An unboxing and first look, with a standard Bicycle deck run on camera. What stood out to him was how quiet it runs.

“The Lotus is a card-shuffling robot. It bridges the gap between super-cheap card shufflers that don't really work and casino-grade ones that cost thousands of dollars. This one is under $100, and it looks great.”

Bench test
The Tabletop Family
“It's the most beautiful shuffler on this list and it's not close.” Best overall, 24 of 25, across the 8 distinct models they bench-tested from 13 shufflers. Lotus supplied the review units; the field, the method and the scores were theirs.

The bench
Thirteen shufflers on one table.

Best overall, 24 of 25.
“It's the most beautiful shuffler on this list and it's not close.” The one point lost was speed. Their words: the soft wheels are gentler on cards. Lotus supplied its review units; the field, the method and the scores were theirs.
