I looked at some of the videos on youtube and some people made negative

about plastic gears and so on.

Plastic gears are not "always innately" bad. On some machines they serve
as the mechanical fuse, so if somebody decides to tackle twice as much
as the machine can handle, the plastic gear fails. The operator making a
video to show the world rarely admits that he was abusing the machine
when the gear broke, of course.

I find that people who use youtube videos as a substitute for writing
out information are generally not the kind of people I would desire to
receive any type of information from.
