I bought my Klippermate stringing machine last week and strung two rackets first time as a badminton player yesterday and I don't have any regrets. Before buying I debated back and forth hearing and reading different comments and reviews. I have to admit that I did not want to spend tons of money for a string machine and was also tired of the trouble finding someone to provide the service at a reasonable cost. I now can restring my racket anytime to any force I want. The only caveat for those reading my review is that I do not have any experience using sophisticated string machines so my experience is limited. But in terms of the machine I bought I love it as a badminton club player.
