Pros
  • A stand lifts the log cradle 34 in off the floor, so you split without bending over
  • Plugs into a household outlet, so it works in a garage with no fumes
  • The ram returns on its own when you let go of the controls
  • Two-year warranty from a brand with a nationwide service network
Cons
  • Takes logs only up to 10 in across, so big rounds need a maul first
  • A 20 second cycle is slow for more than a cord or two a season
  • Sold only through WEN and its retailers, not on Amazon
