Automatic card shufflers

Wondering if anyone here knows how automatic card shufflers work, and we're talking about one your or I may by, not the shufflemaster systems they use in casinos. I am wondering because I have never seen one in person, do they really produce truly random shuffles? Just from the pictures on the web it looks like in one pass they don't i.e. a card in position n in the original deck can only move m place away in the final deck where m < n-1.

That's why you break the deck and reshuffle it a few times.

Was hoping you woldn't, the whole point of buying one is to try to get to the speed of online games . . . and tossing it in the machine pretty much takes as long as doing a riffle.
 
I think there was some mathematical model where they started doing probability distributions of where the 'aces' went after shuffling.
 
My buddy has one of those $20 shufflers............ does not shuffle evenly. one side is faster then the other.
