Oh Susie- I have one too. a MC4800 that is. love it. although it's doing a whoosing sound now. just had it serviced. it skips on zig zag if too thick an area too. but i've had it for a few years now and love it.

Agree with everything else you've said, too. |
I fill mine all the way and never had any problems.
