After 6 months of daily use, not a single unit has failed."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mei Ling - Pop-Up Café Vendor
"I run a mobile coffee stand at weekend markets, and the Pos Ic Base Model has been perfect. I love that it works without Wi-Fi—no more dropped transactions in crowded areas. The NFC payment processing is fast, and customers appreciate being able to tap and go. At just under 1kg, it’s easy to pack up and move. After 4 months, battery life is still strong."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Park - Transit Ticketing Supervisor
"We trialed the Advanced Model at two busy metro entrances starting January 2025. The 4G connectivity and 32GB SSD handle peak-hour traffic smoothly. Staff found the interface intuitive, especially with multilingual support. One minor issue: the screen can get smudged quickly during rush hour, but cleaning is easy. Overall, a solid upgrade from our old system."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aisha Johnson - Outdoor Market Vendor
"I needed an affordable, reliable POS for my handmade goods kiosk. The Pos Ic Pro Model was worth the investment. With 24-hour battery life, I don’t have to worry about power outlets. It survived rain, dust, and accidental drops—thanks to its rugged build. NFC payments cut transaction time in half. After 5 months, it’s still running like new."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Tomas Reyes - Mobile Barber Service
"I travel to clients’ homes and needed a portable way to accept payments. The Base Model works flawlessly for contactless and chip cards. I was skeptical about the 16GB SSD, but it stores weeks of transaction logs and syncs automatically when I get back to Wi-Fi. Only wish the strap was more ergonomic for carrying. Otherwise, highly satisfied after 3 months of use."Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
