The only "bad" news is that the large hex wrench (Allyn) was inadvertently not included in the package. I have written back to the company for a warranty replacement of that wrench. We'll see what happens.

Like other reviews stated, mine was low on hydraulic oil as well. Just order some when you buy it or pick some up from your local auto parts store.
It sits low to the ground so you'll be squatting the whole time using it, I would advise setting up saw horses with wood to use as a platform or a sturdy table or work bench.
It is two hand operation first you push a lever to release the slide, then push the power button to move the slide forward to split the wood. It's a good safety feature but is a bit of a hassle when you have a log that keeps jumping off the track.
The only assembly required is putting the wheels on and adding hydraulic fluid (its most likely low). This thing is fairly heavy at around 100 lbs.
Before operation thumb through the manual to familiarize yourself with the machine, have at least a 15 amp rated extension cord, verify hydraulic oil is at proper level, open the hydraulic oil vent screw (not doing so well render the machine useless and potentially damage the seals), place your log on the tray and get to work. When done, unplug it, wipe it down with a rag, close the vent screw, and store upright in a shed or garage out of the rain.
If you only need to split a cord or two of wood per winter this will suit your needs nicely at a reasonable price.
I split 12 to 18 inch long and 6 to 12 inch wide logs of oak, birch, and pine. It operated smoothly and did not struggle. Definitely worth it.

* so far it has handled any log that will fit lengthwise no matter the diameter of the log. Sure, on the large diameter fresh cut ones I may have to spin the log around a couple of times but I have yet to find a log it couldn't split.
* easy to move around and came fully assembled except for the wheels which were put on in minutes.
* reasonable time to split a log
The minuses:
* very, very low to the ground which would have driven me crazy but I put it up on a piece of wood on two saw horses to solve this issue.
* I hate the fact that I have to use two hands to operate it. I know this is done for safety issues but I still find it incredibly annoying.
