" ... They tell you what each button does, but they do not tell exactly what to do to make them work. ... Also, I taped a chart on the wall in back of the machine labeling the position of each button and what the label is as the writing on them is so small that a magnifying glass is necessary. ... All those eight buttons? ... … and to get it to work at all, you have to press down so hard on the cover that sooner or later something is going to break … and you had better have good lighting and a strong magnifying glass. ... The labels on those eight buttons, which do not work, on my machine are written in English, but they are so small that it wouldn’t have made any difference if they had been written in Sanskrit or hieroglyphics. ... "

" ... pressing the little tiny release buttons is evidence of a poor design. ... I was embarrassed to find out she could not operate it. ... when I contacted the company their reply was "Sorry for your inconvenience (ya right) Press down harder." ... "
