Only giving this 4 stars due to the delivery issue and box damage. Vevor was fast to make the issue right. the product is great and just as advertised. I would highly recommend this item.

Compactor works like a charme.... now! I received it upside down. Protective oil filed the air filter. Took me two hours to troulbleshoot. I cleaned the air filter but it was so soaked that i had to replace it. Works like a charme now! Great machine for the price, but poor handling. I was left with myself to figure it out. Sinceraĺy.

Receiver
Of no fault of yours I did not receive the first plate compactor that I ordered. Fedex had a huge issue as far as delivery, communication was poor with not only customer support but also with the delivery driver in that he did not speak English. That order was returned to your warehouse with an explanation that the unit was damaged. I questioned that. Anyway I was reimbursed and I reordered. I received the second order as it was executed in due time and the machine works well so hope to use this to complete the retaining walls project that it was purchased for.

Good Product + Customer Service, Poor Shipping, manual
Well, the bad: no real container, just wrapped in Saran wrap, oil in wrapping, terrible manual with wrong instructions regarding the vibrator. The good: responsive cust serv that negotiated a fair resolution. After much searching online, Home Depot sells this same unit with a 7hp motor, but the same vibrator, plate under 'Stark'. I could see a label saying the vibrator oil level where my manual stated to fill to fill hole. I got oil everywhere. There is a weep hole on the shaft near the pully (I know this now). I shut the unit off, saw the weeping hole, put it to the bottom + let it drain to that level, 30% full maybe. Minimal leaking after that to a non spraying level. I have about 5 hours on thus unit mow. Starts 1 pull, climbs gravel slope well, good packing depth, well made, great price. All in all, I'd buy again

Unlike other products I have received from VEVOR, it arrived intact and was easy to set up. It does what I needed it to do.

Mr
Finally arrived after the first machine got lost during shipping! Contacted customer service who were extremely helpful. Refunded the money so that I could purchase another one. This arrived quicker than expected. However the machine is very heavy and defiantly a two man lift. The delivery guy bounced it off the back of his van He could have asked for help. The takeaway from my experiance VEVOR need to ensure the right delivery company are engaged to handle such equipment. Luckily the machine was not damaged . The box was clearly marked fragile no inversion.

Ok this unit is a nice unit, runs good does a nice job, the only thing is the wheels they are starting to have a few nicks in them, hopefully they can be replaced easily, time will tell.

All looked good and I’ve used it now for about 10 hours,
My only criticism is a couple of the welds were off and crooked.
Didn’t affect the operation of the machine…however it got you 4 stars instead of 5

Well it work very well and easy to use. But sometimes it just turn off in the middle of what you are doing. What i like about it is you can slow it down. But like I said it just turn off is the down fall. All gas and oil is filled up and cleaned off after using it. Also what I like about it is not heavy at all and I can pick it up and load by myself.
