Review on Krinner Genie Deluxe Christmas Stand by Jesse Nell

Overall this is a great tree stand. I've tried several over the years and this is by far the easiest and safest I've ever used. I currently have a tree that is 11 1/2 feet tall with a trunk about 5 1/2 inches in diameter. I think the only way to make it stronger is if it has roots. A few things to keep in mind: 1. The last 1 or 2 pedal strokes will require a lot of downward force to properly engage, i.e. to "ring". 2. I deducted a star because the water meter was not working properly. It would be a great and useful feature if it worked, but it doesn't float properly and seems to get stuck in its cylinder. In view of that, it doesn't work. "Doesn't show water level accurately. I'm just saying if you're going to add something that could be a very useful feature, make sure it works. Regardless, I recommend this stand. The best thing is that I have ever used.
