Highlights
Quality
This is a solid machine that works as advertised, does a good job, and should last many years.
Sturdy unit and super easy to setup.
For additional safety, after five minutes of continuous operation, the machine will shut off and cool down for 30 minutes automatically.

If the price is right, this is a good choice.
I would have liked a finer cross cut but get what you pay for
