Looking at this splitter
Not many reviews or posts online. Seems like a smaller company. They asking $1750 for a splitter that simular to DR rapid-fire that retails for $2500. Assuming. both made in China. DR power is own by Generac.

If you are in the market I would go with the Woodmaxx with the Honda engine and split the difference in price.
 
If you’re looking for a quick splitter I highly recommend a split fire. They are pricey but they come up used all the time which is what I got. The 2 sided wedge makes it really quick. Maybe not quite as fast as that but it’ll definitely out last the machine in question.
