Hey Kevin, Lets not turn this into typical forum verbal pissing match. You make some pretty broad claims on a public forum about manufacturing defects. What are your actual qualifications in manufacturing and quality Assurance? I know the owners manual pretty well and the warranty does not cover damage due to environmental corrosion. You keep blaming your problems on manufacturing defects when I strongly believe that most of your problems are directly related to how you used and abused the machine. Not a problem, they are pretty tough and can take some hard abuse and are actually cheap to maintain, but don't go on a public forum and say it is the manufactures fault.

You are correct, It is a great concept and there is always room for improvements.
