Overall I would give this a 8 out of 10 rating and very good for what it is. Cost increases to comparable systems is due to the the large work height (150mm) and 2200W spindle power. I opted for the true 220V version and not use a voltage converter as that creates its own problems + the added cost. 220V is not simply 115v x 2 but true 220V duel phase power, as used on a NA electric stoves or dryers...(just for those that don;t know ;) Good machine - came in 2 wooden boxs: Box 1 was base assembly, and box 2 was gantry and steppers, hardware: It took about 4-6 hrs to put it together and configure it for Mach 3. Needed to add a few extras like a cooling tank for the spindle but it came with the pump. Runs well and appears to be accurate. Came with a shallow wet table and that was a nice feature for mist milling - cutting coolant is contained and will empty through a hose to a reservoir, but make sure you add a 20micron home water filter to the pick up line to keep the coolant clean... At the time of this writing: Negative comment may be a limitation of the 3rd party hardware - is that the spindle speed to be calibrated in Mach 3 may cause the VFD to loose control and it will just speed up to full RPM. Changing the index in the spindle settings will get control of the RPM back. There was no information on the VFD control but through a little research it is the E100 and directions were found online - just in case you wanted to run the spindle in manual mode RPM. I did have a broken wire in the position sensor plug but it was a easy fix. Good HP to do light cuts in aluminum work and soft steel milling - but run it at slow feed rates! The large working height (150mm) is good to machine a lot of tall items like cutouts in electrical panels...etc.Read full review

The machine came in two plywood boxes. It looks good. Everything that offered on eBay came in parcel. I put 4 stars because the machine still needs to be adjusted. Here are some pics...
