----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Jeff: we have had our Montel compact storage units since 1989 and are very happy with them. They are manual (we avoided electrical like the plague) with the 3-pronged handles. Although much of the time one uses only one arm of the handle, there are times when it is useful to have the others there. Best, Rosemary.
