What owners likeWas cheap ($359)Reliable (4 heavy workoutsseveral drownings and still working)appears very solid and well-made for priceappears to be very well-sealed against water/dust
Watch out forQuite difficult to get into to service internals (short of stripping entire unit)clutch is extremely difficult to engage/disengage (however this is an early Series... Later ones have a newer gearbox and improved clutch)
