I bought the square reader machine last year for around $50, in Feb 2023. After almost one year and a half, the machine does not charge and I have to keep it connected to electricity all the time. This will cost me more than its price, and if I buy it again, I will have to pay $65. It looks like I have to purchase it again, but not happy that the machine stops working properly in less than two years. ----- ### "Square Point Of Sale for my small business" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *12 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I run a remodeling business and have used Square for all my payment processing.
