Works well. Seems solid. Some minor issues - see review.
The machine seems solid. Works very well and is easy to work with. The value for money is there as it costs only a third or a quarter of what comparable known brands machines costs.
However, there are some, relatively small issues.
1.
The paper user instruction leaflet is totally unreadable. This is most likely a computer translation from Chinese and it makes no sense at all for an English speaker. Even the diagrams are unusable, as they printed all black. I worked around it by watching youtube videos of other users who shared their experiences with the machine.
2.
Nowhere it is said that you need to fill in the pump with vacuum oil before use and how to do it. Again, I learned about it from youtube. The machine came with a bottle of oil, but I thought that this is a spare. The pump had some oil in it, but well below minimum. You need to top it up to the required level.
3.
My machine had misaligned silicone rubber seal in the top organic glass cover. This misalignment was clearly visible through the glass and very easy to correct by pushing the seal in place with a wooden spatula.
4.
I have no idea if any spare parts for the machine would be obtainable at all if needed, but considering the price, I think that it is worth the risk, especially if you are not going to use it very heavily.
So far, so good.
Simple. Full flexibility in wiring. NO contacts separate for each pedal.
The cable from the foot switch has 4 wires. Each of the two microswitches has 2 separate wires. That gives you full flexibility of wiring to your equipment. The microswitches contacts are NO (normally open) and close on pedal press.
