Purchased the electric plate compactor to whack down type 1 sub base for a grid foundation for our new garden shed. It is a compact but powerful unit that worked very well and will be used for our planned new garden paths and a log cabin base, next Spring, with no more hassle trying to hire the kit any more.
Much easier to handle than the petrol versions that I have hired before. It stops instantly when the throttle is released, unlike the overrun that you get with petrol versions. Although it is lighter, that makes it more manoeuverable. Whilst the tailing cable is a small drawback, overall, the plusses outway the minuses. Great value for money. It will pay for itself when compared to several hires.
It's everything I expected. Because it's electric it's quiet, low maintenance and there are no fumes, though the cables sometimes get in the way but you soon work out how to manage that. The handle thumb screws do shake loose over time so you need to occasionally check them for tightness. At 26kg it's light enough for one person to carry which is good when you are working on your own but that does mean you will need more passes that you would with a heavier machine. Very pleased with this compactor.
Good wacker plate for DIY use. Not as heavy as the diesel ones I've hired before, but quieter and no fumes. Other negatives re: design… 1/ Lead not long enough and gets in the way vs. Diesel. 2/ Orange adjustable bolts on the side of handles vibrate loose ( needs a redesign with some sort of locking device?) 3/ There's a lot more vibration coming up the handle than diesel's so Ive ordered a pair of HAV gloves and limited time on the machine to short durations However, overall good for home use.
This is a fantastic little machine for home use. Where it lacks in the raw power of petrol alternatives it is so much quieter (keeping the neighbours happy) and very compact making it easy to store away for the next little project. Just be prepared to take a few extra passes to get the job done.
