This is a great product at a reasonable price!
I have now loaded over 15,000 rounds since receiving my DAA Primer-Pro Collator. I have had only one reversed primer which might have been the result of a bad transfer to my Dillon. Have have two of the Dillion primer collators. They are noisy and very difficult to set-up. The Dillon is good at collating large primers but with small primers it is not consistent enough for my needs.
Here are the negatives, none of which I found to be a serious problem:
1) The angle of the hopper requires you to be diligent when loading to avoid spillage. Some type of a funnel would be nice.
2) The angle of the collating tube requires you to locate at the edge of a bench.
3) The last one or two primers generally do not drop into the collating tube.
All three of these negatives are the result of design compromises which, considering the accuracy of the device and its low costs, I probably would made the same concessions.
Finally, all collating tubes are not the same. I found that many of my Dillon tubes did not work with the same consistency. That's on Dillion NOT DAA

I bought one of these when they were first released. It came and I spent 4 hours trying to get it to feed primers. It would not do it. I tried CCI, Tulammo and Winchester. Nothing worked in it and tech support could not tell me how to get it to work. I returned it and they gave me a refund.. Now on 7 - 2020 I decided to try one again. I received it 8-6-2020. Right out of the box if fed CCI primers problem free. So I tried Tulammo which happens to be the "stickiest" primers I have and they still fed through it although really slow. I tried wiping the bowl down with pledge and ran a cotton swab moistened with pledge through the slots the primers slide into and Tulammo primers started feed as well as the CCI primers did. In another video, I saw someone tumble his primers in a box that was sprayed with silicone spray. I am not sure I want to coat my primers with silicone spray as wouldn't that defeat the friction fit in the case a bit? The plastic construction still gives it a fragile feel.

Works 100% out of the box with cci primers. Federal and winchester have varying anvil heights causing feeding issues. Per the instructions included I loosened off the screws and win primers fed 100% federal about 80%. With nothing to actually space the plates apart i cut strips of printer paper and put in screw holes between the 2 plates to keep the assembly ridgid. You can then adjust the spacing by compressing the strips of paper and it holds the spacing. Bought a second one, stuck paper in right out of the box and it runs 100%. A very thin paper-like ring with the bolt spacing could be included with it for minimal money.

The collator works very well. Some tweaking may be necessary on occasion. But it does very well so far for me. Eliminates the most irritating task in bulk loading. Hope they provide large primer capacity soon.

What a disappointment the DAA Primer-Pro Collator is for the price. If you only want to do small primers and chose a non-sticky primer it seems to work. But it will not do large primers and you have to spend a lot of time cleaning and waxing to get it to process Winchester primers. In my opinion, it is way overpriced for its capabilities. (not as fast as UR said in the video)

Excellent product. Feeds CCI like a champ. Federal not so much. I was told (but didn't try) Winchester also doesn't feed so well. Instructions are vague on how to address the problem of the unit not picking up and delivering the primers. Trouble shooting refers to this as the unit is "slow". to fix, you need to loosen the screws holding the plates together. I did, very slightly, and it improved the performance on Federal primers. Great product.
