Ultra Sorter Motorized Coin Sorter Turn pennies into dollars! This automatic coin sorter uses a new sorting technology that quickly transforms messy piles of loose change into more manageable money. The Ultra Sorter instantly sorts pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar coins right into 5 separate coin tubes with or without the preformed paper wrappers. Drop up to 20 coins into the hopper, push the button, and watch as it sorts, counts and stacks coins rapidly. A handy, easy-access overflow tray collects all coins that spill off the top of the full coin tubes. Just pull the drawer forward and lift out the filled coin tube and - presto - you have bank-ready rolls of coins! Sample coin wrappers included. Requires two “C” batteries (not included). Dimensions: 9.88″H x 7.81″W x 6.88″d.
Customer Review: Broke down after a few months
The slide tray, after several months usage (no more than twenty times total) wont slide back in. There seems to be no access to the slide mechanism to try to fix it.
