It has performed as advertised. Negative is that it won't handle bigger than a 18" log. That's basically the minimum width of a wood rack. So, there's not much overlap for stacking your wood.
I was skeptical, but it seems to work well. I got a load of split wood that was not split small enough for my fireplace. Tried using and axe. Really didn't want one of us getting hurt. Works well so far. But if the grain is not straight or if there are big knots, it might not do the trick.
I LOVE my SunJoe logsplitter. I am 69 yrs old, female. I had a bunch of tree logs that were too big for my fireplace. I decided to invest my money in my own logsplitter rather than pay someone to split it for me. Also, I couldn’t find anyone who could do that for me. So, I bought this amazing ligsplitter. It is easy to use, no set up necessary. I can split my logs easily now, whenever I want. I love it. Easy to store also. I highly recommend it, especially for women who want to be self-sufficient! I have 1 suggestion, however. The hole where you pour in the hydraulic fluid was painted green, indistinguishable from the body of the ram. I finally figured out how to open the plug, but I still haven’t poured in the fluid yet. I hope that will be easy once I try. But, if you need a logsplitter, get this one. No gas, no electricity, just a little effort - and tada! Split logs!

Well built product, simple and easy to use. Have split hardwood very easily. not as much of a workout as I expected!
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He is 66 and loves to split wood as a pastime in the winter. I warned him about cutting length max 18" and rounded ends that cause so he would be forewarned as he hates reading instructions. Works great! He is very happy with the way it works and is safer then using the axe as the seasoned oak is hard to split. He is very pleased with it. I have split some would with it as well and I'm 69 wood split easily.
