MARS Bill Acceptor with Recycle?
- Thread starter Roz
- Start date
The mars cashflow is great. Ive got a bunch of them. It is not a recycler though. It is just a bill acceptor. Ive got 3 commanders and have been happy with them but I defiantly like my HTKS better. If you could afford to spend a few extra bucks id go with a HTK instead. If not the commander is defiantly top notch especially for the price.

Besides the larger display what does the HTK do better than the commander?
We are focused on commander since it is the same footprint as our GLs. That said we can remove the block housing if worth the effort.
The display is not really a big deal. The commander is big enough as it is.
The main reasons for me are:
Quarter Hoppers - The HTK has two Hamilton hoppers that have a lot of capacity. The commander has one small plastic hopper. If your on site everyday or every other then its not a big deal I guess but the Hamilton hoppers are more bulletproof.
Bill Recyclers - The HTK can be ordered with recyclers where the commander can not.
Receipt Printer - The commander printer is not that great. Drops the paper out the back or gets jammed probably once a month vs the HTK is like once a year.
Software - The commander seems to have weird glitches randomly. Does not affect business but will give certain errors on hosted solutions that are not really an issue but an annoying text to get.
I defiantly like my HTK better as the cabinet it self is heavy duty and takes about 3 people to lift it up but I was in the same situation as you and wanted to utilize my goldline footprint plus when you buy 3 at once the price difference has a tremendous savings. It was worth it to me to do the commander and overall ive been very happy with them.
