Reddit mentions of Automatic Card Shuffler 1 or 2 Decks

Unlike pretty much everyone else, I use a card shuffler almost exclusively. I use this one made by Cardinal:

It's basically a necessity for me because I can't shuffle cards and nobody else is careful enough, so I grabbed this on clearance at Target for $5 about 8 years ago. In that time, I have only replaced the batteries once or twice, so it lasts quite a while. I have also never had it damage any cards, which seems to be a common concern. It's not super fast, but it's a heck of a lot faster than me trying to shuffle on my own. And in my experience, it works fine for sleeved cards as long as they're not too long. TMG's Tasty Sleeves work perfectly, but my Ultra Pro sleeves are too long and don't fit.

There are a few downsides that I feel are worth pointing out, however:

1. This thing is loud. A manual shuffler would probably be quieter, but this sounds almost like running a paper shredder. So just keep that in mind.
   
   
2. It doesn't work well with small cards. I can't think of any popular examples off-hand, but anything significantly smaller than a standard playing card is likely to rotate and cause a jam. I've never had any damage from this happening, but it is annoying. Thankfully I don't have too many games with small cards. On a related note: non-slick cards like in Last Day On Earth or Garbage Day may stick together and also cause a jam. This should decrease over time as they get more wear through regular play.
   
   
3. The automatic shuffler essentially does a perfect riffle shuffle, which is not random. You'll want to cut the deck a few times or otherwise mix the cards up a bit between shuffles. It takes longer, but it's worth the effort.
   
   Other than those three issues, I love having my shuffler and I use it for almost every game that has cards. Experiences seem to vary significantly, so I can't say if it will work as well for you, but I'm very pleased.
