Maybe @riley_price just got unlucky with a faulty unit. Most appliances are pretty safe if you follow the instructions. It's probably fine for normal use.

My buddy's cafe in Austin had the same rule last year. They made the baristas wipe down everything at 2pm sharp, even with a line out the door. It just made everyone annoyed and the closers had to do it all over again anyway.

Wow, I never thought a simple twist could cause that much trouble.

Just picture all that polyester carpet piling up in a landfill two states over while we pat ourselves on the back for our neat little nylon pile here. Thanks for the reality check, @spencer_chen6. It's like we're playing a giant shell game with our trash, moving it around so we don't have to look at it. We solve one problem by making a bigger one somewhere else, and call it a win.

Wait, it only lasted a week before it failed? That's shockingly bad even for a gas station buy. I figured those cheap ones might leak eventually, but a total failure that fast is just pathetic. You really do get what you pay for.
