Ideal for small projects and inexpensive compared to renting. I laid almost 200 square meters with it. Oak parquet feet 3/4 thick. Ready to use right out of the box and effortlessly clears two paper jams. Would have gotten 5 stars but couldn't use it straight away as the swivel connector was broken and could be connected to whatever hose I had (3 btw). However, no problems after reconnecting the defective plug.
