Volcora 13 in Electronic Cash Register Drawer for POS - Compact

In this review the Volcora 13 in electronic cash register drawer is evaluated for small retail and mobile point of sale setups. The bottom line: this compact 13 in cash drawer is best for shops and market stalls that need a sturdy, space-saving drawer that pairs with a thermal receipt printer to open automatically. Its heaviest selling point is a heavy-duty metal frame and a secure 3-position key lock, giving reliable everyday performance without fuss.

Key Features

• Durable metal frame: The heavy duty metal construction provides a solid, long-lasting drawer that holds up to frequent opening and closing in busy checkout environments.
• Compact footprint: Measuring 13 in x 13.25 in x 4 in, the small size fits tight counters and portable POS setups while still providing organized storage.
• Organized cash tray: The built-in tray has 4 bill slots and 5 coin slots plus a removable coin insert for flexible partitioning and quick cashier access.
• Secure 3-position key lock: The 3-position lock supports manual open, auto open via printer/POS, and a locked position, and the package includes multiple keys for backup.
• Printer connectivity: It connects to receipt printers with an RJ11/RJ12 cable for automatic operation with most thermal or receipt printers from major brands.
• Media compartment: A front media slot stores checks or receipts without opening the drawer, keeping paperwork accessible and separated.

Who It's For

This cash drawer suits small businesses, market vendors, cafes, and craft show sellers who need a compact but durable cash storage solution that integrates with a receipt printer. Its modest depth and built-in compartments make it particularly useful where counter space is limited but a professional, lockable drawer is required.

Shoppers who need USB-only connectivity or a cash drawer with direct POS USB support should look elsewhere, since this model relies on a 24 VDC connection through an RJ11/RJ12 cable and a compatible printer to operate automatically. Larger retailers needing extra-large tills or multi-drawer setups may prefer a wider drawer with more bill slots.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy metal build and compact size offer durability without taking much counter space.

• Includes a 3-position key lock and multiple backup keys for secure daily use.
• Works with most thermal or receipt printers via RJ11/RJ12 for smooth automatic opening.

Cons

• No USB port for direct POS connection, so it cannot be tied to systems that require USB without an intermediary printer.
• Its small footprint limits the number of bills it can hold compared with full-size drawers.
