Very impressed with this machine. Definitely this has out did itself I've been using it most evenings trying to get perfect designs out and I must say im getting quite good but I am impressed at the strength. I've had it for a month and I've used it pretty much nearly every day and so far is still as strong as when I first bought it I've been quite vigorous. May the Persian pop made a few bowls I'm on my way so I'm happy that I bought it and I didn't regret it
