It arrived a few days ago, and I excitedly set about assembling it. ^_^
You know that saying, about how, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is? Yeah.
The Stamina Magnetic Fusion 7100 is a piece of shit. A piece of poorly constructed shit that I could have gotten from Walmart for $100 less.
