I have lived with a hand operated one and am experimenting on how to mechanize it. Your back, arms and various other parts of your body will be eternally grateful. As will any sons and daughters you might have, since I enlisted my son to help a couple of weeks ago. He no longer answers the phone (just kidding). Mine is a very good Maxant two frame, but I would still go with a motor driven one.
