Customers are saying

Customers commend the Reader for Magstripe's ease of use, affordability, and compatibility with various devices. Positive feedback also highlights its compact size and straightforward setup process. While some users mention higher than expected fees, the device's performance is generally well-received. A notable limitation is the lack of a chip reader in some models.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    I really love the concept and ease of use, however I would certainly rather have a wireless version. No doubt it does what it says, and the price per transaction isn't terribly bad, but certainly noticeable. I would definitely recommend!

    Saved me more than once by getting my money up front, rather than waiting to call in credit card info and possibly get bad or bogus info from customer.
