So far my techs are very happy with it.Is not a Fujikura, but for the price it works amazing!

Works great. No issues.

I have been using this splicer for about 3 months now, with about 1,500 splices under its belt. It’s not a super fancy splicer, but it does the job at a fraction of the cost of the cheapest name brand splicer.Fiber splicer: In order to do any changes on the machine, you must download an app. The machine does have a decent customization menu though. I tested a few splices when I first got the machine, and it does create a splice with very minimal loss if any. It is core alignment, and very rarely produces a splice higher than .03dB loss. The only flaw I repeatedly have with the machine is the inability to recognize some bad cleaves. For that reason, I turned off the automatic splice setting so that it pauses and I can check both cleaves before the splice. If your cleaver has a clean cut 100% of the time, then there is no need to turn off the auto setting.Fiber stripper: The fiber stripper works perfectly. I prefer them over my name brand strippers, especially due to having more ergonomic handles. Breaking a fiber while trying to strip it has been very few, far, and in between.Fiber cleaver: The cleaver works great 90% of the time, when adjusted properly. Mine had to be adjusted out of the box as I was consistently getting cracked cleaves. It works well enough now for me to not get frustrated, or feel the need to buy a cleaver that cost almost the same price as this entire kit.Alcohol Dispenser: The container is a bit small so it will have to be refilled more often. If your goal is to soak your cloth with alcohol, you will need to do quite a few pumps. It’s not the worst dispenser I’ve used though.VFL and Power Meter: I have not had a chance to confirm the accuracy of the power meter yet, but the VFL is plenty bright.Case: I really like the design of the case, with the fiber splicer being stored on top, with the tools being stored in a slide out drawer below. The stool that comes with it is tiny. Most people will probably have no use for it.Overall, I’m happy with my machine so far, and would definitely consider buying again if need be.

I have 96 successful, low loss spices. I spliced both 900 and 250 micron jacketed SM Commscope fibers. The heater had to be turned down a little but that is an easy setting and it’s normal to adjust for current room temperatures. The easy app makes setting and operating an easy task. Didn’t really use the cutter much because I have a trusty Jonard cleaver. The build in tool storage compartment is really convenient as well. I haven’t spliced MM yet but I don’t foresee any issues. For the price it’s an excellent welder. Nice little tool.

The splicer works good, it has an awesome heater but I had issues when installing the heat shrink in the heater. It would break the fiber, I was slowing down to see why it was breaking the fiber, but I couldn't see why. I was putting the sleeve and fiber exactly where it should go and the heater door would shut and 5 times it broke the fiber. I am going to keep using it and try to find out why.

To start off I have been in the telecom industry for almost 20 years for reference. But this is the first time in my own firming a new company.I saw this splicer had plenty of reviews and top performer. I finally had a chance to try it out on a fiber run. Once completed .02&.04 db loss was measured after the splice.The screen is decent and is in a fixed position and is operated with only a few button but mostly works off an app. In my opinion is horrible and you are at the mercy of your phone for at least initial setup.

Product worked good for a few splices I needed initially then went back to use again 8 months later half of the screen did not work, worked with a Richard aka Wang Kai to get product returned for repair, only responds overnight so 99.9% foreign seller to USA, paid for shipping to ship product back to a house in California for repair since item shipped cannot get a response, so item was paid for then broke then paid for shipping to repair and now don't have item or responses has been 3 months since item was shipped to them and received. DO NOT BUY THESE ZERO SUPPORT AFTER SALE AND IF GIVEN APPEARS THEY STEAL THE PRODUCT

This splicer did as promised and will buy again if needed.
