The machines had problems like 10 years ago, but I've had zero problems with them in recent years. Used to be a few of them were always broken and bulk items were hard to find, but now I've not run into any problems. They're great for small purchases, but they're too cramped for big purchases so the belts are still needed.
Walmart, at least, has belted self-checkout lanes in addition to the little ones. Sucks that, at least at my local one, they're almost never actually running, and neither are the manned lanes with belts.
