    Connects to either a phone or an Ipad if needed, tap to work is great an chip works every time. Sometimes wish it had a swipe, but that is what the other models provide.

    BestBuy completely swapped out the bad one—thank goodness for their warranty program. Even though the replacement warranty cost more than the original unit, it was fully covered. :) -Feel like saving money? almost there...

    I need the 2nd generation reader for square for my business. I initially went in looking for it could not find it. There was no sales associate in the department. I was about to walk out but the cashier on the front knew right it at and saved the sale,. She should be given a free lunch for her service. The reader works very good and very happy.

    Great reader but couldn't set up 2 accounts. Also was locked out due to a big transaction. Emailed and explained the situation. No customer service. Loved the product but no support. I even bought a second one to set up 2 accounts. Lost $. Moved on to another entity.
