Not really worth it
Rating: 1
When i unboxed it and sat it down I noticed that when you raise it up It wouldnt gom back down , so it would cut some thing . You would have to add weight to the top to get it to cut something. But that did'nt matter because when I plugged it in it would not work .the magnetic switch was working the motor just would not move . not even a humm out of it . I'm done playing with it , It's going back . And when the ship it some one has to sign for it , so you have to wait around all day for it to h be delivered .
