I read the reviews on this miricle carver and they caused me to think twice. I thought if it doesn't work I can return it, so, I bought it and brought it home. Like all new items, the first thing I do is test/play with it. It was a little difficult to set up, had computer glitches that I needed to make adjustements for (I am fairly handy with computers). For my test I decided on the lion. The carver went to work and it displayed aprox time 40min. I sat and waited 5-10min and went to check its progress and it was meeting my expectaions. I returned to my chair and a few minutes later the awfulest sound came from the machine and it was getting louder. I hurried back to the carver and it began to smoke. I looked in and the carver head was wabbeling terribly. I pulled the plug on it. Time lapsed 10-15 minutes from beginning the 1st and only project to meltdown. The problem with it is, it has a flexable driveline like a dremmel extension. Where that meets with the carver head heated up so much it softened causing things to bend. Noise is same as a plainer or router and not an issue. My Sears store gave me no trouble with returning it although I did have trouble with Sears getting it credited back to my creditcard. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS!!!!!!!!! THE RECEIPT WHEN YOU BUY IT AND WHEN YOU RETURN IT.
