EXACTLY
It's not an engineered machine - an engineered machine would have paid attention to the galvanic table just for starters - it's a mass produced garage build IMO - with nice distractions such as demon eyes, cool names, and shiny paint. Pretty sure that's how a lot of fishing lures come to be ~
Added to Jim's list is the soon to form and fly off corrosion flakes on the inside of the galvy pipes behind the WT filters that will be sucked into the blower. Typically, you don't want rusted metal flakes in the big gray thing that makes the air move.
These machines are all the rage on the "other" forum - I chimed in once as Jim did once when someone was calling anyone who spent 18k+ on a TM a moron, listed the shortcomings I saw, I posted almost the exact same list as Jim - and got a good reaming from the cult, the responses were - they do the same thing, and theirs was cheaper than mine. . . . . . tried to help the uninformed/inexperienced situation - but found I was dealing with the unfixable combination - stupid/stubborn, and shut my yap.
They'll find out in 1000, 1500, 2000 hrs, what the extra $ for a TM not built solely around price would have gotten them - or maybe not and think it's cheaper to spend 14k every 2-3 years than 25k every 10.
