I have not owned it long, but it has saved me a lot of effort in the short amount of time I have owned it. It was easy to assemble and for narrow boards up to 18" there was no problem with it. When I did a wider board 26" in width, there was some wandering in the feedbelt, but it was easily corrected. The sanding drum was parallel with the input feed table when I received it so that needed no adjustment. By connecting my shopvac to the sander, there was virtually no dust floating in the room after using it for about an hour.
