Summary: Good for home use, but not for business... too flimsy.
Comment: I purchased my FS-4DA from Sam's Club for the features of auto-advancing the coin tubes.
My frustration came from occasional jamming, difficulty clearing the jams, and case plastic so cheap that the front panel hinges broke within days of first use.
I gave this one to my son who likes to tear apart electronics to see how they work, but I've opted to upgrade to one in the $200-$250 range for my business use.

Summary: Worth every penny
Comment: I bought one of these on a whim at Sam's Club for $89.95. The only problem I've really had so far was figuring out how to get the dollar coins out that were going around and around in it.
The book that came with it had the first 4 pages of English in twice so of course the last 4 pages of Spanish in twice. The middle of the book is missing. I'll bet that's where the solution to the problem is. It wasn't very hard to figure it out though.
I have a Texas Mickey whiskey bottle that gave me a severe headache years ago. That is where my change goes. When I'm in a store I never take any change out of my pocket, even if I only need a nickel. I give them a dollar instead and the change goes in the bottle that night. It's amazing how fast it accumulates. There is about $700.00 in it when it is half full. When it is so heavy I'm afraid the bottom will break out or I need money, I count it and take it to the bank. Before my count was never the same as the banks and it took forever to count all of it. Now the count is the same. I guess a person gets careless after a few hundred dollars of hand counting.
The banks where I am do not accept rolled coins, at least from individuals, they just break them open and throw them in their counting machine so it is pointless to roll them.
I imagine the $1000+ machines are faster but I think this one is well worth the money. One of the rare times a machine got to count what it was paying for (credit card payment).

Summary: A desirable item with conditions
Comment: This is a desirable item that is efficient and easy to use. Special attention is needed to avoid having the loading lid closed while in use or a nasty jam will result. The coin meter is nice but of little value unless you are sorting large volumes of coins. All in all, an improvement over the cheaper model we had.

Summary: Great Machine!
Comment: We purchased this machine to wrap change that we have been saving for almost 10 years! It works GREAT, and rarely gets stuck, as long as you use preformed wrappers. So far we have wrapped $1,000 in about 3 hours. It is well worth puchasing the preformed wrappers. I tried using flat wrappers, but it takes forever. When using flat wrappers, you use the sorter and let the change fall into the tubes, and then you have to try and get them into the wrapper manually from the tube. It sounds easy, but it is not - I spent up to 15 minutes trying to get them into one wrapper. When using preformed wrappers, you slip the wrappers into the tubes and the coins drop directly into the wrappers. All you do is fold the end, taking about 2 seconds. This machine is a great investment if you are willing to purchase preformed wrappers, which are less than $10 for an assortment pack.

Summary: Coin sorter works great!
Comment: I was very impressed by this machine. It is the first one I used that can handle a large number of coins at once. The 4 slots for coins is an unexpected asset. In particular, when you have more of one type of coin, this comes in realy handy. The only down side I found for this machine is in how it handles irregular coins. Only being able to count 1, 5, 10 and 25 cent coins is nice, but it should have a way to eject the dollar or non US coins without unscrewing the top of the machine. Not a big issue and I still highly recommend this product.
