Yes, use manual shuffler gingerly. Handle will break! Where can I get more handles???

It comes with extra handle, means total 2 handles. They will make you run this machine for few years.

Not sure where you can get extra's unless you contact manufacturer. There is extra one under the unit too.

I don't know where to get additional handles. There is an extra one mounted to bottom of shuffler. After reading the many comments about the unit, I got the impression that the handle breakage was occurring when the locking fingers on the handle came loose from the shuffler. So I decided to insert a rubber spacer between the locking fingers to prevent handle from unlatching. The handle can't be removed, but for me that is OK. The whole thing is made of plastic, so it can't stand much rough housing. Hope this helps. Thx. Lee

I have this machine now. I strongly advise against buying one. It's flimsy and the drum never fails to get stuck inside.I'm replacing mine asap.

We use it to shuffle 6 decks for our card game. Works like a champ. Since a person pushes the lever to shuffle card, it ahould be fine with one deck or more.

Yes - it has the shuffler. It is a good set for the money. Hope this helps!

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

In am not sure about the automatic shuffler.With these cards we found the best way is to shuffle by the sides of the cards when shuffling that way it works just as good as shuffling the traditional way.love the size of these cards works great for my grandmother this is my second set of these size cards...

No. It is form factored to the current square shuffle. But definitely worth the extra cost for a new shuffle.

We love this shuffler. We play Hand & Foot using 6 decks. It handily does the job. We have changed batteriesonce and find this adds a lot of ease and fun to our game. It shuffles far better than we can do by hand...highly recommend.

Yes, there is an option to run in a random shuffle mode. I use it exclusively since I use this while running.

We love this shuffler. Haven't tried other cards but if they are the same size as regular playing cards then I would think there would be no problem.

Underneath the shuffler there is a crank that easily is picked out. It inserts into the side where there is a hole, but would not stay in place. It was possible to hold it in and then turn the crank to do the shuffling but it was difficult. However my box contained two additional cranks which snapped into place and work well. If you don't have the extra cranks, return it and get a new box which probably will have the extras and use only them as they snap into the hole and it is easy to use.

The shuffler comes with two of the plastic cranks (turners) one is located at the bottom of the shuffler, the other is in a polybag inside the box. Split a deck of cards onto the top of the shuffler, then put a crank into the front of the shuffler as pictured. Turn the crank clockwise and the cards should shuffle into the center of the shuffler. Hope that helps.

Don't use that option much but..I believe you need to find the category marked "settings" and there should be a sub-category marked "shuffle"-HTH.

My handle also broke. I found a replacement broom handle at home depot that fit the threads in the broom head. it seems they're pretty standard. I brought the broom head to make sure the handle fit!

From what I have just read, Canasta cards are just slightly narrower than regular cards so I don't see why they couldn't be shuffled in the the Casino 6 Deck Shuffler. Should be fine!

We shuffle 4 decks all the time when we play pegs and jokers. Found that it doesn't jam or hang up if you pulse it instead of a steady shuffling.

Sorry, I used an old handle I had for several years from another broom. You may want to check at a hardware store in your area.
