Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works like a charm!

We'd been looking for a small unit such as this one and after using it at shows for three months it's shown to be exactly what we were looking for. It's fast and accurate with little to no errors, very easy to use I highly recommend purchasing one.

Pros
  • good products
Cons
  • Have to ran each bill 4/5 time before it show pass.

Smaller than I had anticipated, but still does the .

Smaller than I had anticipated, but still does the job with occasional "fail"s coming up, and worrying me. Overall, just needs a 2nd or 3rd scan when failed, and then it should pass. Used for personal use, not business requirements, but comes with a warning sticker of a cash scanner that you may put in your store, if necessary.

Pros
  • With its sleek and modern design, this counterfeit detector looks great on any desk or countertop, adding a touch of professionalism to any business setting
Cons
  • May take up too much space in small environments

Quick and easy to use!

Easy to use. Only one time that we were not sure the outcome is true or fault. Most time we can trust it. Limited storage options for bills or documents.

Pros
  • This device is incredibly affordable compared to other counterfeit detectors on the market, making it a great choice for small businesses, non-profits, and households
Cons
  • Limited storage options for bills or documents

Best for business on my review.

Bought "used". Came in original box with all manuals. It's a no brainer anywhere you need to accept cash. A yes or no appears . Just make you have it aligned and facing proper way, it's quick and efficient and takes little time to use while accepting cash transactions. A must for any business.

Pros
  • Compact and lightweight, the InstaCheck will fit anywhere the authenticity of cash may need to be verified.
Cons
  • May not work well with crumpled, folded, or worn bills

Received a dead product in the box

Product would not power on straight out of the box. Customer service offered to replace the unit but you may be better off purchasing a different brand to avoid the hassle.

Pros
  • Working good
Cons
  • May require regular software updates for optimal performance

I have 3 of these and love them

In our area there are a lot of crooks that try to use fake bills. We've been stuck before, several times, even using all kinds of other counterfeit detection methods.This machine is great and we have not had one fake bill since. It's very quick and doesn't interrupt the payment process. My customers don't mind us using it. No machine can be 100% accurate every single time so if a bill doesn't pass the first time we put it through again and again. If it doesn't pass after the 3rd or 4th time…

Pros
  • Advanced counterfeit money detector: scans money and cross-references a comprehensive database of infrared, magnetic and ultraviolet markings to confirm authenticity
Cons
  • May be difficult to repair or replace if malfunction occurs

Gives False Reading

This machine is great except when the bill has been folded or wrinkled. It then gives a false reading that he bill is fake.

Pros
  • NA
Cons
  • May not work well with older or damaged bills

Good for the price - my new review

Fast and accurate. Bill must be flat (no folded corners) and must be inserted the same way. Doesn not read older bills May require operator training for proper use and maintenance!

Pros
  • The Cassida InstaCheck detector quickly and accurately verifies the authenticity of currency, saving you time and hassle
Cons
  • May require operator training for proper use and maintenance

Bought approximately 2 weeks ago. Received 120 in fake bills in a one week window prior to buying. Decided to spend 130 on the machine that gives a clear pass/fail. So far it has been working very well. Not receiving very many false fails on 50's and 100's. It doesn't work well with heavily worn or wrinkled bills. I have set up a system with my cashiers to use to verify the larger bills. 3 fails in a row means handing the bill back to the customer and letting them know that the bill is suspect.

Pros
  • Works really fast
Cons
  • Wry temperamental machine. Sometimes it works sometimes it takes a few times to get an accurate answer

Broken in 2 month best in my review

Worked great at our small store. However, 2 months later, when we insert a bill the paper feeder keeps running and the light will not go on. I will contact customer service and see if they will replace. I will update my review shortly to describe their customer service experience.

Pros
  • Pretty decent product. Accuracy is spot on.
Cons
  • Accuracy is a crap-shoot!

Nice machine. for my opinion

I bought this machine for my restaurant. I work with money if I’m not sure I use this machine to be sure. Confirm a bill’s authenticity very quick with a clear "Pass” or "Fail” indication. It’s so easy and simple.

Pros
  • This detector is capable of detecting a range of security features, including holograms, security threads, and microprints, among others
Cons
  • Limited output options for analyzing or comparing detected bills

Accurate and easy to use .worth it!

Best investment for cash handlers. Some time it reads a bill wrong. If it’s real it can say it’s fake but pass it through again and it will pass.but it has never read a fake bill as a pass.But still accurate 99.9%.once people see you have this machine, chances are they will not even try passing counterfeit bill as payment in your place of business

Pros
  • Very Good! Good product for the price, super easy to use.
Cons
  • Requires regular maintenance and cleaning for longevity

New Customer Service Manager honored the warranty!

I am amending my previous 1-Star review. Andy Jones, Cassida's new Technical Service Manager is GREAT! He looked at the open service ticket, where they wouldn't honor the warranty, and retroactively honored it. He personally brought me a new unit and took away the old unit. If their service had been like this from the start, they would have all 5-star ratings, I'm sure. They admitted there was an issue with the old units (2018 and before) that has now been corrected. My contact with Andy has…

Pros
  • It’s easy to used but sometime need like 3 times to check the money to pass
Cons
  • May not be able to detect advanced counterfeit techniques

Broke in 45 days of use

We used this to scan large bills in our restaurant. It worked fairly well, but only for a month and a half. It just stopped working entirely. Just spits bills right through without scanning now.

Pros
  • With its automatic detection system, this device is incredibly user-friendly, making it a great choice for anyone who wants to quickly and easily verify the authenticity of their cash
Cons
  • May be affected by electromagnetic interference or other external factors
