They are ok but nothing more. They are a little under powered and heat output not a lot. But for a beginner machine and taking your time to clean you will be ok. Bridgepoint made it and of course they don't anymore. But it was an altered Prochem so some parts readily available. If it is a good price and it should be,then you will be ok.
Lancer has not been made for 7 years. So, be sure the machine has been taken care of and serviced. It was an entry level machine when it was new.
