Anybody own one or have any advise?

By the way, like a lot of very successful products, the Mantis has a group
of people who like to convince you that it is not as good as it really is.
There are good reasons why so many gardeners own the Mantis.

The only way for you to know the truth is for you to try it out, and let
them pay to take it back if you don't like it.
