Pros: very pleasing color, compact and quiet. not too heavy. loved the wheels with retractable handle. and the front panel. Cons: no oil gauge. this could prevent spills. at least the initial oil provided should not have caused a spill. An index in the user manual would be nice as well.
Mne worked for a couple of months on a boat transport form New York to Florida. It stopped working 3 weeks into the trip. Floods out, won't start and continue running.
