    The engineering on this little beam engine is superb! Must oil all movement points. The shorter the wick, the better. May take 10 minutes or more to boil water (like a bigger steam engine does) and start your run , but worth the wait. If it runs within 5 minutes of lighting, the flame is still to big. Filling 1/2 full with water was a 20 minute run time after up to a boil. Setting the engine on a tissue really quiets the operation. No need to remove piston to oil, just a tiny drop to the side of it, same for valve shaft. Engine upper plate showed up to 150F, but burner base can be handled fine. Clean enough to run on kitchen table. A little beauty and great value. Also, surprising power, enough to ........? Safety never did open. One of my favs.

    Very good aesthetics and functioning. / When opening the box, it looks like a very small thing. / Looking closer, it looks like a work of art for exhibition. / Putting it up and running, it's really a really good steam engine. / In the first test it operated 25 min with 10 cm3 of 96% ethyl alcohol spending 28 cm3 of preheated demineralised water. / It takes a very small flame not to rotate too fast Very good aesthetics and functioning. / When you open the box, it looks like a very small thing. / Looking at it better, it looks like a work of art for exhibition. / Putting it to work, it is a real and very good steam engine. / In the first trial, he operated for 25 min with 10 cm3 of 96% ethyl alcohol, using 28 cm3 of previously heated demineralized water. / A very small flame is long to not rotate too fast.

    The goods is a long time for shipment. The mini steam engine is a good product and works very well.

    The machine is very well made. It runs very smooth for a surprising long time. I do recommend pulling back the wick so the top of the flame is about 1cm below the boiler. This way it will take only a bit longer to warm up but she runs a bit more slowly and relaxed. Keep it well oiled. There are no bearings and the stainless steel parts will wear out the brass when not lubricated. I removed the piston to get oil inside the cylinder as there is no inline oiler. Great as a novelty or decoration.

    Excellent product, very well made, and operates well. Bought as an educational "toy" for my granddaughter. She likes to run it (under adult oversight) and now understands how a steam engine works. Well worth the price.

    Very well made but does need a wider flywheel bearing housing.
