When you run a checkout counter, a food truck, or a mailroom cash station, the cash drawer is the piece of gear that gets used dozens of times a day. It needs to open smoothly, keep bills and coins separated, and lock when you step away. A cramped coin layout means you're always hunting for the right slot, and a flimsy body can make the whole register feel cheap. Two 16-inch models are competing for that spot: the Uimoso 16" Cash Drawer for POS Systems with 3 Unlocking Modes and RJ11/RJ12, and the Cash Drawer 16" Cash Register POS System 5 Bill 5 Coin 3 Unlocking Ways. Both are black, key-lock drawers sized to sit under a counter, but they make different choices about where to spend the money.
Quick verdict
If you want to keep costs down and have more places to sort coins, the Uimoso is the simpler call. It costs $45.59, and its coin tray layout gives you more flexibility than the GoldBrush's, with separate compartments for a wider range of coins. If you'd rather have a drawer with a matte finish that resists smudges, the GoldBrush is worth the $69.99 price. Both models share the same 16-inch footprint and three unlocking methods, so the deciding factors come down to coin capacity, material feel, and what you're willing to spend.

Where each product wins
The Uimoso wins on affordability and coin organization. If your day involves a lot of loose change, having extra slots keeps the drawer tidy and speeds up checkout. The GoldBrush wins on build and surface finish. Its matte metal body gives it a more substantial feel, and the finish is designed to resist the smudges and fingerprints that show up on a busy counter.
Product notes
Uimoso 16" Cash Drawer for POS Systems with 3 Unlocking Modes and RJ11/RJ12
The Uimoso is the practical choice for a small shop or restaurant. Its RJ11/RJ12 connection lets you wire it to a receipt printer for automatic opening, and the included key and emergency lever give you manual access when the printer isn't involved. The drawer's 8 coin trays are the biggest in this comparison, and the detachable bill and coin trays make setup easy if you want to rearrange the layout. It uses SPCC steel panels for the outer body and ABS compartments for the inside, which is a solid build for everyday use. The main trade-off is that the interior isn't fully metal, so if you're expecting a drawer that feels heavy and solid, the GoldBrush might have the edge in that department.
Cash Drawer 16" Cash Register POS System 5 Bill 5 Coin 3 Unlocking Ways
The GoldBrush makes a stronger visual impression with its all-metal construction and black matte finish. This is a drawer that looks more like a piece of checkout furniture than a utility box. It uses a key lock and offers the same three unlocking methods as the Uimoso, and it's designed to withstand daily wear and tear. The catch is the coin compartment: at 5 trays, it has fewer slots than the Uimoso's 8-tray setup, so you won't have the same flexibility when sorting mixed coins. If your change needs are simple and you want a durable, smudge-resistant drawer, the GoldBrush is an easy pick. If you handle a wider mix of coins, you'll find yourself wishing for more sorting space.
Final choice by use case
If your checkout sees a lot of coins and you're watching the budget, the Uimoso is the right drawer. It gives you more coin slots for less money and still connects to a printer for automatic opening. If your goal is a sturdy, smudge-resistant metal drawer with a simple coin layout, the GoldBrush is the model to pick. There's no wrong answer here; it's a matter of whether you want to maximize coin organization or put your money into the finish and build.
