Anyone in the US get either a hand only unit or a combo with electrical base yet?

The lack of clarity on shipping timeframes is now casting a long shadow on their awards.

I messaged them and will post any reply.

The problem is the voltage, not the plug...
If 220V available, I would buy anything is now in shop without waiting for next shipment.
Opened mine and there are no electronics inside, is just the motor and an EMI filter, nothing else.
Until posting a new thread with Arco teardown, if any build question, please ask here.

There were 429 units of ARCO hand grinder only, as Super Early Bird pledge.
Offer for hand grinders only was not extended, as was for the combos, 4-5x much more requests for combos.

So still in the dark, unplugged, about shipments to US of combos. I believe the lack of communication is frustrating those who have patiently waited.

About lack of communication... the manufacturer FIRST presentation video comes after 18 months of ... project gestation.

On their shop page, the type B plug variant is available for (pre)order, though...

I am pretty sure that two weeks ago trying to add anything else than EU plug result in an "Out of stock" message

Are you suggesting they are close to shipping? June is almost over and the page says shipping beginning of June which again suggests poor communication.

They announced 2 weeks ago the arrival of second shipment, read container from China probably:

... so yes, there are some correlations suggesting they maybe already shipped to the first US backers.
