Card shuffler 1-4 DECKS

There are literally dozens of these--that all look identical--on Amazon. I picked one, this one, at random and crossed my fingers. I am pleased to report that it works great for shuffling up to a full Uno deck with little problems. There are occasional cards that get flipped or vertical when shuffling, but this happens infrequently. And when it does, it's a simple matter to just pull the card out of the machine and put it into the deck. Overall a good value if you're looking for something like this. One thing to note, of course, is that any shuffler like this will simply do a riffle shuffle, the same as you would if you did it by hand. A single riffle shuffle doesn't introduce a lot of randomness into your deck. To keep from having slightly-shuffled runs in your deal, you should run the deck through 3-5 times, and when putting the cards into the stacks, try to pull cards from the middle of the deck instead of just cutting it about halfway. This will speed things up over manual shuffling, though and it's good for people who have trouble handling the cards due to the size of their hands, arthritis, etc.

Got this to shuffle the large Uno deck we use. My daughter has trouble shuffling cards and always had to have someone else do it for her. Now she can easily shuffle with this device. It's fun to watch her as she taps the lever to shuffle over and over to shuffle slowly. It works very well but will sometimes flip a card upside down or have them land along the side of the rest of the deck. It's cheep plastic and looks like it will easily break, but so far it has held up well.

TLDR: good value and worth having. This shuffler does its job well enough to be a good value. The caveat here is that it is a new item, and only used a little, so I can't speak to how long the unit will last. The downsides here are that it does feel very cheap, sometimes the cards will stack vertically against the walls of the shuffled deck area, the card tray is a little looser than I would like, and it is rather loud. I also found the unit worked better when I kept a finger on the top window of the shuffled card area and simultaneously a finger or two on the shuffled card tray which helped to curb the cards sticking to the sidewall issue. Despite those niggling items, I still recommend this unit as none of that is deal-breaking. I would remove the batteries for storage so they don't leak inside the housing.

The worst shuffler ever. I thought they were all the same until we saw my sister-in-laws shuffler in action. It's perfect! Nit this one; From upside down cards, cards stuck in the side and having the push cards thru, it's a waste of time and money!

We love to play cards with family and friends and some of the games we like use multiple decks. However, I am older and have rheumatoid arthritis, especially in my hands and have had multiple surgeries. And I would always ask my husband to shuffle for me since I could barely do it myself. This card shuffler is amazing! It is so fun! Now, everyone wants to use it! I love it. I am constantly looking for gadgets and tools that help me deal with my arthritis and this is now my favorite! We bought the 4 deck option since 4 decks is required for our favorite game. Need more capacity? Just run them through separately. Takes 4 C batteries, which is a challenge if you don't normally have those on hand. I buy them in bulk at the warehouse store. So glad I found this!

It works but not very well. You have to hold the cards on both sides in order for them to feed in the machine. And it flips them upside down.

Works great. Gave to my 8 year old grandchild.

fun to have one, players know you cant cheat lol
