Title: nice outside, cheap, poor quality inside
Product review: I rec'd one of these as a gift. The motor ran for maybe 10 minutes, then went dead. I replaced batteries, to no avail. In this case the giver lost the receipt so had the choice of tossing it or trying to fix it. I opened it up to see if it could be fixed. I was appalled at the poor quality electronics inside. A cold solder connection was the culprit in this case, but the wires soldered were barely touching, then globs of glue were slathered over the wires and components to cover this up and attempt to hold it together. Also, the unit runs only on 2 C batteries, no AC adpator. You are better off getting a hand-cranked manual sorter, or spending a bit more for something better. Avoid this product and this company. Note they sell this same thing at Brookstone for $50, what a rip-off. Beautiful wood finish does not a premium item make.
