We had 3 toyota machines and withing 6 months of getting the Amaya - sold the Toyota ones off. Wasn't worth the hassle. We just stopped using the toyota machines because the Amaya was so much better in every way. Plus, service on the Toyota was something that you normally had someone else do and had to wait on their schedules. You did normal oiling and hoped it was enough and maybe not too much? The Amayas just don't have those issues.
