remarkable how accurate and problem free it is. Yes i've had it hiccup once or maybe twice but 99 out of 100 times it's spot on. It counts insanely fast and the different detection modes and adjustable sensitivity makes you feel like you should have paid 10 times more for it. This is no cheap lightweight piece of crap. I know i'm probably starting to sound like I got paid to write this review but I promise you that this machine is not going to disappoint you and you can close your eyes and purchase one with confidence. It's probably at least twice as heavy as it looks being made of plastic that is so solid that it feels like metal. It also did in fact come with all of the spare parts shown in the picture as well as the additional "point of sale" type display. It will also count any type of currency and it's not restricted to any range of specific bills. It will actually count similarly sized pieces of plain paper as long as you set it to ignore magnetic and uv detection. In my experiment I cut a plain sheet of printer paper to the exact size of a dollar bill and set it to UV detection only and it caught the fake bill every time. I can't really see how they could have possibly made this machine any better.... Except for one small thing!This is only the smallest issue and for all I know there is a setting that I haven't figured out as yet to rectify this issue but in my opinion it starts to count the bills so quickly you have to be extra careful when placing the bills into it or it will start counting before you settle the bills in place properly which can result in a miscount or an error. I've gotten used to it and I am yet to read the manual properly to determine if this can be adjusted but I wish it had a default 1 or 2 second delay after detecting that there were bills ready to be counted. If you use the Batch feature this isn't as much of an issue. Either way I can't imagine that there's a better currency counting machine out there than this one even at double the price. Get one you won't regret it.

One of the best bill counters for a relatively low cost.

This makes counting the bank at work so much faster and easier! It works well with brand new bills that we sometimes get from the bank. These as-yet-uncirculated ones and fives are almost impossible to count by hand because they stick together, but this machine zips right through them. It also works well on worn bills. I work in a nightclub and there may be no easy way to say this with any decorum, but sometimes I have to count hundreds and hundreds of one dollar bills that have been given as tips to our dancers. Yes. Underwear money. It's wrinkled, creased, and sometimes even quite moist. This machine counts them anyway.The only adjustment I've had to make is that sometimes you get the "counterfeit" error message when counting ones. To combat this, I just turn the Ultraviolet Counterfeit Detection feature off and then turn it back on when counting larger denomination bills.

I want to make this review because people have go to know what a workhorse this is. I don't baby this machine at all and it is beat to no end. I throw it in a gym bag in my hot car and it sits there for a week or more, I drop it, I rip the cords out, the machine gets slammed, etc. I hook it back in to count and BAM no more second guessing big counts and I stop wasting time. This is a great budget machine.

If you are looking for a money counter in order to save time I would absolutely avoid this one. It simply does not work. I have attempted to use two separate counters and they both were very poor. They would jam continuously and the worst part is count inaccurately. The first one I received would only power on when it felt like it which might've been a bad connection but it also jammed and counted incorrectly. I decided to return it and order another as sometimes you get a lemon. Well the next one I received powered on consistently but would jam even more frequently. I ended up having to count all the bills by hand. When I brought the bills into the bank the one time I struggled with getting though all the counting, the count was completely wrong.This thing is a piece of junk. I don't normally write reviews but this thing is that bad.

Works ok except for one major flaw. When you load the bills in you have to be holding it at just the right angle or the machine will jam. I thought you could just put the bills in the intake area and let the machine do the counting. Not so. You have to be holding the bills just the right way and lower them just the right way or the machine will jam. Once you get the hang of it, it works fine. But if you're looking for a counter where you can just set the bills in and let the machine count them for you, this is NOT the machine for you.

Price is too good to be true, built quality seems pretty ok, and it is extremely fast , picking up fake bills flawlessly. The biggest drawback is the acuruacy of counting. I do experience miss count for many times when stacking 50+ old bills. End up use it beside the counter as counterfeit bill detector (in my bar where light source is limited). I also don't like to place bill vertically instead of laying flat on the top of the counting machine. Not a bad buy for under $100.

It works perfectly with Brazilian Real bills. The only problem I have had so far was the counterfeit detection for R$2,00 bills (the smallest ones we have in Brazil) that detected all the bills as fakes. Maybe that happened because the bills are so small, compared to all the others, that they do not reach the counterfeit "detectors/mechanisms". But turning off both counterfeit detection modes the machine counts the bills precisely.Just hope it has a long lifespan!!
