Quick take
Whether you are setting up a cash handling mailroom station, a small retail counter, or a restaurant front desk, the main decision is whether you need a standalone cash drawer or a complete register with a printer. The four options here are listed from $36.69 to $99.97, so the real differences are how many bill and coin trays you want, how the drawer opens, and whether you also need a receipt printer and register keypad.
Listed price comparison
| Option | Listed price | Price bar |
|---|---|---|
| Toast POS TC200/TC200W Cash Drawer | USD 65.00 | |
| Uimoso 13-inch Cash Drawer | USD 36.69 | |
| Uimoso 16-inch Cash Drawer | USD 45.59 | |
| Royal Alpha 601SC Cash Register | USD 99.97 |
At a glance, the Toast drawer sits in the middle of the price range, the two Uimoso drawers are at the lower end, and the Royal Alpha is the highest-priced option because it bundles a printer and register into one unit.
Decision matrix
- Choose the Toast POS TC200/TC200W if you want a lockable metal drawer with a removable coin compartment and a media slot, aimed at restaurant, bar, and retail counters.
- Choose the Uimoso 13-inch if you want the lowest listed price in this set and a compact square drawer.
- Choose the Uimoso 16-inch if you need more coin and bill trays than the 13-inch model and still want a standalone drawer with printer, key, and emergency opening.
- Choose the Royal Alpha 601SC if you want a complete register with keys, a thermal printer, a working cash drawer, and an adjustable tray.
Product notes
Toast POS TC200/TC200W Cash Drawer
The Toast POS TC200/TC200W is a lockable metal drawer with a removable coin compartment and a media slot, and it is positioned for restaurant, bar, and retail use. The key accessory and lock give you a manual way to open the drawer, and the drawer-only form keeps things simple if you already have a register or printer. It is listed as New - Open box, so you may receive an opened package even though the drawer is described as new. The trade-off is that you are not getting a printer, keypad, or full register in this option.
Uimoso 13-inch Cash Drawer
The Uimoso 13-inch drawer has a compact square footprint and is made from SPCC steel with sturdy ABS trays. Inside you get 4 removable bill trays, 5 coin trays, and a cheque slot, which gives you separate places for bills, coins, and slips you do not want to fold. The RJ11/RJ12 port lets a receipt printer open the drawer, and the key lock and emergency lever add two more ways in. The limitation is the smaller footprint: you get fewer bill and coin slots than on a wider drawer, so it fits best when your daily cash volume is light.
Uimoso 16-inch Cash Drawer
The Uimoso 16-inch drawer is the larger of the two Uimoso models, with 5 removable bill trays, 8 coin trays, and a cheque slot. SPCC steel panels and ABS compartments give it a sturdy build, and it opens through a receipt printer, key lock, or emergency lever. The bigger interior is useful if you handle multiple coin denominations or several currencies. It carries model number ECD-4102, which helps distinguish it from the smaller Uimoso drawer. The trade-off is the 16.1 x 16.5 x 4-inch footprint, so it asks for more counter or under-counter space than the 13-inch version.
Royal Alpha 601SC Cash Register
The Royal Alpha 601SC is a used all-in-one register rather than a standalone drawer. It includes keys, a thermal printer, a cash drawer, and an adjustable tray, and the unit is described as tested working. The main display, printer, drawer, and buttons are all described as functioning, and operator and manager keys are included so the drawer and register can be locked. The clear limitation is the customer-facing display, which is listed as not working; this is the part customers would normally see on their side of the counter. If you want a wired register with a printer built in, this is the only option in the group that combines a register, printer, and cash drawer into one product.
Final recommendation by use case
- For a restaurant or bar counter that needs a lockable standalone drawer with a media slot, the Toast POS TC200/TC200W is the direct pick.
- For the lowest listed price and a compact footprint, the Uimoso 13-inch drawer covers the basics without taking up much space.
- For heavier coin and bill handling in a standalone drawer, the Uimoso 16-inch adds capacity.
- For an all-in-one register with printer, keys, and cash drawer, the Royal Alpha 601SC is the bundled choice.
If your POS setup already has a receipt printer, a standalone drawer is the simpler match. If you are starting from scratch and want one unit that prints receipts and holds cash, the Royal Alpha bundles both.
