    These things work great until you drop them on the ground once… then a million different reconnection issues. Always make sure you have an extra on hand, or I promise sh%# will hit the fan.

    Our previous square has given up after 7yrs and had to purchase a new one a.s.a.p. Drove to a nearby Best Buy for a new Contactless Square Reader and it was simple to set up.
