    Customers are mixed about the weight of the outdoor living product. Some mention that it's easy to move around and put where you want it, since it has wheels. However, others say that it is fairly heavy at around 100 lbs, and the wheels make transport over rough ground difficult. It can also be very hard to maneuver on hills and it can be difficult rolling it across grass and dirt.

    Great little machine
    5 Stars
    Great little machine
    This machine is quite the little workhorse and was a tremendous time (and back) saver. I was a bit skeptical but after reading the reviews I figured I'd give it a try. I got it for $250, so the investment wasn't going to break the bank. I'm not disappointed - it did an amazing job. What would have taken me days to process by hand, I was able to do in a little over 1/2 a day by myself including cutting logs down to size (used a wen 4017 electric chainsaw, another incredible workhorse!), splitting, and stacking. Having a helper would have made the job go even faster.Because I don't split wood often (maybe a cord a year), spending the money on a gas splitter which I would have to maintain was not appealing to me. The noise, smelling like gas, maintenance, and storage were all negatives for me with a gas splitter. This is essentially maintenance free, not noisy at all, no gas smell, and you can store it upright in a corner - so hardly any footprint.Did it get stuck on some of the larger logs? Yes, but they were more than 20 inches in diameter, which is more than this machine is supposed to handle. I let them sit out in the sun for a few weeks, and eventually was able to get through them. I have 4 left that I couldn't split. I'm thinking if I let them sit a bit longer it will split them - if not I'll process the old fashioned way.As others have said it is low to the ground which is tough, but I sat on a milk crate and that saved my back. I'm sure I could have put it on a table or up on blocks, but I'm a one person show so that would have been a bit difficult as it is heavy. The need for two handed operation also slows things down a bit, but I understand that is for safety reasons. Some people have posted modifications that will alleviate that, to me it wasn't that big of a deal.I can't say enough good things about this little splitter. For the price, if you're not splitting dozens of cords a year or making a living off of selling cords of wood, it can't be beat. I would describe myself as a firewood hobbyist; I use a wood stove insert in my home to supplement heat in the winter, have an outdoor fireplace, and a solo stove. I anticipate this will be a wonderful addition to my "hobby" and a massive time saver.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Where have you been all my life !!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2019
    Over 45 years of splitting wood with a maul & wedges and various rented or borrowed log splitters, this splitter is about as good as it gets in a small, compact, powerful package. The logs in the photo are well beyond the 'recommended maximum size of 10 inches. It was one of many 15 inch diameter pieces from a very dry and gnarly maple. It split with ease though it took two passes. That's what I learned over the years; let the machine do the work and this is no different. If it stops pushing, release the pressure and hit it again. No sweat on second hit. Real gnarly knots? Flip the log end for end and do it again. Just like the gas powered splitters I used over the years. JUST REMEMBER: READ THE DIRECTIONS 1. Check the hydraulic fluid: Mine came with low hydraulic fluid so a quick trip to Lowes for a gallon, found the filler and topped it off. 2. Open the vent !! It has no push power with the vent closed. 3. Stay away from the front when splitting wood. My last picture shows one of 2 pieces of split maple that popped 8 feet forward of the machine. Before that I was standing next to the machine and got popped on the leg when a piece let go prematurely. (Sh have remember that from days gone by). Make sure you have the right size extension cord. I use a 50 ft Yellow Jacket 10/3, rated 15 amps. A lighter / longer extension cord will not deliver the proper amps and any motor will heat up. DRAWBACKS: Wheels are really too small and make transport over rough ground difficult. And the hydraulic fluid dipstick is a smooth rods; impossible to tell how empty it is. Most dipsticks have a cross-hatch to capture fluid for easy read. And the cord could be a little longer. OVERALL one terrific machine especially given the price. That pile is about 1/3 cord; 45 minute's work. Not sure how long it will last but given a rental is $75 a day, it's a great alternative, and no gas cans.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Save your back and time spent splitting wood.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2020
    The shipping estimate said 2 months but I got the splitter in about 1 week. The box arrived in good condition and was well packaged. It also has a small foot print for storage.

    Like other reviews stated, mine was low on hydraulic oil as well. Just order some when you buy it or pick some up from your local auto parts store.

    It sits low to the ground so you'll be squatting the whole time using it, I would advise setting up saw horses with wood to use as a platform or a sturdy table or work bench.

    It is two hand operation first you push a lever to release the slide, then push the power button to move the slide forward to split the wood. It's a good safety feature but is a bit of a hassle when you have a log that keeps jumping off the track.

    The only assembly required is putting the wheels on and adding hydraulic fluid (its most likely low). This thing is fairly heavy at around 100 lbs.

    Before operation thumb through the manual to familiarize yourself with the machine, have at least a 15 amp rated extension cord, verify hydraulic oil is at proper level, open the hydraulic oil vent screw (not doing so well render the machine useless and potentially damage the seals), place your log on the tray and get to work. When done, unplug it, wipe it down with a rag, close the vent screw, and store upright in a shed or garage out of the rain.

    If you only need to split a cord or two of wood per winter this will suit your needs nicely at a reasonable price.

    I split 12 to 18 inch long and 6 to 12 inch wide logs of oak, birch, and pine. It operated smoothly and did not struggle. Definitely worth it.
