Purchased several years ago. Used only a few times, but the plastic part broke when I lifted it by the folding release lever (which is not the part you're supposed to lift with). It has been repaired with glue. There are no issues with the folding mechanism. It is perfectly usable. Otherwise, it's like new and very clean. Cleaned. The arm can be raised, which is convenient. The orange pads are also removable and can be kept clean.
