Argh is right. But what on earth does "Surface does not have to be non-level" even mean? I would assume an alignment surface would have to be level, and if a surface is level, it is not non-level, so to me that bullet point is saying that the surface does, indeed, have to be level, which is a pain for the average hobbyist. So... yay?
I have to assume it's some sort of typo, because you're right, it ends up being "surface does have to be level" if you translate that gibberish.
The manufacturers even have this particular sentence on their own website in the product description.
Chinglish?
Is the sentence about surface level just a bad language transplation?
^ LOL best tattoo ever
I don't think Chinglish as they are a USA company. I think it's just not being read carefully. I actually emailed them about it and they still didn't get that the sentence is worded badly, but they indicated that the product works on any surface, regardless of whether it's level or not.
Despite the fact that they clarified the intent I still could not let the sentence go uncorrected and just sent another reply even more pointedly addressing the lack of clarity in the wording.
Wow, it takes more than one email to explain that the sentence is a double negative.
My faith in the company does not have to be non-good.
Drop one of the negatives and you get:
I think the person was a little less than enthused about my asking about the sentence again as this was the response...
Thank you for your input.
Are there any questions I can answer about the products?
In reply to Harvey :
Why yes there is? Does the surface have to level or non-level?
In reply to Harvey :
Perhaps we should gang up on them until the question gets answered. (Anonymously, politely and with NO mention of GRM of course)
Edit: I just emailed the company and politely asked them to clarify that portion of the advertisement.

I was tempted to ask again, but their first response made it clear enough that the intent was it works even when the surface is not level, but it is kind of frustrating to not have someone acknowledge specifically the error in the wording. I don't get the impression that correcting this is high on their list of todos even though it's damned unclear the way it is worded.

They have very bad reviews. I doubt they are really made in the US.

Took me a spcond.
Looks like something that might work as well as a fish hook, string and a digital level.

Hm, does look a bit poor quality. For $5000 I'd expect some awesome E36 M3.
For that price, it better come with a pair of Chinese hookers.
That price gets you a used alignment machine....

The newly unboxed kit in the review clearly has some alignment issues. "Surface does not have to be non-level" only hints at the control of the quality being not better than it should be.
