    My feedback on product:


    Ordering process: good, email address, make account, paid with CC.

    Shipping, order processing: A+ ordered on Monday 11/24/14, received Saturday 11/29/14. Arrived early Mainly because FedEx is running 7 Days a week for the holidays. (Tracking said Monday 12/1/14) Pleasant surprise.

    Heavy beast, be there to help the poor FedEx man. comes in 3 boxes and requires assembly. But shipping could not be free if it was assembled. Weighs in at 320lbs, and would require a forklift.

    Packaging was good. A few cosmetic dings and scratches, but that's to be expected.

    Ease of assembly C+ larger pictures and more detailed instructions would be nice, but not too bad. Bolts for each individual part are zip tied in a bag to the part they belong to, which was very nice. Better than searching for bag "b" that attaches to part "f". (Like you get with particle board furniture for example). Assembly time for me was 1.5 hours, but I'm slow.

    First thing I noticed after assembly was the cord is too short! I will most likely replace the power cord with one at least 3X longer. No big deal, I just have enough extension cords running all over the place already. Edit: after reading the operators Manual it says: "Plug into wall outlet directly or use short 10 gauge extension cord." Too long of an extension cord drops the voltage below 120 volts. Ok so my gripe is make the cord at least long enough to reach a chest high outlet.

    Appearance A+ beautiful looking machine!!!

    Operation: First thing I noticed is it's loud. Part of that could be the fact that it's only 10 degrees in my shop right now. But it fired right up.



    Fed in various sizes of wire, and it stripped like a banshee. Takes a long length of wire and spits it out the other side nicely stripped. Short stuff also. My wire had a few kinks in it, didn't seem to bother the machine at all.

    Overall, very happy with product thus far. Works just like in the video only louder.

    Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is.
