    So you think it is a good buy then?


    What could go wrong?

    Sorry, my sarcasm didn't come over well in print.

    Everything could go wrong, it might not arrive, it might be a piece of junk, it might be faulty, it might not even exist. Who are you going to turn to in any of these situations?
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    Would advise against entering any information on a site like that.

    It is being sold to the UK so I presume it has an adapter with it

    You only need to look at Amazon and ebay to prove the fallacy of that assumption.

    I wouldn't buy it just to give these girls a rest.

    Don't you think the site looks a bit "dodgy"...?!

    Aside from that, there is no contact address and an American phone number. So... you've no idea who you're dealing with, or even what country they're in.

    There is an address at the foot of the T&Cs for a completely different company specialising in SEO... :-/

    And the whois records shows that the domain was registered only a few months ago with a Beijing company, and is using the name servers of a Chinese ISP.

    Good luck :-)

    The reviews are best Chinglish - google translate hasn't quite got it cracked yet.
    I quote (2 say this, so it must be true):
    I tried to sharpen the knives, i need to apply. The rest has not yet been exchangeable. For household needs i think in full will go.

    But if bought using PayPal if it did'nt arrive I would have guarantees of refund etc.
  • I think you could do a lot better. For example if you were dead set on this model then I bet you can find it new from China on eBay for not much more, but with that buyer protection. Plus the wheel is tiny - 50 ish mm in diameter, far too small IMHO

    Why am I in this handcart and where are we going ?
