The ER-1512 is built pleasingly stable and very easy to use. If they can not fall or vandalized, it is hardly to get small well. Also disassembly, cleaning and oiling succeed without problems for a look at the manual. The cutting result itself is simply outstanding, just "professional". And when cutting it not pinches and tweaks not there. It is all clean and precise cut, and not, as with cheap equipment, demolished. The advertised Panasonic cutting technology is obviously the promised effect. A very excellent piece of equipment and to recommend any time!
