Ingenico iWL250 Reviews ( 3)
Loses connectivity constantly, takes a long time to get it back and is slow to process. It is a huge hassle and has cost me lots of money, time, and embarrassment. I thought the first machine was defective, nope they just suck for mobile payments. Should have stuck with Square as it just works and is fast.
This machine rarely works. We are an onsite auction company & most of the time we end up having to call in credit cards which takes up the time of at least one employee, we have to purchase charge slips & use a knuckle buster. When I get back to the office in the evenings I have to spend 1 1/2 - 2 hours forcing the charges through. And for the frosting on the cake, we get charged extra for all of this. I won't even go into the frustration of our buyers having to wait. We feel like we are in the dark ages.
Water resistant and rugged, the machine is designed to take a bit of a beating in tough environments like outdoor sales and while on the road.
