came home last night to find my vp215 had arrived and was on the back porch. Holy crap the box is heavy, dragged it inside and opened it up, wrestled it on to the table and read the manual. Filled it with oil, it comes with 500ml, (should be good for 4 to 5 oil changes), and fired it up with some cheese in a bag. Super quiet operation I wasn't expecting that and sealed it up good. Then I just had to do bag of water, set it in there bagged it up like it was nothing, sealed and no leaking pretty cool.
I own a cabinet shop with tons of tools and this would stand up to the best of them as far a build quality and ease of use, glad I went with the oil pump for its extra strength and I like to maintain stuff anyway, takes like 10 minutes to change oil. The plex top on the thing is 5/8 thick, and the stainless is pretty heavy gauge too, (John would know).
I'm gonna have to try and hold back on sealing everything in sight now, lol.
