I have 2 Continental 20 pounders. They are 120 single phase and have direct drive motors controlled by a VFD. They work quite well for my needs. I bought them last year after the 30lb Continental I had finally quit working after 13 years. They were $4000 each including the pedestals they sit on. I bought mine through a local distributor.

Home use? I bought the Samsung from Lowes. I haven't had any problems with it in the last 3 years.
