For the money I paid, you can't beat it. Yes there are problems with the upper arm handles coming lose. but that can be fixed. The machine takes up very little space. I didn't think I would like it being all manual, but now I like it better than automatic.

Works well. I did a lot of research on different HDMI cables and brands before I purchased this one. Seems to me there isn't much of a performance difference - if any - between cables like these from Amazon Basics compared to the rather expensive ones. Ideally, the main thing you'd want to be sure of is you get a High-Speed HDMI cable, which is exactly what this is. And of-course, one that is constructed properly.
