Is the machine difficult to manage? Does it take much force to control?

It's as easy as a random orbital. If you're new, I highly recommend it. It's not a rotary, which operates on a different principle. Keep that in mind.

Yes and no. By all rights, it should be very easy, however, If you do a parts inventory, then the directions show you are missing some parts. I went to Home Depot for rubber washers. The pictures in the assembly directions are too small and the instructions are semi-clear. If you have any experience in assembling machines then it should take about 30 minutes. When I called about the "missing parts" to the company I received no response. The machine runs fine, but the programming directions are very unclear and written by someone to whom English is a second or third language.

It's not hard to do. It's requires a slight adjustment on the back of the unit which can be done with a pole or end of a broom. When filled with water this unit is very heavy and hard to move.

The machine its good. I use it all day and work just fine. It is able to do hard work if you know how to properly use it

I am also mechanically challenged and didn't think it was that difficult. It more or less comes put together.

The rollers a fine. Given the weight of the machine its tough on carpet. But with hard floors (tile or wood) we were able to move the machine around the room with ease.

I Have Sewn On And Off Since I Was A Kid, And Sold My Old Machine When I Moved. I Bought This To Make Simple Repairs As Well As Pillow Covers, Etc. IT Is A Fine Machine For Learning Control, it Does Not Have A Lot Of Power. As Long As You Are Not In A Rush You Will Be Fine.

It is not very hard. You just fiddle with it and eventually it locks into place. It will take you an extra 20 seconds to figure it out, which is well worth the cash savings on the purchase! Don't worry about it, you won't have any issues.

As with any machine, it kind of depends what you put into it. The handle is on a wire, so you need to be attentive to pulling straight back rather than being off-center. I think it's a good machine.

It is not difficult at all. Very easy. Lotta 'turning' involved because of the screw type lift assembly; but does turn very easy. Would not be worth it to invest the extra money in a hydraulic system, in my opinion.

I haven't a clue. I'm new at this, and think the machine is rather complicated.

I have not manually tried to do any adjustments. Each programmed setting has more pressure or more force you have to exert

See other answers..Can move all the way right and left. I love the machine.

Yes, moderate difficulty. I wanted that unit because of it's ability to turn the furnace on at night, then the AC on during the day. It woks fine.

Not at all difficult. I no longer have the cleaner so I can't give you many details as I don't recall from doing it. Nevertheless, it was quite easy and did resolve the issue.

You have to push down hard and turn as the same time. It took me a while because I was afraid I would break it. It gets easier the more it is used.

It is not hard to manage the cord. It reminds be of using an upright vacuum cleaner, and not any heavier!
