I know its been said here before, Fisher really has their act together re repairs, maintenance etc. I use my machine practically daily maybe 8 or 9 months of the year here in upstate NY. In all kinds of extremes and environs. I have worn some parts quite a bit, requiring attention. Dealing with them recently for services was efficient, pleasant, and expedient. Other companies of all types should take some lessons from them! Good Hunts, CO
