Easy to assemble. Great hobby. The instruction manual is very friendly.

The latches are strong and the materials used are good. All stainless steel great *. I use a pump out of a cooler with ice water and let the discharge feed back into cooler works good. I found no trace of lead, the fittings are vapor tight.

Print is so small i had to use a magnifying glass to read it. Lacks any resemblance of a quality product. The description is deceptive.

Condenser was squished. Then the condenser pot is way too small. Piping to condenser slips off constantly and water gets everywhere.

Main issue is the water flow cannot be regulated and does not have valves for the intake and outtake of water from the worm pot. One of the stainless * on the main pot detached after one use.
