Was a bit worried when I bought it, as I had been quoted over $3000 for similiar machine locally.
Thought it was worth the risk for less than $300 - and free delivery.
It has worked faultlessly since I received it.
It was a bit fiddly to set up as the gap between the heating blocks was too small. It turned into a drama briefly when we found the adjusting screw was nearly stripped, but we got there.
I liked it so much, I then purchased a 2nd one - just in case.
I'm still over $2000 in the black and I have 2 working machines.
