Review is more than function
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far the unit performs as it expected ask me again in a couple of years. I've not forgotten this was a "bait and switch purchase" advertised as a special open to purchase on a certain date and time, at the time designated it was "sold out" HOWEVER we do have this same one at a higher price. Enough said!
