Inefficient?- it all depends on perspective...

@$30 a pop and a tendency to quickly burn out when bumping into a stop- the motor with gearbox is very efficient at generating revenue.

The first reason we got rid of the gearboxes is the motor sounded so much better (i.e., not that sound of impending doom) when relieved of their gearboxes. We've had 5 motors: 2 with gearboxes have already burnt out.
