KOLIBRI KBR-500 Money Counter Machine Mixed Denomination | Business Grade Cash Counter Machine w/Advanced IR/UV/MG/MT/Counterfeit Detection, Multi-Currency (USD CAD MXN GBP EUR)

This is waste of money it burst into Flames as soon as i plugged it in. I bought it for office but it Never worked for once.

The machine came without UK plug so I had to use the adapter, as soon I switched the machine on it worked for a bit, made a popping sound and the smoke came out. Now I have to return it at my own expense.

Product not fit for purpose in UK. Missold. When try to return, seller not reimburse shipping costs to Las Vegas

This is my first money counter I have purchased..and hopefully my last. I started selling customized bracelets at my local farmers market and at the end of the day it is a bit difficult for me to count and keep track of the cash on hand. I bring along my portable power thank anyway so I plug in this money counter-which uses a standard three-pronged plug, and it works totally fine. The most useful functions for me are the 1) Count function which allows me to see how many bills I have and 2) the Mix function which shows the amount of the bills being counted and the actual number of bills. Since I deal with a lot of the public I’m never sure if the cash I receive is legit so I run their cash through the machine to make sure it isn’t counterfeit. So, far I’ve had no issues. From my personal experience I have found having the feeder wheels positioned with the grip facing up makes my bills go through more smoothly. Lastly, every once in a while I’m left with small bills like 1s and 5s so this money counter has a batch feature so I can have it count out say 10 or 20 ones to pay my helpers. It makes it much faster and easier to do especially having them watch the machine do it in front of them

A+++++

I was looking for a bill counter that can accurately count and detect fake bills for my business when I stumbled upon this Kolibri unit. The price was a bit high for my budget but given its features, I decided to give the machine a shot. I didn’t have any fake bills around, so I bought a stack of fake ones from Amazon to test out the fake bill detection performance. Aside from some Chinese letters and lack of a magnetic ink, the dimensions, weight, and look of the bill were near identical to real bills. After some testing with a stack of half fake and half real bills, WOW does this thing sort and separate the fakes from the real ones. **PROS** - This thing is fast and accurate. I placed a stack of 200 bills and the machine counted the value of strictly real bills while effortlessly sorting out the fake bills, all without a single stop! - No more need to orient several bills yourself! Let’s say I have a stack of bills of random orientation and denomination and I want to orient them and sort by denomination. I first use the sort function to get all of my $1, $5, $10, etc. together. Then for each stack of denominations, I use the “Face” function followed by “Orientation” or vice versa. I was able to get five denominations sorted and oriented within a matter of a minute or so. - The machine errs on the side of caution with false negatives. Very occasionally a real bill will slip through into the reject pocket. This is a great feature because it is much safer to have false negatives than false positives, where fake bills are deemed real by the machine. Simply run the reject pocket stack through the hopper up top to ensure that every real bill is accounted for. - Smart design. The machine has a proximity sensor on the top hopper to know when a stack of bills are loaded, a sensor in the reject pocket, and a sensor on the bottom for counted and legitimate bills. What’s awesome is that if I have two stacks of bills I place on the hopper separately, the total value of the first stack is added onto the second stack for as long as the first stack is not removed from the bottom. If the first stack is removed, the sensor detects it and resets the counter/value to zero. The machine also will tell you the reason for each bill’s rejection, such as no magnetic ink in the case of my fake bills. - Built-in printer. If you want to see how many bills of each denomination you have, you can either see it on the screen or print it out or safekeeping. **CONS** - If you increase the speed, the accuracy of the number of counted bills, value of the stack, and detection of fakes deteriorates. The machine has three speeds. By default, it is set to the lowest speed, which is still plenty fast to sift through a stack of 200 bills. I found that it is best to leave the machine at the default slowest speed for maximum accuracy. - The display UI works, although it’s not the prettiest in the world. Sometimes error messages will overlay on top of each other, but I have not found these things to hinder my ability to use this machine or cause performance issues. - Price. Some may be deterred by the price, but honestly I think it’s worth it if you can bite the bullet. To not have to constantly stop from each fake detection and to be able to sort, orient, and count the value of stacks of bills with such accuracy saves me a lot of time and hassle. I’m glad that I stretched my budget a bit for this machine. I sorted and counted a stack of 200 fake and real bills about a hundred times in hopes of tricking it, but it never let a single fake slip through. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this machine to another business owner.

When the functions, UV/MG, are on its impossible to count notes. Stops every 2-3 notes. without the function on it works fine and accurately.

Para el precio, es una excelente opción de compra, cuenta los billetes de manera muy precisa, además de que es muy rápida, totalmente la recomiendo, no encontrarán nada mejor por esa o mayor cantidad de dinero.
