I run an Alpha S852, but I have 3 friends that run Reedys and I'm sorry but you are talking through your hole.
The Reedys run really well and produce plenty of power at 230. All three can get 12 minutes easily and none of them lack pace. All but one have 3 gallons on the motor and they are just hitting the sweet spot.
Obviously the Reedy ain't for you, but to tear it to bits because you fried it is hardly fair.
I wouldn't buy a Reedy because it's too expensive for my budget and the Alpha is a mega motor for any money, never mind the pittance they ask for it, but I wouldn't hesitate to run one if someone offered me one for free
