I would've given 5-stars however, there was damage to the internal packing causing cosmetic damage to the pole. Also, it's advertised as odorless; however, there is a moderate odor emitted after powering it on. It's been a few days of use and the smell is still there. Could be just a break-in period, but very noticeable oil/paint/burn scent when using indoors or in a screened patio. Assembly was easy and performed by one person. I performed Step 4 after Step 7 (figure 8) to allow more slack with the electrical cord because the cord bunched when connecting the support tube. Very sturdy base and would imagine it would take a very strong wind to knock it down. When adjusting the height of the telescoping pole, the electric cord would snag unless I fed or positioned the cord with my feet.
