The neighbor is a service field rep for a large equipment rental company. He brought one of these home for the weekend. He told me to stop over and try it out. I figured he wound up not using it as I did not hear it and then on Sunday I was in the front yard and heard a quiet engine. He was putting it away he ran it Saturday behind his house...I never heard it.
Anyway, I tried it out in the driveway and never having operated a mini ex before it was pretty slick. I could not believe how quiet the machine was when running. Very nice features including a track narrowing feature for tight spaces. I see new ones listed for around 22k-24k. Probably old news for all you veterans, but I was impressed with the build quality. He told me they are using many machines from this manufacturer and they have been very reliable.
Anyway, thought I would post a link.
