This has blown away many expectations. Split way more wood than if I split with a maul. I did blow a gasket so now only have 1 arm that works. Need to find a way to fix the gasket, which is why I'm on the website now. But cannot seem to find the help I need. Bought it several years ago now. Way past the warranty date. The pic shows the large pile before it was split. I split 90% of it in about 6 hours.

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Sun Joe LJ10M Hydraulic Log Splitter. We’re glad to hear the splitter has exceeded your expectations and helped you split such a large amount of wood efficiently.
We’re sorry to learn about the gasket issue you’re experiencing and understand how frustrating that can be, especially outside of the warranty period. Our customer service team is more than happy to assist and will check what best we can help.
You can reach us at 866-225-9723, every day from 10 AM–6 PM EST. We appreciate your feedback and the time you took to share your results.
Works great! Kids can even use it. It is a slower process than a powered splitter, but it makes up for it in portability and cost. Was easily handling 18-22in rounds of Poplar.
So far have split 12 inch diameter birch, with knots, with impressive results. Working with the 2 speed/ power settings and the return valve becomes very easy. Actually more productive than expected and not a strain on the body. I could quietly split wood late in the evening and early mornings. A small improvement in stabilising the tool would be installing a small removable metal cross-plate at the base below the two handles.
All the positive reviews that I read before buying the SunJoe 10 ton log splitter were spot on. I love it! It is easy to work with and much safer than an Electric or Gas powered splitter as you are 100% in control of the movement of the splitting wedge. I also like the upper body exercise I get, but I not so happy with having to bend down picking up the wood after every cut... but that's the same with most Electric or Gas powered splitters. And this is the perfect product for those 'Preppers' out there when (or if) someday gas and electricity become scarce.
Worked great for the 5 or so years I've owned it. Started leaking oil a couple of years ago. Today I called the customer service line. Terrible, after a long (14 min) wait, could not understand half of what she said. Then she told me they could not help me trouble shoot, and didn't have any parts for it. I should find a local shop to repair it. The website would not look up parts for it. But I see the same LJ10M splitter is still being sold!!!! Very disappointed in SunJoe.
There is very poor support from sun jo for fixing this splitter
