This product has undergone extensive practical testing. The card shuffler can be assembled in a matter of seconds. The crank handle supplied with the product allows the cards to be shuffled manually by cranking. The machineis easy to use and the cards are mixed well and evenly. Overall, the shuffler is quite stable, but the crank handle makes a very delicate impression. During testing, there were no problems with the crank handle, so the functionality of the product is flawless. Due to the nature of the product (plastic), the mixer is easy to clean. Contamination could be easily removed with a damp cloth. Overall, the mixing machine impressed us with its good functionality and ease of use.
