Received my unit in very good condition, Went together very easily and started running without any long , hard cranking Only down side (for my use) is that the handle can be only on one specific end of the machine. If the handle was on the other end it would have been a total homerun . Now i need to wait for a power outage so it can prove to me i was right to say it looks promising . I would recomend this unit to friends and family.
