Is this machine a good buy?

I'm looking for lockout machine in the UK and found this one.

It is a Pro's Pro Professional 7000, here is the spec:
Attractive machines finished in blue with yellow clamps and the following features:

6 point mounting

Swivel clamp system

Quarter turn clamp locking system

Tension range 9-102 lbs

360º turntable

Two tennis/squash clamps

Set of stringing tools included free

Complete 3 year guarantee

And Free Delivery to the UK mainland

It looks good and it is priced at £346.63 ( $615.08 ) which is a little more expensive than others but the price includes free delivery which I think balances it out.

Should I get it...or not?

If youplan on doing a lot of stringing you might want to invest in an upright stringer. You should look into buying a used higher end one. Just my 2 cents.

MOrgan77: I might pay extra and get a stand, but I'm in the UK so it is pretty hard to find second hand machines, also these generally don't have guarentee's. Mabye I am looking for the wrong machine? These is what I need it for:
Stringing for myself
Stringing for my club
Stringing for my family
And Mabye
Send away racket stringing (If I was good enough)

I would need it to be:
Easy to use
Low matanience

I'm not sure about volume, but I would be happy with about 1-5 a week.

Can you reccomend me any machines by me telling you this?

Just search ebay for good buys. It might be tempting to get an eagnas machine but stay away from them. They break and eagnas has terrible customer service.
