Need opinions please. How much "stuff" should be with this to make it cost effective? Also, she says OBO so maybe I could get her down some.

It comes apart very easily for cleaning. I didn't get the attachments, but I think the ones from my FW will work. This green is so much fun!

What can you tell me about the Spartan. I am going to look at one tomorrow. The lady told me that it was made around the war and it is a 3/4 size machine. She does not have the manuel nor any attatchments. She did say that it is a work horse. The add says the cabinet needs to be refinished. She wants $90 for it. I feel that is way to high, any feed back before I go look at it tomorrow morning? Kathie

Your FW attachments will work perfectly.
I have two of these 185's and LOVE them!
